Manila’s Must-Visit Streetwear Sanctuaries

1. SecretFresh

Secret Fresh isn’t your average streetwear store. Founded on a passion for collecting, it’s grown into a cultural powerhouse. What began as a haven for vinyl toys has blossomed into a brand encompassing fashion, lifestyle, and even art.

BigBoiCheng, the mastermind behind it all, curates a space overflowing with hype—think limited-edition streetwear, fresh designs, and even coveted collaborations like the one with the Philippine National Basketball team, Gilas. But Secret Fresh’s reach extends beyond clothes. Tucked away in the back is an art gallery showcasing new exhibits every few weeks, solidifying their commitment to fostering creativity in all its forms.

2. DBTK (Don’t Blame the Kids Apparel Co.)

Don’t Blame the Kids (DBTK) isn’t just a clothing brand, it’s a movement. Founded by the Javier brothers, Emil and Vince, DBTK embodies the spirit of a generation with its positive and goal-oriented messages. Their designs are more than just clothes; they’re statements. With over 300,000 followers, queues that snake around their booth during events and the merch reselling frenzy that erupts outside, their popularity is undeniable.

But DBTK prioritizes more than just hype. They’ve built a loyal community—the DBTKMOB—through a shared passion for streetwear and a message of empowerment. With multiple stores and a constant drive to evolve, DBTK is a streetwear powerhouse with its sights set on international recognition.

The NBA Store Manila isn’t just another sports apparel shop. This Southeast Asian flagship boasts the most extensive range of official NBA merchandise in the region. From Mitchell & Ness throwback jerseys to signature New Era headgear, basketball fans can lose themselves in a haven dedicated to their favorite teams and players. With a cozy seating area for live game viewing, a gaming corner, and even a half-court for shooting hoops, it’s an immersive basketball experience in every sense.
