What to know about Fast Times Melbourne
A skate shop first, label second
Fast Times sells boards, hardware, footwear and other brands' streetwear; its own tees, hoodies, caps and decks sit alongside that stock rather than replacing it.
Owned by Zumiez since 2016
US chain Zumiez bought the business outright for around US$6.9 million and runs it as its Australian arm, so it operates as a mall retail network, not an indie one-off.
Basics priced for skaters
The in-house line stays in cheap-to-mid territory and sticks to graphic tees, hoodies and caps, with limited releases and collaborations for the harder-to-find pieces.
