Brooklyn Projects

Dom ate my cat. Poor pussy. Poor pussy cat.

After having to play Rock Paper Scissors at Supreme for some dunks #truestory … I found BP when I searched best sneaker shops in Cali. My 1^st time at BP was for the Black Levi dunks. I showed up at opening waited in a reasonable line and they had my size. They do price mark ups sometimes but it’s to keep resellers out the line. I was helped by Monica, Henry, CJ, and Dom himself. It’s not everyday someone of Dom’s status is humble enough to go and get a new customer a box of shoes. Don’t go in there thinking you can go get that everyday though. BP is real if you go in there with a messed up attitude they will kick you out! It’s not about money it’s about respect. I have now been a loyal fan of BP brand for 3 years. I fell in love with the store brand shirts and customer service. I drive over 50 miles to get there and it’s worth it. The only reason I made a Unilocal is to thank them and stick up for their excellent customer service. And no they did not ask me to review them.

Been here a lot of times before this review so I know what I’m talking about. Came here for the 4^th edition of the Brooklyn Projects x Nike SB shoes. Met Dom after purchasing the shoe and shirt and asked him to sign the box. He ended up spelling my name wrong by a letter so he threw me a free collab. shirt on the house. Incredible man. The store is very clean and completely different from anything you see in the mall. Anytime I’m in the area I always make sure to stop by here. The staff is just as cool too. I don’t know why people complain about the staff, but when it comes down to it, it was just a poor tempered customer. Dope store. Been coming here for a while and I highly recommend the store to anyone interested in skateboarding or streetwear. You won’t be disappointed. Shout outs to Dom for a smooth release two years in a row. I promised I’d write a review of the shop after he hooked me up with a free tee. Thank you.

Stopped by a couple weeks ago looking for some janoski’s. Took awhile just to get someone to look for my size, came back just to tell me all they had were smaller sizes in stock. Was better off going straight to nike.

Took the hubby in and was fortunate to find everything we wanted, therefore a huge splurge was in order! Thanks Brooklyn P for have such a great selection of men’s street wear!

Dropped into the Brooklyn Projects on Melrose a few days ago. The store was nice and had a bunch of great gear but what really made my visit great was the excellent customer service. The guys working there did an awesome job of engaging with customers and I was glad that I stopped in and picked up a shirt.

I’ve been going to the Melrose district for years to shop and now more so because of all the new eateries. So just recently I stepped into Brooklyn Projects and I was blown away. The staff was super friendly and more than helpful. Even though it’s branded a skateboard shop, they have a great selection of girls clothing from various brands. I picked up a new jacket from the brand Obey and I’m so happy with it. CJ was the boy that helped me and he was so nice and funny. And store manager Monica added her personal thoughts to help me choose between another jacket I was looking at. They even offered me some cupcakes that another customer had dropped off for them. I declined to take one because it wasn’t my cheat day LOL. After my purchase I had the chance to meet the owner Dom. He is one charming person. Made me feel more comfortable than I already did. He also very cute :)
I will be going back there next week to see what new product came in and hopefully there will be cupcakes and maybe see Dom. LOL

Just stopped by Brooklyn Projects off Melrose and as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the friendliest person you’ll ever come upon, Monica greeted me with her warmth smile and right away offered to assist me. Monica is very knowledgeable and very helpful (goes the extra mile,). She really knows what shes doing at Brooklyn Projects,
Monica knows all the latest Nike SB and skate world stuff as in gear and skateboard sizes and whats trending. She even offered me to skate the mini ramp in the back, which you wont be able to experience at any other skateshop. She even made my gf feel so so comfortable inside the shop, very patient and friendly, great vibes
My Overall experience is a 10 out 10. Dom really hired NOTHING BUT THE BEST.
so if your ever on melrose make sure to stop by and ask for Monica. The store is amazing (Best SkateShop in the world) you wont be disappointed at all.

Monica ruined this boutique. I was getting some new gear with friends and I decided to bring them into the shop. This child, Monica gives us attitude, ignores us when we ALL asked for shoes (we ALL ended up getting sneakers at Sportie — yes, we are sneakerheads!), and then my friend got a shirt and hat and was charged for 2 hats when he only got 1. Like the other dude mentioned, she threw the reciept, totally disrespectful. Super unprofessional staff and tired collection of last years gear. RIP BP

Yo Dom fire the asian chick salesperson/​manager she gave me crazy attitude and bad vibes, no thank you and literally threw the receipt at me, after i dropped over $ 200!

First time visiting this place. Walked into a dope shop with a cool atmosphere. Didn’t mean to, but while waiting to checkout, I overheard a conversation about product questions between a worker and a customer. You could tell the workers were very sincere and actually cared for the customers. Good shop; good vibes.

Nice atmosphere when you first arrive but then I was underminded. Every thing changed the music stopped the manager or this female employe started haveing an attitude like she wanted me to get out so she could bumb the music and I put my things I was going to purchase back and left

For the Haiyan typhoon relief, Brooklyn Projects had a deal where everything was 50% off if you donated anything to the relief fund. My friend ended up purchasing a $ 120 Obey jacket for $ 60 just for bringing a large jug of water. There were a few models outside the store signing posters saying «Thanks for helping!»
PS I met Chris Brown because he’s friends with the owner or something.
A cool store with street fashion merchandise that backs up good causes.

