Your guide to the 5000s:
Edukated
You know any store that has a Nike SB account is REAL. They don't dish out those SB accounts just for looking pretty. The edukated store keeps it that way, stocking the creme de la creme of international streetwear labels - kids have shit on lock.
3 years into the game they stock everything from decks to hardware to apparel to shoes to accessories.
Walk in, then ride out. Pick up Alife, 10 Deep, Mighty Healthy, Huf, Benny Gold, MHI, Mishka, Ransom, The Heist, Frank 151, Official Headwear, Married to the Mob, Stussy Deluxe, Diamond and Nike SB. Shit, if you're in Radelaide, don't forget to pick up a nice bottle of red. Fuck it, get a case !

Wasteland
The peeps behind wasteland must be big fans of juxtaposition, that or they have a really good sense of art. Log into their site and it can be easily mistaken for a Shag-esque art blog, but then peep the brands list and you have a higher appreciation for fashion April 77, Chronicles of Never, Commes Des Garcons, David & Martin, Dries Van Noten, Junk De Luxe, Ksubi, Les Bijoux De Sophie, M by Missoni, Mala Brajkovic, Malene Birger, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Martin Margiela, Mawi, Sass & Bide, See by Chloe, Surface To Air, Therese Rawsthorne, Unconditional. Whammo there you have it, it's not jsut a pretty site, the wasteland kids have a good mix of the finer things in life but thats kinda their style "Wasteland is more a destination than just a store because of the variety of stock we sell.
There’s something in the store for everyone, and there’s no attitude at Wasteland, you can spend $15 or $15,000; everyone leaves with the same carry bags… and that’s the rule!
