Sole Stop

Sole Stop is an independent sneaker and streetwear boutique in Columbus, Ohio, opened in June 2020 by co-founders Jacob "Wess" Wess and Bailey Leforge. Wess first queued for a Jordan 5 "Oreo" in 2013 and started collecting at 12, and the pair now run two shops with a mission to stock the newest, hottest sneakers and streetwear at prices as competitive as possible.

The edit is built around sneakers, streetwear and heritage. Labels such as ASKWHATNOTWHY, BLACK SCALE, BOY LONDON and KOLLAR sit alongside names including Stussy, Clot, Garbstore, Carrots and Zanerobe, plus Reigning Champ and Minimum. The shop says it gives back to the communities that have backed it since opening in 2020.
