Probus

Profile

For its 20th anniversary in June 2015, Probus owner Rey Cordova moved the high-end streetwear shop from Washington Heights to the Stack, New York City’s first modular building.

�We’re staying true to the aesthetic of the building with exposed pipes and a concrete floor. As soon as you walk in there’s a full wall with footwear, and in the middle of the store there’s a counter and a huge denim wall, both custom-designed by Herlander Passos. We have more space now, and we’re going to do a lot more events, like whiskey tastings. We’re also going to have an espresso bar and on-premise tailoring, so people can come in, relax, drink, shop, and spend two hours here. The beams in the middle of the store are the actual support beams of the building itself. It goes with our style because we sell more high-tech streetwear like Y-3 long core tees ($145) and Filling Pieces leather sneakers ($240).� �Rey Cordova
