In honour of Women’s History Month, Complex Canada partnered with Makeway, Canada’s only standalone “for women, by women” sneaker and streetwear boutique, to highlight some of the country’s lesser-known female sneaker lovers.  Since Makeway’s opening last November, the women’s sneaker community has and will always be at the heart of the shop’s “why.” And while we’re beginning […]
