Sorry about the shaky camera work, but I was rushing. I didn’t realize I could have parked in the structure behind the shop and got my parking validated at Head to Toe.
The only locally owned, independent and Black owned vintage shop carrying used and new sneakers as well as prominent brands like Supreme. The address is Downtown Memphis 100 Peabody Suite 125. The spot is courtesy of the Open Initiative from the Downtown Commission which gives start ups the opportunity to operate an extended pop-up shop to test the viability of a business before a full launch.
Head to Toe features some cool retail concepts and games to keep visitors engaged with new opportunities and the sneaker wall features lightly worn footwear which contributes to the circular economy and gives kicks a second life.
Kymer, one of the owners, stated that the goal was to provide parents with an option to place their kids in a dope pair of kicks for between 60-80 dollars a pop. This includes VNDS Yeezy and Jordans.
It’s a new idea for Memphis and as one of the standalone spots in the city boorishness could evolve into something really dope.
