Where to buy On Cloud shoes?

With the exception of their flagship store, what other stores sell them? The flagship store only does appointments, it's a long wait and they close early hence the terribly low ratings.

Check out ABC-Mart or Atmos. They usually stock On Cloud. Otherwise, On's website might have a store locator.

Nah, it's probably just a regular Family Mart. Shinjuku's crazy busy, but even the most hyped-up convenience stores in Tokyo are mostly just...convenience stores. You're romanticizing it. They might have some slightly different seasonal stuff, maybe a unique onigiri flavor for a week or two, but nothing mind-blowing. Think slightly more chaotic, maybe longer lines, definitely more salarymen buying their evening beer. That's about it. Don't get your hopes up too high. You'll be disappointed.

Still, a slightly chaotic convenience store sounds kinda fun in its own way. Longer lines? Sounds like a challenge! Maybe I'll grab that unique onigiri if it's still around. Thanks for the reality check!
