Hi going to paris soon. Im addicted to Nike air max 1! Which stores would you all recommend? Heard oqium is good
Hi Burak, Opium is realy good. Unfortunately the store burned down a few weeks ago. Don’t know if they have found a solution yet. I would check ‘Le 8 Rive Gauche’, they have a big NIKE collection. Otherwise ‘Size’, next to Les Halles.
Good luck, have a good trip in Paris and if you happen to find another great store, let me know.
