Montreal’s sneaker scene connects skate videos, technical running gear, and the pleasure of talking shoes over coffee. Dime grew out of a local skate collective; Ciele brings running equipment and community together at its home-city flagship. Livestock, Felix, and independent specialists add very different reasons to explore beyond the mall.
The 16 shops below include 12 within Montreal, one in Westmount, and three in Mirabel. Westmount is a separate municipality on Montreal island; the Mirabel outlets require a separate journey. Choose a few stores around your interests rather than treating every address as one shopping circuit.
Group the stops by area and interest
Dime on Boulevard Saint-Laurent and Livestock on Rue Clark make a strong skate-and-streetwear pairing. They are in different parts of the Plateau/Mile End area, so allow travel time between them rather than assuming they are next-door neighbors.
Felix in Old Montreal and Ciele in Griffintown form another possible pairing, with coffee and running gear as different starting points. Use each complete address in the STM journey planner to choose your connection.
Opening days can change the route more than distance. TAG closes Saturdays. Dime’s Sunday hours are noon–5 p.m., while Livestock opens 11 a.m.–7 p.m. daily. Kulture Klash takes Monday visits by appointment only.
Four stops that reveal different sides of the scene
Dime Montréal
Dime’s roots are in skating, not simply skate-inspired clothing. The McCord Stewart Museum’s history traces the collective to 2005, its first T-shirt to 2012, a full clothing line to 2014, and the Saint-Laurent shop to 2017. Its videos and the Glory Challenge, first held in 2015, explain the humor and community behind the label.
The current shop site includes footwear and a full skate assortment of boards, wheels, trucks, and bearings alongside Dime clothing. If you mainly know the brand through collaborations, our guide to Nike SB and skate culture provides useful background on the wider scene. The Glory Challenge history above is not an announcement of an upcoming event.
Address: 3632 boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montréal, Québec H2X 2V4, Canada
Hours: Monday–Wednesday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.; Thursday–Friday, 11 a.m.–7 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m.; Sunday, noon–5 p.m.
Dime Montreal location and hours.
Livestock Montréal
Livestock bridges sneakers, outdoor clothing, and streetwear. Its wider catalog places Salomon footwear and Timberland classics alongside Arc’teryx and Carhartt WIP. That makes the Rue Clark store a useful counterpart to Dime: one visit centers on a Montreal skate label, the other on a multibrand selection.
Address: 5417 rue Clark, Montréal, Québec H2T 2V3, Canada
Hours: Daily, 11 a.m.–7 p.m.
Livestock Montreal store page.
espace | MTL · Ciele Athletics
Ciele’s espace | MTL puts its technical caps and clothing alongside a selected range of other brands’ running footwear. The flagship also has an adjoining community space for running-related gatherings. Staff guidance and the broader equipment selection make it more than a cap-only destination; consult the current calendar for any event you want to join.
For context on how performance footwear entered everyday sneaker culture, see our ASICS guide.
Address: 1630 rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, Québec H3J 1M1, Canada
Hours: Monday, 10 a.m.–6:30 p.m.; Tuesday–Wednesday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; Thursday–Friday, 10 a.m.–7 p.m.; Saturday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
Felix Boutique
Felix pairs collectible sneakers with an espresso bar in Old Montreal. Founder Francesco Abbruzzo built the concept from his experience buying, selling, and trading shoes. The boutique also makes its own merchandise in Montreal, giving the coffee-and-sneaker visit a local element beyond the footwear brands it carries.
Felix says its sneakers are new, though some may have been tried on in the shop. Its English FAQ states that sales are final, while the French version specifically describes online products. Confirm the terms for an in-store purchase before paying; the wording does not establish one unambiguous policy for every channel.
Address: 205 rue Saint-Paul Ouest, Montréal, Québec H2Y 2A1, Canada
Hours: Daily, 10 a.m.–7 p.m.

New Balance Sainte-Catherine Street
New Balance Sainte-Catherine has a concrete service advantage: its branch page lists a 3D foot scanner, online-order pickup, and web returns. The return offer is for items in new condition within the window set by New Balance’s current return policy. Mirabel’s page does not list the same scanner or pickup services.
Hours are Monday–Wednesday, 10 a.m.–7 p.m.; Thursday–Friday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; Sunday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m. The scanner is a retail fit tool, not a medical assessment; price and booking requirements are not specified.

Nike Factory Store Montréal: Marché Central
The Marché Central Nike Factory Store offers Nike Experts advice and advertises a 60-day trial with receiptless returns for members. Ask which purchase qualifies before relying on that benefit; it does not by itself establish acceptance of every online order.
Hours are Monday–Wednesday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; Thursday–Friday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; Saturday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
Address: 1007-B6 Rue du Marché Central, Montréal, QC H4N 1J8. Nike Marché Central services and hours.

Address: 19001 Chemin Notre-Dame, Unit 651, Mirabel, QC J7J 0T1. adidas Outlet Mirabel.
Before choosing a pair
For a central brand-store route, group Sainte-Catherine’s adidas, New Balance, Nike Eaton, and TAG, accounting for TAG’s Saturday closure. Skate interests point toward Dime and LOPEZ; running brings Ciele, Courir, and TAG into consideration. Keep Marché Central, Westmount, and Mirabel as separate route decisions.
Budget in Canadian dollars. The CRA’s Quebec rate table lists 5% GST and 9.975% provincial sales tax for ordinary taxable purchases: a CAD $200 purchase would total CAD $229.95. This is Quebec’s general rate, not Ontario’s HST, and product-specific exceptions can apply. Keep the receipt and confirm the terms for the channel you buy through.
Frequently asked questions
- Which shop has the clearest connection to Montreal skate culture?
- Dime began as a Montreal skate collective in 2005. Its current shop offers Dime clothing and a skate assortment at 3632 Boulevard Saint-Laurent. LOPEZ adds a different multibrand skate perspective on Rue Saint-Hubert.
- Does Ciele sell running shoes as well as caps?
- Yes. The espace | MTL page confirms footwear from other brands alongside Ciele’s technical clothing and headwear. It also describes a running-community space; check the current calendar for any gathering.
- Can I pick up or return a New Balance online order downtown?
- The Sainte-Catherine branch explicitly lists online pickup and returns of items in new condition within the window set by New Balance’s current return policy. Mirabel’s page does not list pickup; eligible returns follow New Balance Canada’s policy, which includes Factory Stores.
- Is Premium Outlets Montréal actually in Montreal?
- No. It is in Mirabel at 19001 Chemin Notre-Dame. New Balance is in suite 654, Nike in unit 500, and adidas in unit 651. Westmount is also a separate municipality, but it is on Montreal island. Both distinctions matter when planning travel.
Build a route with Montreal character
For two local retail identities, compare Dime’s skate clothing and hardware with Felix’s own merchandise and collectible-sneaker café. Choose Ciele when technical running gear is the priority, or Livestock for the crossover between outdoor clothing and streetwear. If fit within New Balance matters most, its Sainte-Catherine scanner is a stronger reason to stay downtown than assuming the Mirabel outlet provides the same service.
Before visiting: Some photos are archival and their dates are unconfirmed; interiors and stock may have changed. Check the current address, hours, and availability of any pair you want.
