Nomadic Refuge

November 12, 2008 by Logan Steele

Have you ever found yourself somewhere, that you have past by time and time again, and once finally there, wonder why it had taken you so long? Well that describes my love affair with, Nomad. Sister store to both Goodfoot and Ransom (I’ll get back to this point in a minute). This edgy men’s boutique is home to some of the rarest denim and overall high-end street labels in the city. As well as some of the coolest male jewelry and accessory selections, to boot. Nommes de Guerres, Commes des Garcon, Supreme, Icerok, Simon Miller Jeans, are just a hand full of the designers offered in this very unassuming retailer. Toronto’s shopping just got interesting.

This store was actually recommended to me, about three years ago, when I had mentioned to a friend that I was on the hunt for a pair of Adidas Y3 sneakers. They said, at the time, “That was only only place that came to mind that even carried the brand”. I had asked them, “Where the store was located?” And, was surprised when they had replied, “Beside Goodfoot and underneath Ransom”. Now, these two stores I was very familiar with and had frequented. So I was puzzled on how it was I could have missed this gem. I made my way over, and just like an answer that was under your nose that whole time, there was Nomad. Believe me, there was far more than just Y3’s to hold any ones interest. So, I guess, the moral of my story is: don’t make my mistake and find you way to Nomad sooner than later.
