    CHEAPEST Chuck Taylor's/AllStars/Converse (and variety different than their other stores) is this one, the corner stores. If you don't find the style you want, check the OTHER Al-Shoaibi stores

    A very much delayed renovation of an amazing heritage area. When completed, will be truly fascinating. Even now, with work in progress, great...
