From time to time I get some e-mails regarding the magazines I post. And a lot of them ask where I buy them. So here is the answer:
I buy some magazines online or I even get some magazines in local stores. But most of my magazines are from Soda.
Soda is a magazine/book store in the middle of Munich (Glockenbachviertel). Think of any magazine you want… Soda has it. The number of magazines they offer is incredible and they are always up to date, so you can be sure to grab the latest issue of anything you want there. Oyster Magazine, Dapper Dan, L’Officiel Hommes, Dazed&Confused, The Gentlewoman, Voque (all languages) or Sneaker Freaker to name a few, Soda has them and also for a reasonable price regarding that some magazines come from Japan etc. Every time I’m in Munich I visit Soda, and I always walk out with a bunch of magazines and some books. Oh books! They also carry books. From Art, Font or Photography books you have a large variety of different books. What store do you know that has some KAWS books laying around or over 15 different logo books for inspirational purpose?
Its easy to stroll around this awesome store for more then a hour. The service is always superb, because the staff love what they do and they have a huge knowledge to help you with any kind of question about magazines and books. Always some nice tunes coming out of the Bose sound-system but not too loud thou!
I think this is the only store in the world where you can forget about your daily struggle and dive into a world of nice print magazines about stuff you love. Every time the shop assistant is handing out my shopping bag I close the door behind me, knowing it wont take long that I’ll come back.
