Don't need nothin' fancy... just looking to get some sneaks (Adidas 'Roma' or 'Italia' style, I think they are... got them in Thailand and can't find them anywhere here.

Also need one of those nice-looking/dressy but not expensive/rip-off coats. I'm 6'4.

I hear Dongdaemun... anyone??

I recommend Big Sister (store name) in Itaewon.

Thanks, but I just walked all over Itaewon and couldn't find quite what I was looking for. Kinda... how shall I say it... ghetto...??

I think all the stores get the same kicks. Could only find certain types of Adidas and the like.

Might want to try one of the many Adidas shops around.

Yeah, I tried a few today... didn't have anything I wanted.

About Dongdaemun... how's the coat selection? Any decent looking winter coats for a hundred or two hundred thou?

You could also try Namdaemun market. I bought 2 leather jackets there and they were great quality and fitting. The dealers here have a good selection of sizes of any jacket you want (like a retail store).

Whereas, Dongdaemun, I find, is more like a flea market with odds and ends. They're cheaper, but the chances of you finding what you want are lower.
