Caliroots

Caliroots started in 2003 on a backstreet in downtown Stockholm, the idea of Andreas Koschnike, who'd spent his career selling Californian streetwear brands like Stüssy and Freshjive across Northern Europe. From the outset the shop leaned on that Californian influence while bringing in brands from further afield that fitted the same mood, refusing to sit neatly in skate, urban or fashion boxes and stocking books and art alongside clothes. Now running five shops from that Stockholm base, it's built its name on sneakers and streetwear spanning several lifestyle categories rather than sticking to one lane. The edit mixes Californian names such as Freshjive and Bel-Air Athletics with global labels including Études, Kappa Kontroll, Dedicated and Levi's, alongside sneaker specialists like Boutique Sportif and Buddy.
