Expressions Shoes

You don't have to be on the ground for long in Boston before realizing that the city's got a history with Adidas. According to legend, it's been that way ever since the 1980s, when Dorchester gangs unofficially re-named Intervale Park "Adidas Park," and decorated their now legendary "Adidas Tree" with other brand kicks that they pried off anyone who dared walk past their turf. Though not as violent as the affiliation used to be, Boston hip-hop fans still throw their "three stripes" hand signal (pinky, ring, and middle fingers) at every opportunity. And while there are dozens of stores where you can get the gear itself, insiders know that EXPRESSIONS SHOES, way out in Hyde Park, is the chain's last stop for dramatically discounted Top Tens and Shell Toes.
