Streetwear brand Paper Planes has opened its first permanent brick-and-mortar store in New York’s SoHo. Co-founded by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, the brand first entered the physical space in August with a pop-up that operated in the Hamptons.

The new store, at 252 Lafayette St., features a black-and-white facade with a light and airy interior. It allows customers to shop for future season collections before their online debut. For example, the Paper Planes Holiday 2023 Collection will be available only at the retail store for the month prior to its digital launch.

In-store exclusives will also include new iterations of the Paper Planes Fine Artist Collaboration series, the first of which debuted with artist Jammie Holmes; recording artist collaborations and album signing events; the NFL x Paper Planes exclusive products and more.

In addition to Carter, the brand’s leadership includes Emory Jones (Co-Founder/CMO), Ronnie DeMichael (President) and Just C (Creative Director).
