Do you know there are streetwear and sneakers exclusively designed for women that can help express their inner creativity and individuality? If you are on the hunt for a good pair of sneakers or eye-catching streetwear, look no further than Makeway, Canada’s first independent sneaker haven for women, by women.

Today’s UPS small business of the day is Makeway.

Makeway is North America’s standalone women’s sneaker shop. Abby Albino and Shelby Weaver are the faces behind this exclusive sneaker boutique. Makeway strives to bring justice to the sneaker industry and make room in the sneaker culture for the female population as well as the members of the LGBTQ2s+ community.

Makeway stocks big brands such as Nike, Jordan, Reebok, UGC, Converse, and Puma, along with a range of local accessory brands, most of which are owned by women of colour. Launched in Toronto two years back, the store has become an institution already in the Canadian streetwear scene, as well as a community space where like-minded women can connect and dream big.

Makeway, founded by Abby Albino and Shelby Weaver, is the only women’s shoe store in North America. The premium sneaker boutique aspires to bring justice to the sneaker business and to make a place in the streetwear culture for women as well as the members of the LGBTQ2s+ community. The boutique, which opened two years ago in Toronto, has already established itself as an institution in the Canadian streetwear scene.

Makeway, in short, is an inclusive space for anyone who is fond of streetwear.
