Gallery Streetwear Canada – From Kelowna’s Best Shoe Store to a National Shoe Destination

When most people picture “Kelowna shoe stores,” they think of chain stores at the mall. Gallery Streetwear Canada was built to be different.
We’re an independent shoe and sneaker shop in downtown Kelowna that hand-selects every model on our wall. What started as a small streetwear boutique has grown into one of the most recognized independent footwear destinations in the Okanagan and beyond.

Our customers come from across British Columbia, Alberta, and the rest of Canada looking for sneakers that stand out: not hype releases for resale, but timeless, functional shoes that feel great and look better with every wear.

Below is a look at the footwear brands that define who we are and why they matter to both our local and national audience.


New Balance – Everyday Icons with Heritage

Few companies balance comfort and craft like New Balance. Their sneakers, from the 550 and 574 to the 9060, 2002R and 1906R, have become essential for people who want something clean, comfortable and versatile.
We carry a rotation of New Balance classics and new designs that work just as well in downtown Kelowna as they do in Toronto or Vancouver. Every pair reflects over a century of thoughtful design and proudly sits at the heart of our wall.


On Running – Swiss Engineering Meets City Style

On Running has quickly moved from performance footwear to everyday favourite. Born in Switzerland, the brand’s CloudTec cushioning makes models like the Cloudmonster, Cloudnova, Cloudtilt and The Roger Clubhouse some of the most comfortable sneakers on the market.
For our customers who live active lives around the lake, mountains or city streets, On Running shoes have become a staple across BC and Canada.


Saucony – Classic Runners with Real Character

Saucony’s history in performance running spans more than 120 years. The shapes and colourways of models such as the Progrid Omni 9 capture a vintage look that pairs easily with modern outfits.
They’re perfect for anyone who wants comfort and retro style without following trends—a fit for Kelowna’s relaxed energy and Canada’s love of practical sneakers.


Adidas – Timeless Three-Stripe Style

Adidas is woven into global sneaker culture. At Gallery Streetwear, we focus on heritage silhouettes—Samba OG, Handball Spezial, Superstar—that never go out of style.
These shoes bridge the gap between generations and between continents, connecting the Okanagan’s laid-back lifestyle with the world’s streetwear capitals.


Clarks Originals – The Smarter Side of Casual

Clarks Originals give sneaker fans something refined. The Wallabee and Desert Boot remain go-to choices for anyone wanting a little polish without sacrificing comfort.
They suit life in Kelowna perfectly—casual enough for the boardwalk, sharp enough for a night downtown.


Last Resort AB – Honest Skate Shoes

Last Resort AB is a Swedish-born, skater-owned brand that keeps things minimal: clean suede uppers, strong soles and zero flash.
We stock them because they represent the same independence that drives our shop. For local skaters and anyone who appreciates quiet quality, these are hard to beat.


Why We’re Different

Gallery Streetwear Canada isn’t chasing every release or trend. We choose footwear we believe in—pairs that work day-to-day, made by brands with real heritage and community roots.

Being based in downtown Kelowna keeps us close to our customers: locals who want something fresh, travelers exploring the Okanagan, and sneaker fans who make the trip from Vancouver, Calgary or further. But through our online store, we also serve loyal customers from coast to coast—from Victoria to Halifax—who want to buy from a real Canadian shoe store that still cares about curation and service.

We may be small, but we think carefully like the best boutiques in Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver. That’s how a local Kelowna shop grew into a name sneaker lovers across Canada now recognize.
