Wherever I go and whatever I do, I’m always greeted with, “Where did you buy those sneakers? Those are fire.” And while there are dozens of sneaker stores across the globe, it’s fair to say that no two are the same. While you might find your gems at your local shop, finding the right (or rare) pair of sneakers requires a bit of hunting. You’re not going to find the best of the best at your local retailer. You need to find the best sneaker stores. Here is a list of some of the most famous sneaker stores around the globe.

1. Flight Club
