Waraku, Venice Beach, California
In last month's Domino magazine there was a feature on shopping in Venice Beach. While most of what was profiled is far out of my financial reach, I was intrigued by the mention of a Japanese (!) sneaker store (!!) called Waraku. Last weekend's 100-degree-plus temps here in the San Gabriel Valley seemed as good an excuse as any to head to the beach.
Waraku is tiny. Tiny!! And it was packed, making it a less-than-perfect environment for a claustrophobe like myself. Since I am, after all, on a spending freeze, I only took a quick look around, but it was love at first sight. There were tons of unusual Converse; Asics from Japan; and my favorite - these great slip-ons from Namitatsu. At $78 per pair, they're a bit on the spendy side. In an ideal world, though, I'd get at least three pairs.
