Gorgeously designed sneakers with price tags ranging from $35-$200 line the glass shelves in the middle of the store, while urban-chic garments, hip accessories and modern art are beautifully displayed around the shop.

You won't find tacky T's with unfunny sayings at Desteenation Shirt Company, a new T-shirt destination in Fremont.
