What to know about Foosh
Foosh is an Edmonton sneaker and streetwear retailer founded in 1999 by Justin Der and Rob Clarke, starting as a small t-shirt and record operation above the Whyte Avenue skate shop Plush before converting fully to apparel and footwear as vinyl demand fell. The Whyte Avenue store still anchors the business, and a second, smaller shop opened in downtown Edmonton in December 2024. Buying centres on sneakers and skate-rooted labels including Nike, adidas, Vans and Stussy, plus accessories and independent brands.
