IN4MATION CHINATOWN

This place is very clean and tidy. So much so that I didn’t want to touch anything. Anyways, came in here to look for a gift for my nephew. My nephews like Nike SB shoes and they wanted a specific type. This store was the only place that sold them on the island.
There seems to be a lot of hip and cool tshirts. I think this is the place, where all the cool emo, skateboarding, and hipster people go to. Tshirts are around $ 28 — $ 31 each. There are also socks with unusual one of a kind designs and board shorts sold for over $ 90. If you’re looking to spend mucho dinero for a high quality, one of a kind artsy item, then shop at in4mation.

The original store. Great unique prints and hats you see everyone and their moms rocking.

Late review… But I guess it’s better late than never.
Cute, small store. Really friendly staff who answered all of our questions no matter how silly it was. They do have somewhat limited stock, but I suppose that is to be expected since it is smaller than their other stores.
I would still come back if I were in the area. I mostly buy stuff from their online store.

Such a great store. Super high quality stuff curated by locals with good taste and good spirits. The line-​up is always creating courtesy of their super creative designers. Love the Aloha Army gear!

First time coming to this branch. A tiny bit smaller than the Pearlridge shop and possibly a tiny bit larger than the McCully one.
As always, good selection of their shirts and hats. Each store a little bit different of what’s in stock, so always good to check each one individually, especially on the sale items.
Friendly staff as always.
Cool and easy location within the area of other Chinatown locations I enjoy frequenting, so I will be back. Helps to walk the few blocks from the Pig and the Lady after a good meal.

Love love the different designs of floral snapbacks that come out almost every first of the month. Follow them on instagram to see pictures. This is the second time I’ve told my husband, «this will be the last one.» Can buy them online or in-​store. Just can’t get enough of their hats!

OG Skate /​Streetwear is what In4matiom is! Dope shop with awesome employees and customer service! T-​shirts are hilarious and graphics are on point!

In4mation has a very established branding with their «hi» logo shirts — but that doesn’t necessarily mean that their products should be selling themselves.
I walked into the store to the employee who was supposedly «working», talking on his cell phone on a personal call. The entire 5 minutes I was in the store (which is a long time considering how small the shop is), I was not acknowledged once — even upon my exit. I probably would have bought something, but the customer service was so poor I chose not to. Making purchases when the service is terrible just enables these kinds of businesses to tolerate their employees’ poor work habits.
I remember a couple years back when the customer service was great — but fast forward to current day: they could care less whether you purchase anything or not.
So 1 star: for employees not caring about their customers, and putting themselves first.

OMIYAGE Exhibit by Jared Yamanuha
One of my dream jobs is being paid to travel around the world, photograph various art exhibits/​installations then documenting my experiences on my blog. Honestly, pretending I already have this job is one reason, I love checking out art galleries. Art has the ability to articulate a message without saying a word, but great art captures your attention & awakens something deep inside of you.
I love that Jared chose to incorporate iconic Hawaii brands into his artwork, it was incredible to see a visual representation of how hard work & persistence pays off; Jared dedicated two years creating this collection of artwork. You have to view the «OMIYAGE» Exhbit up close & personal, in order to fully apprecaite the painstaking lengths Jared used to create precise designs into each photograph with an X-​ACTO knife.
My favorite part about the «OMIYAGE» Exhibit was leaving with a great appreciation for some of the brands that make Hawaii feel like home; my inner fat kid: Big Bertha, would cry if she had to ration Hawaiian Sun drinks or if I wasn’t able to enjoy Hurricane Popcorn while watching movies on Netflix. And a visit from my mainland cousins or friends isn’t complete without stopping by Liliha Bakery to inhale their buttery rolls with neon jelly & famous cocopuffs or shopping at Long’s Drugs to fill their suitcases with local goodies.
Thank you Jared for not giving up on your «OMIYAGE» Exhibit! Your collection helped me realize that I take for granted just how lucky I am to live in paradise, it’s easy to get caught up in the inflated prices & mind-​numbing traffic, but at the end of the day, I’m blessed to be surrounded by gorgeous beaches & delicious food.
If you missed the Opening Reception of Jared Yamanuha’s «OMIYAGE» Art Exhibit, stop by In4mation Chinatown for fresh to death apparel & art. Jared Yamanuha’s «OMIYAGE» Art Exhibit is open to the public from Tuesday (11.05.13) — Saturday (11.30.13).
Also if you’re planning to visit or live in the San Fransicso neighborhood, stop by The Museum of Craft & Design in February & March of next year to view 3 of Jared’s «OMIYAGE» pieces.

