Jugar Pop Up Shop

Jugar is one of those sneaky brands. While technically they are an established locally designed line, they maintain a low profile in town while making big waves in Europe with their sporty stylish menswear. But, in a rare occurrence, the brand is making a two-day appearance in town with an all Jugar pop up shop at The Cleaners. The line, designed by two Nike veterans, takes inspirations from the athletic world, while still pushing fashion. Take advantage of perhaps the only chance to snag a piece of this line in person before it goes underground again.
