Storeowner Derek Curry confirmed with FN that he is opening a new Sneaker Politics location in Dallas. It will be surrounded by several other cool destinations such as BrainDead Brewing, baseball bat company Warstic (co-owned by White Stripes frontman Jack White) and a skate shop that’s new to the district, The Point. While making his rounds, he noticed there were no major boutiques nearby, but almost everyone was wearing great sneakers. “I asked everyone, ‘Where did you get those?’ Everyone was telling me different websites or StockX,” Curry said. “I was like, ‘There’s nothing here, but everyone wants the product. But it seems like Dallas is already up on sneakers,” Curry said. “They were talking to me about Acronym [Nike] Prestos and different brands. And a lot of the kids I spoke with knew about [Sneaker Politics] already.” Although he’s opening a Sneaker Politics store in Deep Ellum, he said he has no plans to open another Regime store, his high-end banner, in the district. (Curry opens Regime doors in cities with existing Sneaker Politics locations.) He said he would, however, consider opening a Regime storefront somewhere else in Dallas.
