From the editor
Sole Classics is my favorite store in the Short North because of its diverse sneaker selection. This week is the Monster Sale Week, so I definitely recommend checking out these deals, but be warned: All sales are final, and you don’t know what shoes you’re getting in the mystery box until after you purchase them.
