One of the few places around here. Prices are odd, sometimes they have great deals, other times they are way over market. The workers and owner seem grounded. Ive bought and traded here and overall the experience is good, not great. The store could be better organized, but I think a larger space would do them wonders. A collection of new, used, vintage, streetware, sneakers. I wish there were more places like them around here.

Somebody owes me some gas...The store is closed until Friday.I know this because one of the stores on their block has the number.Google does not. No mention of changing hours on social media.Why give what looks like a well curated collection bad word of mouth from out of town can’t-be-your-customers?And on Friday it’s STILL not open...

Inventory was sub-par and capacity of sizes were low. I understand the people running store are young, but I’m younger than them and have 3x better business communications skills. Guy Checking me out didn’t make eye contact and was conversing with a guy 2 people behind me the whole time while I was at the register. Nevertheless, a good vibe in a scenic area just jaded customer service. They don’t fully value the Customer and his or her time. Hopefully in the future they should try to strive and treat customers (better/equal) whether they spend a $100 or a $1000 period.

99% of the 5 star reviews are paid for. There is no integrity in this business, and the frequent customers are just as bad. Anything for that hype beast clothing, even if someone else already wore it 😂

Not a great experience this weekend. I will not be returning or recommending this store anymore. I felt like I was tricked in to buying something damaged worst than they claimed and then they just ignored me instead of trying to make it right when I reached out about it.

Sold them a pair of union 4s, gave me a great deal involving both in store credit and cash. Great business ran by people who know what they’re talking about. Also great deals as well there with tons of stock, can’t wait for their Detroit pop up store to open up for December.

Former Vintage has an amazing curation of vintage clothing, streetwear and sneakers! The store is always stocked with new inventory of vintage jerseys, jackets, T-shirts, hats as well as streetwear brands such as Supreme, Bape, Vlone and Off-White! Jordan, Abu and Art are extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the vintage and streetwear clothing industry. This store is a must if you’re looking for the latest vintage trends or the hottest streetwear and sneakers!

I’ve known the owner for a long time and can’t say enough good things about him and his crew. He cares about his customers and their well-being all while putting that same love and passion into a storefront. Best vintage/thrift/resale store you’ll find that offers all his products at more than fair price. It’s amazing to see a young mans passion turn into a thriving business, that is exactly what Jordan has done over the years. I can’t wait to watch Former Vintage grow through the years.

Honestly always an amazing place to go shop for the latest trends or vintage wear, the environment is super friendly and chill and the staff is very knowledgeable and down to earth. Jordan’s the man and so is the rest of the staff. Keep up the good work! They play a huge part in keeping the culture upbeat and around in the area. This place deserves a million star review if I could give it one!

Best store around! Jordan (owner) is mad cool! Their always accepting stuff to buy and trade which is always a dope option. They always post new stuff on their social media, give out give aways all the time, and post some really good deals sometimes. Good stuff, good people! Always showing love to the Custos!

They have pretty fair prices. Not only that but the constantly do events and give away free things. For a store in metro Detroit, the stock is good and the prices are reasonable. They have new stock all the time which is an added bonus. Refreshing.

Review №17

Super helpful employees!! The best place to go if you want good deals on all the trendy street wear. If you’re looking for vintage they have some crazy T’s available that you won’t find anywhere else!! If you’re looking to sell to them they give a generous amount of store credit or you can choose cash:))

Review №34

I wish i could give the store 0 stars lmao they are WAY overpriced and have the worst selection of clothes. from what i read there was a discount if you gave a good review which is whack and frankly pathetic. i wouldnt trust most of the reviews due to fraudulence. also the fact that a bunch of the owner’s friends are giving out the 5 stars. yeah go support another small local business instead please lol

Review №39

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.... THE OWNER IS NEVER THERE. THEY SAY BUY SELL TRADE BUT THEY NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM ANYBODY. THEY HAD A REGGIE MILLER JERSEY PRICED AT $120 AND JORDAN #45 JERSEY PRICED AT 80 WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. THE BETTER YOUR ITEM THE LESS HE WANTS TO PAY YOU FOR IT. JUST A ROUND TWO KNOCKOFF THAT DOESNT HAVE THE PROPER VTG TO MATCH THE NAME. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE

Review №75

Oh boy not a fan at all.1. Asking customers to review your store for a discount is against googles review policy which for one thing is pretty sick.2. Kind of a poor vintage selection tbh I’d rather go to a value world or Salvation Army3. You know what’s creepy? Getting a dm from the owner of a store asking if your single when you gave them your Instagram under the pretense of getting a discount.4. -kinda hearsay so ya know don’t like take this part super seriously- apparently one of my friends bought what he thought were some Off White x Nike’s and turned out they were fake. According to a mutual friend the buyer was told by Former Vintage this was his fault. -Again hearsay-So like yeah I do not recommend. HOWEVER I recommend Loose Cannon Flagship in Ferndale so hard. I’m not writing cause they told me to or because they’re offering discounts. They are a quality place and are run by some super nice guys.
