The Makati sneaker mix
Makati closets skew toward the long-tenured collector: Jordan 1s and 4s acquired years ago, Yeezy 700s from when the 700 wave dominated, New Balance 990 series for office-casual rotation, Salomon and On Cloud running shoes for the weekend Bonifacio High Street and Rockwell run-club crowd. Less of the latest hype, more of the careful accumulation.
Branches and access
Legaspi Makati at Prince Plaza II Condominium, 106 Legazpi Street. One Ayala at the LGF service avenue of the One Ayala mall. Either branch accepts sneaker intake with the same handling and pricing. Drop in during regular hours.
