Essential Toronto is a consignment store with two locations – downtown and North York. They offer most of the brands you would expect from a streetwear focused-store including Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Yeezy, Supreme, and more.

The store itself is quite cramped with limited walking space, however, they still get the job done of showcasing all their sneakers and apparel. Despite their size, you will still find hidden gems here like NIKE KOBE 6 PROTRO GRINCH (2020) which goes for CA $850. And things can get even more pricey when you check out their exclusive collectibles like the BEARBRICK X XLARGE X HAJIME SORAYAMA 1000% SILVER which is currently being sold for CA $6,300.

Essential is definitely a go-to place in Toronto when looking for items that are more rare and exclusive.
