Decided to do up this post on Paju Premium Outlets because I really feel the trip to Paju was really worth it!! Especially to big brand names like Adidas and Nike! They have very good deals at the outlet and the items aren't exactly very off season!
Went on a day trip to Paju although our main goal was to only visit the Premium Outlets as we were short of time, Paju has many other attractions were you can enjoy your day at! Places of interest like Provence Village ( where Produce 101 was filmed at) and the Hyeri Art Gallery for really pretty photo spots
Directions:
- Hapjeong Station (Subway Line 2 or 6), Exit 2.
- Bus 2200 and Get off at Paju Premium Outlets Back Gate Bus Stop
The Bus Stop Map at the station was all in Korean but when I had boarded the bus, there was a screen displaying the names of the next stop in English. Do remember to keep a look out for the station names and to alight as the ride can be rather long
The queue that greeted us at Hapjeong Station where there is the bus number marking on the ground and not like a typical bus stop.
While on the bus to Paju sit on the left and you will get a small glimpse of North Korea and it was really cool to open our maps to see just a sea separating where we were located to North Korea! The whole area was fenced up thoroughly with lookout towers. Cheap thrills for non-DMZ visitors!
Arrived at the Paju Premium Outlet stop after almost and hour of bus ride and realised we had to walk a whole round to get to the main entrance sigh

So imagine when we saw this pair and it was available in so many sizes!!!
Was so tempted to get a pair of Stan Smiths as well because the price is so irresistible!!! and the the colour was pretty unique as well
When NMDs were still all in the trend this pair was only selling for 89,000 won but in Singapore a pair of NMDs easily sold for $200 and above. Really good deal then but I guess the trend has already died down drastically.
Some other shoes that I spotted. The one below is really unique!
The best deals we got were these pairs of Ultraboost! They did not have many designs available but these were definitely better than nothing! Shoe sizes run rather limited for more popular models like these but there were still quite a few popular sizes available.
Went out of the store with these in hand! Oh and the best part? You still get tax free on the items so it is even cheaper!
Hoped into a few other shops but the sales weren't as drastic until Nike! This pair of full white was on sale for less than SGD$50! Really really tempting. My friend even scored a pair of Janoskis for around SGD$30
Our loots for the day where you can obviously tell majority of them are from a single store. But that shows you how good the deals are there!!! Premium Outlets definitely do change their items as season passes but it is great that on my visit, they also had some of the in trend items on sale.
Definitely worth the trip down to Paju and also do give the other Paju attractions a try while you are there!