Went in a few days ago to get some tops for a friend. The employee, I believe his name was Steven, was attentive and extremely helpful. He helped me get the sizes I needed and was able to tell me which ones were newer designs. This shop is smaller than their Pearl Ridge location, it gave it a boutique feeling, like all the others clothing shops in Chinatown. Great wall art and hat display. I’ll definitely shop here again.

Went in yesterday to buy a pair of their hi denim. I was supper irritated that the employee:
1. Didn’t greet any of the customers as they walked in
2. Didn’t know the length of the denim they sold
3. Didn’t bother to offer to find out. He simply said, «I don’t know»
4. Didn’t know if customers had any problems with the size
5. Sounded like he could care less if I purchased an item from their establishment
6. Stayed behind the counter on the computer the entire time I was trying to get his help
7. Didn’t get up to help me or anyone else in the store (4 ppl)
Moral of this review: This store needs to check their employees customer service abilities. Especially when they failed to deliver the basic top 101 retail customer service i.e. Greet customers as they enter

Cool place to get some local hip hop gear. Kinda reminds me of the True store on Haight Street in San Francisco.

This place is cool! It’s got funky shirts and accessories you can’t get anywhere else.

Simplistic, classy and contemporary. the hi store carries in4mation, aloha army and hi apparel. If you’re into «street wear», this store is on of the places you must hit up other than the In4mation and Crooks and Castles Hawaii. Some stuff you can’t even get online, so if you’re ever in Oahu you have to stroll over to Chinatown and linger through this boutique.
Super cool employees, don’t be shy to ask questions or for assistance.
Thanks for the Aloha hat, still fresh.

one word for thier gear…
FRESH-​ER-​EST-​EST

If only they had them «hi» jeans for women, i’d raid those jeans and take them all home! I must thank a friend for recommending this place to check out.

Located at the corner of Nuuanu and Pauahi, The Human Imagination is a boutique store showcasing men’s and women’s clothes from Stussy, In4mation and other brands. The store is quite attractive and neatly organized while showcasing select clothes, so if something strikes you ask one of the staff for assistance.
The clothes by In4mation are unique and different so if you have a trendy friend you need something special for, check them out and see if something strikes you. They also have a fantastic selection of hats, bags, and other goods that make you look just a tad better everyday!
Service is fantastic and its shining glory. The staff are very personable and very helpful. They take great pride in their products and aim to please. Prices are rather reasonable and the array of products will meet any price point.
Definitely a great way to support small local businesses!

Gemma bought me a HI tank top which I wore shortly after leaving the store. Probably one of my favorite tanks and everyone seems to ask me where I go it. We always stop by if we’re in the area. They sell a lot of hats and shirts that you can probably only get out here! So if you’re visiting, make sure you stop by and grab something!

I am very happy that they opened a location in Chinatown near school.
It is on the corner of Nuuanu & Pauahi, and the store is brand spankin’ new and clean.
I absolutely love the whole idea of «The Human Imagination» that Rhandy Tambio and the guys at in4mation came up with.
Always great customer service, very personable, especially since most of the workers at this location are the actual owners themselves.
They are just getting started (they haven’t done their GRAND opening yet) so they don’t have a card machine or a register yet and they also have limited items.
I love that this store has art and photos by Rhandy Tambio himself and it’s great that they’re also serving this location as a gallery as well.
Super excited to see what they come up with next!

Probably the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Great customer service and extremely welcoming. Limited items you can only get at this location. Make sure to stop by.
