Kelowna Streetwear & Shoe Store: Todd Danielsâ Story and the Rise of a Curated Boutique
The Story Behind Gallery Streetwear
The story starts in Kelowna.
I grew up in Kelowna and graduated from Okanagan Mission Secondary (OKM). I was an avid skateboarder and later a professional snowboarder who lived all over Europe, New Zealand, the United States, and Whistler chasing the lifestyle I loved.
Before streetwear even had a name, I was already living it â skating every spare minute, riding at Big White Ski Resort, and searching for product that felt authentic.
I rode for Island Snowâs first skateboard and snowboard teams, which gave me a front-row seat to real shop culture: tight crews, independent stores, and the excitement of discovering something special.

Roots in Skateboarding and Snowboarding Culture
Those early years turned into decades working in skateboarding, snowboarding, and streetwear.
In Kelowna I worked in, managed, and helped start Deviate Board Shop and One Boardshop. Living and traveling abroad shaped my perspective on what a great shop should be.
Boutiques in Europe, New Zealand, the United States, and Whistler all shared something important:
They were personal.
They were curated.
They were built around community.
That philosophy became the blueprint for Gallery Streetwear.
Customers interested in global skate brands can explore the Streetwear Collection.
Why I Opened Gallery Streetwear
Gallery Streetwear is my passion project turned full-time mission.
After more than 35 years immersed in skateboarding and street culture, I wanted to create a true Tier-1 boutique experience in downtown Kelowna.
Not a mall version of streetwear.
A real one.
Gallery focuses on clothing, footwear, and accessories with meaning behind them â brands connected to skateboarding, creativity, and global culture.

A Kelowna Boutique with Real Service
Gallery Streetwear is a small, independent Canadian-owned business.
That means the experience is personal.
In-store, we help with sizing, styling, and product knowledge that only comes from decades in the culture. Online at gallerystreetwear.ca we focus on clear product descriptions, curated collections, and fast shipping across Canada.
The goal is simple: make discovering great clothing and shoes easy.
Community and Culture
Gallery Streetwear exists because of the community that raised us.
Skateboarding, snowboarding, art, music, and creativity across the Okanagan are the foundation of everything we do.
From Go Skateboarding Day to pop-ups and collaborations with local creatives, Gallery is more than a retail store.
If youâve pushed down Bernard Avenue on a skateboard or carved turns at Big White, you already understand the culture behind this shop.
