The Poro store is where you can purchase in-game cosmetic options like champion poses, emotes, baubles, and more. The currency used here is Poro Coin which you can obtain by participating in events or doing daily and weekly missions. 

Where are the free skins, you ask? You can acquire a random skin after filling up the Poro Energy Meter. The best way to fill this up fast is by purchasing Poro Chests which can contain various cosmetic items and energy charges that will be added to your energy meter.
