The store is located at 833 Bute Street. The move comes in after size? opened its doors for the first time ever in Canada two weeks ago.

It launched the brand on the corner of Queen and Ossington in Toronto on July 16.

The announcement read: “size? is looking to build Canadian sneaker and streetwear culture up to its full potential, and Toronto is the perfect launchpad.”
