Vintage 1970s Nike Sweatshorts — Mello and Sons
Mello and Sons is the vintage store that feels like home. Better than a real home, even, because at this one you can walk out with what’s inside, the rugs, dressers, clothes all available to buy. There are stacks of cushy sweatshirts for sale on nearly every table, old books, blankets, vinyl spinning (Otis Redding! Bob Marley!), incense burning. Like a home, it also holds a family–mom, dad, and 2 little boys–who own and operate the shop. Cyd and Neal opened up Mello and Sons a year ago on Butler Street in Lawrenceville and filled it with thrifted Americana they’d find on close knit road trips in their camper van: old Levi’s 501s, suits made for surfing, hoodies worm and faded. It’s grown fuller and cozier every year, exactly as a healthy home should.
