Uprise Skateboard Shop
What makes Wicker Park’s Uprise so great is its staggering authenticity—a shop built for skaters, by skaters. The down-to-earth staff feels more like your older brother’s friends than store clerks, and the space itself offers more than 200 different types of boards, as well as shoes and other necessary skating attire.
