In the Hip-Hop world San Diego and The Armory are synonymous.

The shop which has a small store front also runs a wholesale business promoting both it’s Armory Survival Gear and quality brands Acrylick, Serye, Dyseone Clothing, Dissizit, Quality Control, UndrCrwn, and Conart. So, shoppers, ask Damon “KING D” Murakami or CROS1 if they have your size in stock if you don’t see it on the racks.

The Armory also sells paints and markers. It’s got a great rep for this, awesome selection and quality. The owner and store manager have credentials, and you will usually encounter local and national (and international) BBoys, rappers, DJ’s, and artists hanging about the shop. It is all pretty chill. I’ll be heading back soon for a couple of T’s.

Owner CROS1 brings us the world famous Free Style Sessions now in it’s 13th year.
