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.

Good place to shop at buy sell and trade have a great selection of items never know what you will want just it’s priced and their are steals if you actually shop

Awsome experience and super friendly staff great prices on some rare and hard to find goods

I heard that they are very welcoming and cool people, i have yet to shop there, but i will be very soon!

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!

Super friendly staff, had what I needed in my size, great selection, and best prices!

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!

Purchased a shirt for 150.00 1 week after i had tag and receipt. They only wanted to refund 80.00...🤔..never will be back there. I kept shirt and will keep any other money 💰 i thought I might spend.

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.

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:))

There is no store like former vintage when it comes to urban street wear. They have it all And Jordan always greets me with a smile and a new happy each day. Great people with a great business

Always have great prices and the best employees. Highly recommend this store if your into the street culture. They also give good and reasonable offers for stuff you are trying to sell.

Great customer service, all of the employees are nice and helpful. Copped some Jordans for a great price. Definitely going to go back and get more things!

Great store. Owner is really geniue and actually cares about his customers. I was short 10 bucks on an item and he waved it and I could tell he really enjoyed people just in his store that support him. Overall excellent staff and great place. I recommend 10/10

Great selection and prices, always walk out with something clean. They pay well if you sell to them, the store is clean and it has a good atmosphere. The owner and all of the employees are nice, helpful, and knowledgeable of the products for sale. Best store of its kind in the metro Detroit area.

Owner is down to earth and very passionate. Store is sick and always has good options. Highly recommend stopping in if you are in the Detroit metro area.

Amazing Store, Amazing Customer Service, Amazing Selection, Great Deals, Amazing Store Overall, so much fun to go there. Everybody go Show Former Vintage Love and Support. Youll walk out of there with a Smile on your Face. Shout-Out To Jordan, Hes the Man.

Great place for Jordans,vintage wear, etc

Always have the best steals with the best inventory.

Awesome place! Super nice staff, great products, and an all around good place. Definitely recommend coming here!

Staff is very friendly and helpful, broad and unique selection of beautiful pieces from different eras, recommend taking a look at their instagram before visiting but there’s usually something for everyone there. Love the store and visit frequently 💜

Great local place to shop I got plenty of jerseys shoes and supreme here. Would recommend it everybody i know

Great products and awesome prices. I don’t see anyone doing it better. 5 stars

Former Vintage is a great store, there is so much to find there. The store has a new and vintage feel to it and I really enjoy going there and recommend this store to anyone looking for dope clothes, shoes, and accessories.

This place is awesome! It’s an excellent environment and they sell great stuff. The staff are also incredible people!

Love this store so much!! I have to stop by any & every time I’m in the Downtown Royal Oak Area. ABU, Domincan Joe & Jordan are so cool & funny! It’s always a good with those guys 💞

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

Best store ever. Great deals Hypebeast and vintage stuff cheap great place that definitely deserves to have more credit

Very cool store with awesome hype and vintage items. Always music playing and a great vibe.

Great inventory full of retro clothing that cannot be found anywhere else. one of the only stores that contains a high number of jordan retro shoes. highly Recommended.

Great customer service Jordan and abu are great and work well as a team. I’ve got me and my fiancé plenty of items new and used from them and all of the items are real and rarely have anything wrong with them. Shout to my boys at former vintage

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

Great place to buy and sell supreme or vintage clothing. Great people and great vibes all around.

Nice place and people know what your stuff is worth. Has a nice inventory full of a mix of hyped and vintage clothes.

The best place that I have found in Metro Detroit for affordable sneaker deals. The inventory is constantly changing, and I always look forward to coming here every month or two.

Definitely a great store, many varieties of options and great prices also can sell and trade so definitely a 5. Would mostly recommend, everything is authentic!

This place is so dope. This is my favorite place to shop! So many dope shoes and clothes for a really good price. There is nowhere else in the Metro Area like this

The staff have great customer service , everyday the store is getting new items in.. and always showing appreciation too loyal customers !

Amazing place to hangout, and find authentic products for a great price! Owner and employees are all awesome and are easy to talk to.

Great store with great prices, as well as a variety of clothes/shoes. An easy 5 stars!

Lots of amazing clothes I can get without having to travel far or order.

By far the best customer service in royal oak. They have great deals!

Great service and selection. Prices are good too.

