M5 Showroom is a unique space combining a showroom and retail experience. Found in New York City’s SoHo, M5 features many European and Japanese brands such as Stone Island and Herno, often acting as those brands’ entry points into the North American market. And it’s not your typical store. Rather, it’s a 24-hour on-call VIP shopping experience for the most discerning of customers. You may have heard of Drake, The Weeknd, and Carmelo Anthony…
The staff are in the know as well. Not just within sportswear, but in music too. So we tapped M5 team member and taste-maker Mayan to put together his favorite tracks and answer a few questions for us.
Tell us about yourself and how you got involved with M5.
I began at M5 about three years ago. I head the Marketing and PR department at the company. A friend invited me to come in and have a chat with the owner, and soon enough I was coming in every day. We’re a very fluid showroom. We all have different responsibilities that touch on different aspects of our business, and we take turns taking care of things.
