Acland Street Village

Q: Which St Kilda store has people lining up and camping out overnight for limited-edition sneaker drops?
A: Prime Athletic.( who ese?! )

Since opening in 1997 at 227 Barkly Street, Prime has become St Kilda’s go-to for premium sneakers and streetwear.

They stock global brands like Nike, Adidas Originals, ASICS, and fashion-forward labels like Fred Perry, Carhartt WIP, NN07, and Levi’s Vintage Clothing — plus their own in-house labels like Left Field NYC and Jackman.

It’s not just the limited edition sneaker drops — the staff are known for being super helpful and knowledgeable when you’re hunting for hard-to-find kicks or unique streetwear.

If you want the full Prime experience, you’ve got to visit the store in person.
Do we need to mention its a perfect place for all your gifts ( perhaps pick up a classic CASIO watch? Plus another for yourself! )

📍 227 Barkly Street, St Kilda
🕚 Mon–Sat, 11am–5:30pm Sunday 11am-4pm

If your holiday shopping list is starting to rival your TBR pile, Readings Acland Street is an easy way to restore some order.

Still undecided after flipping through the Summer Reading Guide?
A Readings gift card is always a safe bet — especially with those excellent @oslodavis illustrations.

If you do want to pick something yourself, there’s plenty to choose from:
Booker Prize winners, a big range of vinyl records, novelty gifts, gorgeous greeting cards, unique wrapping papers, and the returning Readings 1000-piece jigsaw with its new 2025 design full of hidden books. (Perfect for anyone who loves a quiet challenge — and spotting familiar titles in the shelves.)

It’s the kind of store where you pop in for one present and walk out with three books for yourself as well and a card you absolutely could not resist.
