FINESSE

Melbourne Opened 6 March 2025

Women's sneaker store, Australian exclusives, on Gertrude Street

Sneakers cut and stocked specifically for women, from Nike, New Balance and ASICS through to releases that land in Australia only here. Finesse is back on the strip it started on, run by Murata Prajumas with a premise this narrow on purpose.

The fit-out with Boom Studios goes almost entirely monochrome, hard futuristic furniture that leaves the shoes as the only colour in the room. Stock turns fast in this small space, so what's on the wall Tuesday is often gone by Saturday. Staff know the sizing quirks brand by brand, useful since half the range was originally cut on a men's last.

Good to know

• Some drops are Australian exclusives to this store and don't reach the chains.
• Doors open at 11am; it's shut Sundays and Mondays.
