Newly shuffled into downtown Red Bank is Rare Breed, a sneaker store at 16 White Street.
Owners D.J. Senatore and Stephen Perri, who moved their business here from Brighton Avenue in Long Branch, are counting on what they say is a distinctive mix of sneakers, T-shirts, caps and accessories to draw customers to their storefront across the street from Nirvana.
“I hate the word ‘streetwear,’ but that’s one way to describe what we sell,” says Senatore.
