Unique Shops | BURN RUBBER | Royal Oak, MI
When Burn Rubber owners Rick and Ro took over this sneaker boutique in Detroit’s suburbs, the place was composed primarily of Nike merch and running enthusiast gear. But over the past year and a half the store has evolved to embody the personalities of its new owners. Rick is a former Finishline manager with jokes for days, and Ro is a fierce emcee, equally well known for his Crayola-spectrum kicks. Now Burn Rubber is at the forefront of Detroit’s lace-you-with-fly-shit, sneaker-and street-culture outfitters. Carrying 10.Deep, Crooks & Castles, Leroy Jenkins, Kid Robot and all the goods, Rick and Ro also sell their own designs and have begun a complete line expected to be out this fall. Fitteds and tees sporting the Burn Rubber Chef logo move quickly and have proven to be bestsellers. Local legends such as Slum Village and Black Milk can be found perusing the product regularly, and guests can wind up at in-store album listening parties or embroiled in impromptu debates about hipster-hop or how to rock a 59fifty. Go to Burn Rubber for the nasty spread of limited-edition swagger; stay for the familial atmosphere Rick and Ro have created.
