Premium Goods back again...in Park Slope

As avid sneakerheads, we ruefully reported the closing of the Premium Goods shop on Fulton Street back in December. Our diligent beat reporter has notified us that the new shop is up and running in Park Slope on 5th Avenue, of all places.

(If we had been dutifully scanning the posts on Niketalk, we would have found out last week.)

My original suspicion was that rising rents on Fulton St. may have been the ouster of Premium Goods, but their move to 5th Avenue may well refute that premise. When they were in Ft. Greene, their main clientele may have been the more urbane types from the neighborhood, Brooklyn Tech students and spillover shoppers from the Fulton Street Mall. In their new locale, they are probably more apt to get the Bugaboo-strolling dad looking for a pair of Adidas than the latest Bathing Ape release or Air Force One quickstrike.

We hope to visit their new store this weekend.
