For a preview of the new Billy Reid Manhattan Store on Bond Street, we turn to none other than men.style’s "First Look." "Seven old staircases were put together to build the New York shop’s stairs and railing; the downstairs ceiling is covered in cabinets sourced from a Mississippi schoolhouse." The new space has a home like feel with plates and antlers adorning the walls.

Commemorating the Y-3 store opening in Manhattan this week, the brand released the “Nice To Meet You” sneaker, that comes in black leather/denim on the upper, proclaiming its love for the big city on the tongue and the inner sole. Via Coolhunting.

The New York Times has a nice new article up about the recently opened Muji Flagship Store in Manhattan – The Civilized World Finds A Refugee.

“Muji’s bright cube-room on Broadway takes all the ugliness out of shopping. A refined combination of Kate’s Paperie, Uniqlo, Bed Bath & Beyond and the Container Store, it is the folded-down, crisp origami essence of a superstore. Everything here seems a necessity — stationery, bedding, flatware, rain gear — so that for once in your consumer holiday journeying, you can shop for gifts and convince yourself you are not being a slop pig.”