I’m a sneaker head! BP has a great variety of Nike SB! Very friendly and very helpful staff! Don’t think twice to pay them a visit!

This place is great ! Sales staff is always nice. They get all the awesome new sb’s. What more can you ask for ! Defiantly worth a visit !

Dope store, right on the strip, melrose that’s is, got all the sb’s on deck. There own label stuff is dope as well. If your on melrose check it out and if your not head over there

The Bottom Line:
–Salespeople: friendly, approachable, receptive, and knowledgeable
–Store aesthetics: beautiful and organised
–Price: moderate and reasonable (If you’re new to boarding, you might feel a little hesitant handing them your cash/​card. But, I assure you, once you try your board, you’ll know it was worth every dollar!)
The Bucks:
–Antihero street deck + Thunder trucks = $ 135
–Soft wheels (for a cruiser feel) = $ 10
–Shock pads = $ 5
The Story:
As part of my summer-​before-​college bucket list, I promised myself I’d learn to ride a board to compensate for my inability to ride a bicycle. My neighbour happily gave me his used longboard, but as a short girl (I’m 5′ 3″) I found it difficult to do anything other than ride in a straight line. After scouring Unilocal,I decided to pay a visit to Brooklyn Projects. And boy, was it a wise decision.
As someone who doesn’t fit the skater mold, I thought I wouldn’t be taken seriously. Au contraire! Monica, who had been organising clothes, dropped what she was doing and showed me to the deck gallery. She asked me if I was looking for anything specific. «A board that I can use to get around campus.» It was pretty obvious that I’m just an amateur, but Monica patiently talked me through the process of choosing custom parts. After she let me step onto several decks and completes, I decided to purchase a street deck with a nice Dr. Seuss design and a set of soft wheels.
While Monica was working her magic, some customers came in. Another salesperson, Sid (I /​think/​that’s his name… sorry if I’m wrong!), offered to take over. He asked me about my skating history, and I shyly told him I hadn’t done much other than snowboarding and longboarding. I also pointed out I was deathly afraid of cracks in the sidewalk, to which he suggested buying shock pads for only $ 5. I agreed, and he kindly continued asking me questions about myself while he worked on my board.
After he was done, Sid had me stand on the newly assembled board in order to gauge how much to tighten the screws on the trucks. He graciously held out his hand for me to grab as I stepped on the board, giving me a few tips on how to balance myself (switching from a longboard to a skateboard isn’t difficult, but the two definitely feel different). After he tightened the trucks a little more, I stepped onto the board again. It immediately felt like my own little vehicle, custom-​made to reflect everything from my height to my design preference to my purpose of usage.
I thanked Monica and Sid and made my way home on my new board. It glides perfectly on both cement and asphalt, and when I make turns, I don’t feel like I’m about to fall off. I can’t wait to cruise around campus and the Bay Area in a month.
These guys and gals know what they’re doing and love what they’re doing. Whether you’re a casual or advanced boarder, I enthusiastically recommend Brooklyn Projects!

So I will admit this: This store has a GREAT selection of really cool merchandise and is pretty unique for the area its in.
BUT… the salesperson literally said «hey bro, can you not unfold those shirts to look at them? I don’t wanna have to fold them all over again» hahaha are you kidding me?
Hey salesperson… first of all, I’m not your «Bro» and second, I’m pretty sure that’s part of your job, and you knew what you signed up for.
I laughed, unfolded one more and walked out… haven’t been able to bring myself to go back since. There are too many similar options on fairfax where the employees are actually bearable.
Try Diamond Supply Co, The Hundreds, Supreme, Dope Couture, Flight Club and RVCA… there are just a few (much better) alternatives to this place.

Great vibes, and great product. One of the coolest boutique shops to shop around Melrose. I was introduced to Melrose Ave 4 years ago, and ever since, this was the area to go shopping and get my «swagger» on.
Brooklyn Projects recently opened their new location down the street from where they were before. This small little shop carries a wide variety of underground brands, and some may label «street wear». Many of the die hard skaters sport out brands like Loud and Obnoxious, 10 Deep, Hundreds, Civil, and many more. The brands in the store have been a continuous trend to people all around, and have been a booming success throughout the years. Brooklyn Projects is probably the most popular shop that carries more then just one particular brand and has always had great customer service. The fact that these workers have engaged in conversation with their customers, says a lot about management.

Shopping around Melrose, you notice that the workers there aren’t the friendliest in town. They don’t really welcome you or ask if you need help with anything maybe because the stores still survive without all that: P
Step into Brooklyn Projects – you’ll be welcomed, and introduced to what’s in the store, and what’s coming into the store soon (Nike SB collab with Brooklyn Projects, anyone?)
The worker there (I think his name was Jamal?) seemed like a really nice guy that noticed that I was sitting and waiting for my bf and pointed out where all the ladieswear was located. He also talked about a lot of the brands with my bf, so he just stood out a lot compared to the other store workers that we had encountered that day.
The interior is well-​decorated and clean. There’s enough merchandise in there (and a variety too) to have a lot to choose from, but it’s not suffocating or too empty like a lot of the boutiques.
Thanks for the great service – will be back again!
