Madrid's flagship store beats New York's, barely.
Having left our beloved Zante V1/V2s in the US before our trip to Spain, made an urgent pit stop to Madrid's NB store on Calle Gran Via. Store was trendy, with mostly bilingual (English) staff who were much more receptive and helpful than their NYC 5th Avenue Store.
Found the Zante V2s, but unfortunately only in one color, and missing the occasional half-size. Ended up taking home the V2 Breathe (also in one color); all prices were full retail. No custom sneaker lab a la NYC. Unless plan is to go warehousing, probably better off to buy online. Or fly to Boston/Brighton and get them at significant markdowns at the NB Headquarters store.
Interesting cafe at the back of the store. US locations should take notice! read more