Amazing products at low prices and great customer service. I would recommend this shop to anyone in town

They have a whole show case and don’t sell it wow I wanted to buy supreme accessories but no they are in a show case

Always have fire prices/pieces and steals! Definitely recommend to anyone interested in sneakers, and vintage streetwear/streetwear in general. Follow them on instagram too!@formervintageroyaloak@formervintageannarbor

Amazing store! Great staff and great items.

GREAT PLACE! ALWAYS CASHING ME OUT AND SELLING ME 🔥! RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!

Very good store with great cloths also the people are very nice and helping.

Do t really like the owner jordan. Hes a snob, not friendly and acts stuck up. Wont be patronizing them anymore there are too many better priced and atmosphere shops in royal oak

I really appreciate Former bringing the cutler to Royal Oak. They always have good items Definitely recommend this store.👍👍

Great store and nice workers I like it better when there focused on hype not on vintage but its up to jordan (store owner) what he puts out

Great place for resellers and hype streetwear. New stuff daily, check the insta. It is very recent and hype with Great prices.

Hands Down best store to go cop good deal on dope vintage and street wear

Love this place! This place has the coolest sneakers and streetwear around!

My Favorite Store. Great People, Great Items, Great Prices‼️Can’t Beat it. Former Is The Way✅

Great service and awesome prices! Highly recommend

Great place to recycle Retro Jordans and get your SUPREME gear!

Dude is legit, the actual owner of the business runs the place so you know you are getting good information. Check out his accessory game 🔥🔥

Has tons of supreme, bape, off-white, and vintage. Anything hypebeast you would ever need

Very nice store with nice staff and a variety of clothes almost anyone will like

This place is a joke. I’ve been here four times and have never been able to make a transaction because they’ve never had money in their registers. I’ve never seen anything this unprofessional - the kids running it are a pathetic.

Always have amazing stock, new shoes and clothes coming in all the time for great prices

I love this shop the people are polite and they are very helpful

Coolest store I’ve ever been in, low prices, good variety of stuff

Best store in Michigan for supreme bape vintage and shoes they always have good prices and don’t lowball you when you sell them stuff staff is great and the owner always helps out they have crazy random giveaways I once won some yeezys just because I was in the store at the right time

Always got cool clothing and super helpful staff. Would recommend this shop to any hypebeast/fashion junkie !!!

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.

One of my favorite stores to go to personally, they always have new stuff and this is definitely a stand alone store

The only store of this nature in Detroit with fair pricing, there are other vintage stores but the curation of other products is second to none.

Too die for prices if you want supreme bape etc come here they got it all

Came here to buy clothes for reselling came out with 5000 in clothes, come time to sell them i hear from a buyer that all of the clothes were fake (which I didn’t believe) tried another buyer got the same result then tried to bring the clothes back and was told it was my fault for not noticing

Good prices and great people. Always have something you would be looking for.

Best place for street wear ,vintage , sneakers,And accessories in all of Michigan great prices if you want to sell and great prices for everything also very good customer service and very nice people in general you should all go there if you are trying to get streetwear on a budget :)

Formervintage is such an awesome store the employees are nice and helpful. They have tons of vintage and hype beast clothes for cheap.

Great place to get legit shoes , clothing items and more

Overpriced. Tried to undercut me with shoes. Not a good experience. Very limited selection.

Vintage. Always a dope thing to stop in and at least take a peak at. Nice spot, cool peoples

Best streeetware sneakers and about everything else including customer service.

Everyone who works there is cool and they have cool stuff

Do you guys buy shoes because I have a Size 9.5 sesame yeezys DS and I would ask for $350

Amazing store the pricing is great and they are professional

Great people low prices good selection!!!

Weird hours but they are nice. thanks for the help.

Great staff, nice selection of cool vintage and hype

Best hypewear/streetwear and vintage store in Michigan

Way overpriced. You can get way better prices on grailed and they buy fake stuff, theyre not good about legit checking stuff people sell them.

Totally worth 2 hours out to drive to, the best streetwear plug around!

Good customer service and fair prices

This place was awesome had so many items for a resonable price

Been here many times and always walk out with something. Jordan and the crew always show love when it comes to prices so don’t get steered away by the bad reviews they alway negotiate!

Such great service, such great deals, definitely recommend

Gives very good steals & has a great store layout!
