Bobby Webster and his wife Jenn own Niche, a sneaker and clothing boutique located in South End that specializes in hard-to-find items. Niche was recently the only U.S. store featured in Streetwear Today, a German magazine featuring streetwear, sneakers and art.

1) Fashion trend: "My favorite trend right now is the fact that everything is shifting to a cleaner, more mature, look. Everything is becoming focused more on quality and details."

2) Shoe brand: "I've always loved Vans."

3) Books: "I'm actually reading the Conrad Hilton autobiography, Be My Guest. It's not typically something I would read but my dad gave it to me and it's really good. It's really inspirational to read about his determination."

4) Art: "I really like graphic-driven illustration stuff and more pop-culture based stuff. Dave Kinsey (www.kinseyvisual.com) is amazing."

5) Music: "It's hard to lock down one band, but lately I can't get enough of Band of Horses."
