Taipei’s sneaker scene is closely tied to the people and labels shaping its streetwear. In Da’an, JUICE connects to CLOT, INVINCIBLE brings a collaboration-led multibrand selection, and Jay Chou and Ric’s PHANTACi adds a distinctly local creative story. Jordan 16 Songgao takes the route into Xinyi for a basketball-focused visit.
The four main stops below form a selected route rather than a citywide ranking. FRUITION is an optional fifth current destination on Anhe Road, discussed alongside its historical photographs. Its former Zhongxiao East Road location is not an additional shopping stop.
Four stores to build a route around
JUICE Taipei
JUICE is closely connected to CLOT’s East-meets-West approach to streetwear. Edison Chen and his team founded CLOT in 2003, with the first JUICE store introducing favorite labels from around the world. CLOT’s collaborations with Nike, Jordan, Converse, and other partners are part of that story, making JUICE particularly interesting if you follow the creative relationships behind sneakers.
The retailer’s wider selection brings footwear together with clothing and accessories, including CLOT and labels such as Salomon and Converse. Taipei opens Monday–Friday, 2–10 p.m., and Saturday–Sunday, 1:30–10 p.m., so it suits an afternoon shopping plan.
Address: No. 38, Lane 161, Section 1, Dunhua South Road, Da’an District, Taipei, Taiwan. JUICE Taipei location and hours.
INVINCIBLE East
Founded in 2007, INVINCIBLE has built its identity through collaborations, pop-ups, and exhibitions as well as its retail selection. Its mix includes ASICS, New Balance, HOKA, and Vans alongside Japanese clothing labels such as WTAPS and NEIGHBORHOOD. That gives it a strong connection between sneakers and a wider streetwear wardrobe.
The sneaker-wall photo is labeled as an earlier INVINCIBLE East interior, but its date and exact branch remain unconfirmed. For the visit itself, the retailer confirms the East branch at the address below, open daily, 2–10 p.m.
Address: No. 3, Alley 35, Lane 181, Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road, Da’an District, Taipei, Taiwan. INVINCIBLE East store details. Keep the lane and alley numbers when saving directions.
PHANTACi Taipei Flagship
Jay Chou and his friend Ric founded PHANTACi in 2006. The name draws on “Phantom” and “Fantasy,” reflecting a playful approach to fashion, pop culture, and personal style. It adds a Taipei-rooted label to a route that also includes larger international sports brands.
Its official collections span clothing, accessories, and collaborative projects with names such as Converse and Gundam. This is a reason to explore the label’s broader world, rather than approaching the store only as a reseller of other brands’ shoes.
Address: No. 27, Alley 35, Lane 181, Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road, Da’an District, Taipei. The PHANTACi locator distinguishes this flagship from Ximen and lists 2–10 p.m. hours, without a complete weekly schedule.
Jordan 16 Songgao
Jordan 16 Songgao puts Jordan and basketball culture at the center of the Xinyi visit. Coverage of its 2017 opening documents that early chapter. The white-and-gold display is associated with that opening, but the photograph itself is undated.
The current Nike branch page confirms the ground-floor Songgao Road location. For the background to the brand’s place in sneaker collecting, our Air Jordan 1 history is a useful companion to the visit.
Address: 1F, No. 16, Songgao Road, Xinyi District, Taipei 110, Taiwan. Hours are Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–9:30 p.m.; Friday–Sunday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m.
Jordan 16 Songgao: the Concord campaign archive
A December 2018 report documents an Air Jordan XI Concord campaign at Jordan 16 Songgao. The pictured telephone installation is associated with that campaign, although the photo itself is undated. This was a past event, not an activity available today.
Historical record: FRUITION in Taipei
FRUITION: former Zhongxiao East Road store
FRUITION’s former Zhongxiao East Road address was No. 6, Alley 35, Lane 181, Section 4, documented in POPBEE’s historical profile. This archive section is labeled for that earlier location, not the current Anhe Road store.
The visible Air Max Day material does not date the images. Do not use this old frontage to recognize the current store.
For a visit today, the FRUITION locator lists No. 16, Lane 21, Section 1, Anhe Road, Da’an District, Taipei, with daily hours of 2–10 p.m.
The current catalog includes ASICS, HOKA, New Balance, and Mardi Mercredi, carrying the store’s interest in sneakers into a wider fashion selection.
FRUITION: a women-focused selection, with no location assigned to the image
Founder Grace opened FRUITION in 2014 with women, mothers, and children in mind. A 2024 VERSE interview explains how the experience of shopping with a stroller helped shape the idea, and how the business expanded its focus from sneakers into clothing. That history gives FRUITION a different perspective from a store built mainly around collectible releases.
The separate FRUITION display below has no confirmed branch or capture date. It is not assigned to either the former Zhongxiao store or the current Anhe Road location.
Planning Da’an and Xinyi
INVINCIBLE and PHANTACi share Alley 35, Lane 181, Section 4 of Zhongxiao East Road, at numbers 3 and 27: save the complete address for each. They offer a useful contrast between a collaboration-led multibrand retailer and Jay Chou and Ric’s own label. Add JUICE for the CLOT connection, keeping its different Dunhua South Road lane in your directions. A weekday plan can start with Jordan 16 Songgao in Xinyi at 11 a.m., then move to Da’an after JUICE and INVINCIBLE open at 2 p.m. If you add FRUITION, use Anhe Road, not the archived Zhongxiao address. The collaborations discussed here explain the stores’ identities; they do not establish that those editions are available to buy.
Questions before sneaker shopping in Taipei
Which store should I prioritize? Choose JUICE for the CLOT connection, INVINCIBLE for multibrand sneakers and Japanese streetwear, PHANTACi for Jay Chou and Ric’s label, or Jordan 16 Songgao for a basketball-brand focus.
Can I start this route in the morning? Jordan 16 Songgao opens at 11 a.m. JUICE and INVINCIBLE are afternoon starts, with JUICE opening at 1:30 p.m. on weekends and 2 p.m. on weekdays. PHANTACi lists 2–10 p.m. hours but does not provide a complete weekly schedule.
Which FRUITION address should I use? The current locator gives No. 16, Lane 21, Section 1, Anhe Road, open daily, 2–10 p.m. No. 6 on the Zhongxiao East Road lane is the former address shown in the historical section.
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.
