Multi-designer shoe boutique Rapport and SoleSearch, a street culture brand, joined hands to open a collaborative store in Hyderabad that sneaker aficionados would love. ‘Serious drip’ is how as the Gen Z sneakerheads would put it. SoleSearch is an online marketplace for limited edition and high-demand sneakers among other things which connects buyers with sellers from across the country, ensuring that all items are 100 percent authentic and provide a safe buying experience for our users. For Hyderabadi shoppers, the collaborative store is the coming together of an online range in an offline experience.
The store on Road No. 10, Jubilee Hills, incorporates pop culture street elements inspired by the world of basketball in its décor. Aisles full of sneakers on display give you the urge to start jogging the next day. From Air Jordan and Yeezy to exclusive collaborations, it stocks a fusion of international icons and handpicked Indian streetwear labels. Crocs, and exclusive collaborations with Dior, Tiffany, Off-White and Travis Scott are available to shoppers as well.
Visitors can also explore iconic international brands such as Supreme, Fear of God Essentials and Sneaker Lab, alongside a thoughtfully curated selection of homegrown Indian streetwear labels like Valkyre, Rising Among, Woi Woi, and Freeze the Youth. Teja Bodepudi, the founder of Rapport, Prabal Baghla and Param Singh, co-founder and CEO of SoleSearch respectively, say that the 900-square feet store offers an immersive experience for fashion-forward individuals.
Rapport also has shoe laundry and leather restoration services, gait analysis for personalized fitting and foot health assessment, and a comprehensive selection of limited-edition sneakers, smart shoes, and customized collections.
