The 20 best places to go shopping in Wynwood

UNKWN is Miami’s premier streetwear store, a place of “exclusive drop” and “limited edition” lore for those who subscribe to HypeBeast like it’s religion. Co-founded by LeBron James and his childhood friends, Frankie Walker Jr. and Jaron Kanfer, UNKNWN brings together art, fashion, sports, music and community under one roof. Expect to find brands like NIKE, Jordan, Fear of God, Maison Margiela and Pleasures, but don’t miss UNKNWN’s own eponymous line, which includes limited-edition collabs with everyone from the Miami Dolphins to Thom Browne.

In addition to being a great store, one of the things that makes UNKNWN special is its commitment to building community. Adjacent to the store is UNKNWN’s full-size basketball court, where non-profits and brands host events, gatherings and activities throughout the year. Especially of note is the UNKNWN Fit Club, which hosts frequent runs and other fitness events like HIIT and yoga classes for locals. If you need a reason to add to your Air Max collection, well, this might just be it.

What's Wynwood without a vintage shop? Located just outside the neighborhood core, Peachtree Vintage is a dream/angel/fairy/love-core cove with tons of unique, eclectic finds. This isn't a place you're going for designer "steals." It eschews labels for accessibly priced finds that are heavy on the 90s and Y2K trend, and it's aesthetically a delight to step inside.

OFY is a local lifestyle brand touting high-quality loungewear for men and women. Statement-making but just as subdued, the brand features classic tees, joggers, hoodies and more in neutral and trendy colors and patterns – as well as some in fabrics that they've patented (trust us, the terry-linen is delicious). There's also some limited edition prints and Florida-themed collections for good fun as well as contemporary accessories and footwear from up-and-coming and local brands. So, should you make a stop? As the brand might suggest, Oh Fuck Yeah.

This menswear boutique opened in Wynwood way before the mid-rises and cover-charging bars rolled in, and in the years since it’s evolved from a multi-brand retailer into one with its very own clothing line called Dear Deer. Designed in Miami but made in L.A., each collection goes all in on a storyline and is often done in collaboration with artists or brands.

In addition, Basico carries other designers and is especially popular for its diverse selection of matching swim trunks and button-downs, denim, tees, dress sneakers and more.

Wynwood Shop has come a long way from its humble alleyway beginnings in 2013. And its new indoor location on NW 25th Street touts many of the artists and makers that were with them from the start.

Almost everything inside is made in Miami-Dade, from cute embroidered tees to statement handbags and eye-catching posters and prints to hand-painted jewelry and fedoras. This is your one-stop-shop for all things Wynwood, so drop by for a little souvenir from Miami’s artsiest neighborhood.

If there's a designer you like, RUN, don't walk to 260 Sample Sale. What was once an NYC staple has made its way to Miami, and is the premier place in town to score big deals on contemporary and designer brands, from clothing to house products, and lingerie to shoes.

Retail therapy should spark curiosity and joy, and for that there’s Glottman. This is Wynwood’s oldest standing retail shop and is only a third of the Glottman whole, which includes a studio (for design, architecture and lighting design services) and a showroom (for interior architecture and design systems).

But let’s get back to what you came here for: the design-forward conversation pieces! Think Taschen coffee table books on creativity and travel, a skyscraper chess set that doubles as decor, architectural home goods designed by the likes of Zaha Hadid, and scents and incense (including a proprietary blend) that have proven to be quite popular with the locals. Equal parts sophisticated and quirky, but always interesting, this is the perfect place to buy a housewarming or birthday gift for your most creative friend.

Canvas aims to bring Miami's Creative class together, with special emphasis on Latinos. The store carries an international roster of hard-to-find fashion designers, from Japan to Puerto Rico, with a curated selection that's markedly comfy and design-forward.

Past events have included a Joe Jonas's "A Cup of Joe" pop-up and a Tainy sci-fi merch release. 

You can’t miss Pitusa, with its whimsical facade on Wynwood’s busiest street corner and Porsche 911 in the window.

Sole Garden also has a sneaker cleaning service, so you can send your current kicks in to keep them so nice and so clean.

It doesn’t matter how many times you may have visited Wynwood Marketplace, because there’s always something new to discover.
