FLY is a skate shop that neighbors Vans. It's a must-visit for any skateboarder passing through Shanghai. It's been around since before skaters were really a thing in Shanghai. The story: A skater named Jeff Han who used to work for a milk company opened Shanghai's first skate shop way back in 1999. Though he never turned pro, a lot of skaters in his clique did, and you'll still find sponsored skaters hanging out here today. You can find brands like Nike SB, Vans, Adidas skateboarding, Palace, Polar Skate Co, Evisen, and more, and FLY itself has collaborated with Nike SB, Jansport, and Vans. They also stock decks, wheels, bearings, completes, and FLY's own line of boards and clothing. The history and community makes this place really special, and their staff are really chill and down to earth. Sometimes FLY hosts events like photo exhibitions, and they serve coffee and beer.
