Carrying everything from Adidas to Reebok to Nike, Bob's classic Kicks, is on the forefront of the sneaker craze. Set in a lofty building with high ceilings, this store is open, airy, and hip. Open for nearly three years now Bob's has proven that Detroit, especially the Wayne State student body needs a store like this, locally. What I love about Bob's is just because they are the only sneaker store in this specific area, they remain knowledgeable. They truly want to be the best, and provide customers with an unbelievable experience that includes some serious, but friendly sneaker 101'ing. Their Myspace page claims they are "the best thing on two feet since Bruce Lee" and I agree and I am a girl obsessed with kung fu. Looking for some new sweet kicks? Go to Bob's period, the end.

Love the Nike community store…read more Generally the best prices on Nike shoes to be found. I don't care if they are last years shoes. Lots and lots of shoes. They have some mens clothes (shorts, shirts), but there is not a wide variety, which is fine for me. I am usually looking for workout stuff. Good location in downtown. Get there early because the store can turn into a zoo at popular times.

The customer service rep working explained the concept of the store, asked me what size I normally wear, said "oh, we don't have much in THAT size." She half-heartedly looked a couple of things up and then literally turned her back on me mid-sentence and started talking to somebody else without even a "excuse me" or anything. I went home and looked at the website, and it turns out that Bonobos makes a TON of stuff in my size, and in fact has a whole section on their site devoted to bigger sizes. I'll give the company another shot, but definitely not the Detroit storefront...

Update 7/7/26: Shinola did eventually escalate my issue to…read moremanagement and offered a full replacement. They still lose a star for the unacceptable customer service runaround. Even if the industry standard now, I expect more from them as a Detroit Metro native. === Here is the alleged Shinola "Guarantee" in pictures. Sent a pre-auth form with picture requesting repair. They approved it as repairable and asked me to ship it at my expense. Weeks later, they said they would send it out of state to an expert for a 6-8 week repair. Then without further messaging, UPS returns it with a "Not Serviced" notice. The clearly outsourced Customer Service rep's response to costing me $15 in shipping for nothing? A 10% discount on my next purchase. The cobbler down the street ended up fixing it for $15. I hope this review does not cost Shinola much more than the $15 I wasted sending it to them. I hope so because I'm not vindictive. It would be a shame if a deceptive, flawed customer service procedure managed to DISGRACE and tarnish the image of Detroit further through DISGUSTING business practices. Hopefully, the 10% discount offer I will never use makes up for it.

This visit to the GM Renaissance Center felt bittersweet. With GM moving its global headquarters to…read morethe Hudson's Detroit building, much of the RenCen is already closed for renovation. Level A - the first floor was closed, and we could only walk around Level 1, with limited access to view the cars from above. For years, this has been one of my favorite spots to bring friends when they visited Detroit. Seeing everything from vintage GM models to upcoming vehicles all in one place always felt iconic. Knowing this was likely one of the last visits before major demolition begins made it feel even more emotional. We'll truly miss this space as we've known it. The change, while disappointing at first, makes sense. The two office towers closest to the river, along with the connecting podium, are slated for demolition. The original 1970s-era design simply no longer fits modern work needs, especially with the shift toward remote and hybrid work. While it's sad to see this space go, the future plans, opening up the riverfront and creating a Navy Pier-style park and entertainment area, give hope that something even better is coming.

Envisioned by Henry Ford II as a "city within a city" to counteract the decline of Detroit in the 1960s, it was designed by architect John Portman who is also responsible for the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco and the New York Marriott Marquis, among others. Phase one was completed in 1977 with additional towers added in 1981 for a total of seven! Sadly, General Motors decided to relocate its headquarters elsewhere and much of the office space is vacant. But that doesn't make it any less interesting and the GM display in the lowest level is darned awesome. [Review 682 of 2025 - 390 in Michigan - 24243 overall]
