Not everyone gets shoe culture. But those that do know that it's a wonderful mix of style, community and self-expression. That's why a shop like Archive is so near and dear to many shoe-heads here in the Valley. Yes, it's a place to buy, sell and trade the latest Nikes or a boatload of other premium kicks, but it's more like a gathering place, a true hang spot where the intersection of street culture, art and music is a celebration of what makes life so rich and interesting. And, yeah, it's just shoes at the end of the day, but then maybe that's the point — what you wear on your feet speaks volumes about your life and personality, and you've got to come correct if you're going to put your best foot forward. Archive's whole vibe is quite unassuming (you might even miss the storefront out on Central Avenue), and that's because it's always about the shoes. Be they high-tops or low-tops, Halloween-themed or all-white, Archive's shoes are a message to the world about authenticity and being your own dang person.
