Leaders has stood at the epicenter of Chicago’s streetwear, hip-hop, and creative scenes since it opened in 2002. Not only does the store carry the latest sneakers, but its branded apparel makes it a one-stop shop for a complete fit. Beyond the sneakers and gear, owner Corey Gilkey has long mentored creatives in the city, many of whom got their start working on the store’s retail floor. Pay homage by spending a few dollars to make sure he and Leaders stick around to teach future generations.
