Play the Nintendo 3DS on Granville

Nintendo has a cool booth set up by Sears on the Georgia side to promote the release of the Nintendo 3DS. You can try it out to see if you like it and just completely muddle the gamer stereotype by playing video games outside while you doing so. Win-win.

adidas ObyO x Jeremy Scott Release Today

The first drop of adidas Originals by Originals x Jeremy Scott collection at the adidas Originals store (848 Granville Street) released this morning at 10 am. It has just been a few hours, but they have limited quantity and high demand, so no holds today.



The Teddy Bear shoe from the collection is just epic, and they made a special note that there is an extremely limited quantities of this sneaker and sizes start at Men's US 6.5. Not everybody is going to love the design, but I like it for its sheer uniqueness. Maybe Lil Wayne is cut from the same cloth as he rocked the sneakers last New Year's Eve.
