    Don't be fooled by its convenient store appearance. Step behind the old Snapple machine and enter a high-end hidden sneaker shop that is the ultimate shoe connoisseur's dream come true.

    It is the most amazing store I've ever seen. Even when you know it's there, you still wouldn't quite believe it until you walk through the Snapple vending machine.

    Hidden in the back of a bodega, this world-famous streetwear spot is as hard to find as the sneakers sold inside. The only place where you can buy an ice-cold Yoo-hoo and a clean pair of Jordans.

    Looks like a convenience store on the outside (with really old, out-dated products), walk in and towards the soda vending machine in the back right corner.

    This store is inspired by double stores in New York. Although the store carries exclusive brands that sneaker-holics wait hours in line on the street for, they also carry clothing.

    Once you find the "bodega" style storefront, you'll then need to discover the true entrance to one of Back Bay's best sneaker and streetwear shops. Well worth a visit.

    Don't pass up looking through the cases near the register; lots of cool jewelry/sunglasses/accessories.

    Beyond the Snapple machine is a glitzy store worlds apart from the bodega front.

    This store is worth a walkthrough even if it's not the best to buy kicks. Music & swag overload.

    Hit up the sneaker slingers to see which new kicks you should totally be wearing.

    It looks like a dingy convenience store, but don’t be fooled—behind a secret door a world of graphic tees, printed hoodies, and old-school sneakers from Adidas, Puma, and more, awaits. Read more

    Angelique is the shit. I buy shoes elsewhere next to never. If you haven't been, go. ... You'll never look at a Snapple machine the same way again.
