Sneaker freaks rejoice: This shop specializes in limited-edition new styles and sought-after classics. Men weep: it's for women only.

It has been said that a person's haircut and footwear tells you everything you need to know about their style—you don't even have to case their clothing in between. This makes sense to the legions of fashionistas who look borderline homeless yet obsess over their sneakers—and will pay in the hundreds of dollars for a coveted pair. Kendo is the store where gym-shoe fetishists can drool over obscure, unworn styles from the '80s and early '90s as well as those arty limited-edition batches by—at the moment—Nike and Adidas.
