New Delhi, 08th July 2025: Comet, India’s homegrown disruptor in sneaker culture, proudly opens its latest flagship store in Delhi’s iconic Basant Lok Market, following the massive success of its Bangalore flagship. The new space isn’t just a store—it’s a living, breathing extension of the brand’s universe, where sneaker drops meet spatial storytelling, and street culture meets personal expression.
Conceived as a spatial journey, the store invites visitors to walk through a timeline, beginning with a narrow, sculpted corridor that slows the body and sharpens the senses. This passage opens into a soaring double-height space where a central sculptural installation, reminiscent of a celestial collision, anchors the interior. It is here that transformation and tension—hallmarks of Comet’s design philosophy—are made tangible.
The materials are raw, tactile, and layered, textured concrete, fractured stone, veined marble, and warm timber—composed to evoke both disruption and harmony. Cracked wall planes discreetly open into product displays, turning discovery into ritual. Toward the rear, a bold cobalt-blue staircase ascends to the Drop Zone: a mirrored upper-level gallery that archives Comet’s past collections, offering a quiet moment of reflection above the kinetic energy of the shop floor.
On the building’s façade, a sculptural shoe tree juts outward—more than a visual marker, it’s a symbol of growth, intention, and the brand’s unwavering momentum. Every inch of the space has been designed to collapse the boundary between architecture and emotion, turning the act of shopping into an experience of belonging, exploration, and narrative.
“Opening our flagship in Delhi is a surreal moment for us. We’ve always seen Comet as more than just a sneaker brand—it’s a cultural statement, a feeling, a space for self-expression. This store is a physical extension of that idea: bold, layered, and built to spark conversation. We wanted it to feel like a journey, not just a place to shop” said Utkarsh Gupta and Dishant Daryani, founders of Comet.
This launch marks a significant milestone for Comet, the Bengaluru-born sneaker label that has rapidly emerged as one of India’s most distinctive and culturally attuned footwear brands. Founded in 2023 by Utkarsh Gupta and Dishant Daryani, Comet was created to challenge the norms of sneaker culture in India, fusing storytelling, nostalgia, and bold design through a proudly unisex lens.
Built on the belief that design should never apologize, the brand’s “Never Shy, Never Sorry” ethos runs through every silhouette—from its signature Highs and Lows to cult favourites like the Aeons, Slides, and limited-edition drops such as Mango, Juno, and Ludo. Each release is a moment, a story, and a collectible—making Comet not just a brand, but a community.
With its New Delhi flagship, Comet takes a confident step forward—expanding its footprint while deepening its cultural impact. The store isn’t just a home for product; it’s a temple for possibility.
