Got You P.E.G.-ed

Passport Exhibit Gallery

Junior high is no time for fashion commitments.

And yet you’re forever bonded with your banana clips, cassette tapes, and, of course, your beloved Air Jordans.

But MJ’s retired (for now) and those sneakers don’t fit like they did in sixth grade. So now where do you go for your kicks fix? Passport Exhibit Gallery.

Combination retail store and gallery space, the recently opened boutique sells the latest tennis shoes from around the world. Hard-to-find Adidas collaborative exclusives (Dakota by We Are the Superlative Conspiracy and APS by Oki-Ni), the British-fave Worn Again, and the underground favorite Feit line the walls.

There are also nonrubber-soled options from which to choose, courtesy of designers like Posture Magnetic, Pookie and Co., Kim White, Coexist, and Lacoste leather goods. Not to mention a host of high-top-friendly magazines (Tokion, Sneaker Freaker) and books (Mushroom Girls Virus  by Deanne Cheuk) filled with ideas to update your old-school wardrobe.

You know, just in case.

Passport Exhibit Gallery, 3112 Swiss Avenue, East Dallas (214-443-5190).
