If you’ve ever shopped on Jamaica Ave. in Queens or any other non-trendy hood in the U.S., you’ll love Chapters.  The interior is no frills, with sneakers stacked from floor to ceiling.  The owners have copied inner-city store ambience by blaring hip-hop mix tapes out of a shitty stereo with blown-out speakers.  But the difference is that Chapters actually has heat!  It carries limited kicks from Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Visvim, Mad Foot, and others.  You’ll feel like you never left home.
