Pasadena is more than Rose Parade floats and college football—it’s a city with a pulse, a style, and a culture that keeps evolving. For those who know, Pasadena has always been a hub for self-expression, and nowhere is that more visible than in its streetwear scene. From vintage resale gems to community-rooted brands, Pasadena offers something for every sneakerhead, trendsetter, and culture-builder.
If you’re looking for the best places to shop streetwear in Pasadena, here’s a guide to what’s out there—and why MADE IN DENA stands apart as the brand truly made for this city.
🔄 Resale Shops & Hidden Gems
Streetwear has always thrived on discovery—digging through racks and finding that piece nobody else has. In Pasadena, the resale culture is alive and well.
Buffalo Exchange (468 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena)Newly opened in 2025, Buffalo Exchange brings one of the biggest names in curated resale right to Old Town Pasadena. From designer labels to one-of-a-kind vintage, this spot is perfect for anyone trying to mix old school with today’s fits (Buffalo Exchange).
Vintage & ConsignmentPasadena is dotted with smaller shops that offer everything from retro jackets to classic sneakers. These hidden gems make the hunt half the fun.

🎶 Streetwear + Events
Streetwear doesn’t live on shelves—it lives in the streets. Pasadena events like ArtNight Pasadena (cityofpasadena.net) and music festivals at Brookside (Just Like Heaven, Cruel World) are prime spaces where fashion meets art, music, and community.
These events bring out the best looks from locals and provide opportunities for independent brands and pop-ups to shine.
