There's a new temple in town for Winnipeggers who worship at the altar of high-end, collectible footwear.
The Collab Shop, at 68 Albert St. in the Exchange District, opened its doors Saturday.
CBC videographer Jaison Empson spoke to co-owner Rodney Francisco and some customers who were blown away by the store's array of colourful sneakers, including a pair of Air Jordan 1 Trophy Rooms, carrying a price tag of $5,500.
