The Next Door

The Next Door was opened in Avignon in 2006 by Nicolas Ivars, a pioneer of France's skate scene who'd already been running Circle since the late nineties. That grounding in skate and street culture still shapes the shop, which has grown to two stores, in Avignon and Paris.

The edit sits at the sharper end of streetwear, mixing directional labels with proper designer names. Expect Bianca Chandon, Real Bad Man, Kids of Immigrants and Phingerin alongside Nike ACG and Oakley Factory Team, plus smaller, more considered names like LC23, Manasi 7, Raer and Julius Tart eyewear. It's a menswear shop for people who take their streetwear seriously: skate-literate, design-conscious and always looking a step ahead of the obvious.
