Sneaker City

I found Nike Cortez here for $ 50! Great location, and really good selection of Nikes. The Asian guy working was really helpful and nice. They accept American Express. Located right next to Pike Place market.

My girlfriend Sharon and I are shoe Wh) res, however, while the rest of the world looks at designer high end shoes, we like our sneakers. Guy at the til was decently helpful. I picked up a good pair of converse shoes for $ 60 which is a serious steal considering how much they actually go for in Vancouver. I’ve been here a few times to buy shoes. Once last year during Bumbershoot weekend with my best friend and another with Sharon. Booth trips have been awesome. If I didn’t enjoy it the firs time than I wouldn’t have come back.

Great shoe store

Excellent store! Great selection of sneakers and a clean, friendly atmosphere. The staff is great and more than helpful. Will definitely come again!

To Amanda C and Ryan G. Yes our employees bought a size for themselves, we have two that purchased a pair. If you knew about retro Jordan retail stores who have actual accounts, all retro shoes are allocated and our allocation for these retro 6 were 10 for men’s sizes. I find it funny that Amanda, who bought a pair is now saying they are fake just because her adolescent «husband» didn’t get a pair. And after Ryan G couldn’t get his pair he also said everything was fake. Why wait in line AND buy a pair of they are fake?
If he hadn’t thrown such a hissy fit and stomped his feet like a toddler and had his «wife» chime in afar she paid for her retros… We have have asked him if he would like not to wait in line for the next release as a sign of customer service. But both acted worse than any two year old I have seen in a long time and I would prefer that they go to Nordstrom to have their ass kissed because we won’t do it just because they «feel» so entitled.
If you look at all of their reviews, they only complain about places as their entitled selves think they deserve to be treated like prince William and princess Kate. If you had the grace and humility that they did, we may treat you like they are treated. But considering how you turned out, you should have had a belt taken to your ass when you behave like you did on Black Friday.

The workers save all the good shoes for their friends which I’m pretty sure isn’t allowed my husband tried to buy some shoes when they opened today but the staff had screwed the rest of their clients for the day/​year. Sneaker City should be called Sneaky City, they have some horrible staff if the managers are letting them get away with this kind of behavior. Did us dirty, and everyone else in line. Don’t bother coming here for anything special because they don’t treat their customers fairly. No good Jordan’s here either, possibly fakes.
WEAK ASS STORE.

Cheap shoes: if you want to do the work. Salespeople are up behind the counter and I didn’t see them come out to help, but they were friendly when approached. Somewhat disorganized display: the sizes remaining in each shoe are written on the tag in a manner that requires some interpretation. Hard to find a shoe in my size and I wasn’t about to look at every shoe, so at some point I just got desperate for time and got something that was ok but not great. Usually I expect shoe stores to have a wider range of sizes and more service to help me find what I’m looking for, here you have to hunt for a long time to get what you want.

This is by far the hottest shoe place if you are looking for styles that the sneaker companies don’t make anymore. Their prices are reasonable and service is fast. Every time I’m in town for a new pair of kicks… I buy one there. It’s been about 10 yrs since I’ve been going. I live on the east coast and have lots of options here but let me tell you, they carry lines I’ve never seen in any NYC store!

Beware: Apparently they close at 5:45 not 6.
I’ve been trying to get here after work for the last week. I finally managed to get out early enough to get here by 5:45… just enough time to buy shoes before they close! Unfortunately they were already closed. I’ll update this review if I ever manage to get here when they’re open.

Very cool store with a great sneaker collection.
I had in mind exactly what I wanted, Optic White Converse high tops, and went to two other stores who did not carry that color.
I rushed over to Sneaker City after work and found them sitting on the shelf amongst the best selection of converse I’ve ever seen.
I was a little concerned after one reviewer thew out the accusation of fake shoes, but after seeing for myself these are obviously authentic.
The only downside to this shop is the hours make it hard for someone who works to come here during the week, but I completely understand closing at 6 when your store is downtown on Pike.

Yup, you can get sneakers here alright. I don’t know if you can get a city’s worth though.
Sneaker City only sells sneakers. Plus laces and some other shoe accoutrement.
This is the only place I’ve ever bought Chucks. Every color imaginable and they’ve always had the (men’s) size 4 I require. I’ve never even looked at the other part of the store so I can’t speak to the rare, special edition, fancy pants shoes mentioned by other reviewers. I’m also not convinced the shoes are «fake,» as alleged by a couple reviewers.
Don’t expect much hand holding from the staff and you’ll do just fine.
But the dude gave me some laces for free, yo. Rad.

I’ve been coming to this place for a few years and they have a really unique selection of sneaks. A couple of notable purchases were a pair of «Incredibles» Kid’s Nike Air Max BW as well as the Nike Dunk Low Royal Blue Black Cracked Design GS Kids Limiteds. I haven’t seen the Incredibles ones anywhere else and I love em. The family who runs the place is really warm and I love how their dog sits on top of the counter to greet you. Definitely a pike market staple, I’ll be back soon!

Would never drop a dollar here. If you do not know much about sneakers then go ahead and waste money. The sneakers are fake. How do I know? I have looked and compared my real vs theirs. Also their boxes that they come in are not the same as authentic.
It is just like a swap meet style spot. Bad customer service and poor quality knock offs. NO sneakers come wrapped in plastic!

Cool spot for your unusual and funky sneaker needs. They have all kinds of crazy designs in here that are reminiscent to sneaker stores in Japan. They must import this stuff, because I haven’t seen many of the designs and colors anywhere else. They also seem to be well stocked in limited edition designs which is cool. Only downside is that nothing is discounted much. Even the stuff on sale can be found cheaper elsewhere. I would only bother if I wanted something rare since you can’t buy some of the stuff in here anywhere else.

Let’s be honest here. It’s an amazing store and if you’re looking for kicks this is the place to go. They let you try on shoes for hours if you want, and they’ve got stuff that you never see in store. Go.

Didn’t swoop up a pair but they had a great selection. Rare pairs of Nike you’d usually find only online were found here. If I were a local I’d definitely buy my kicks here.
Now if they only had a pair of Nike Toxic Avengers…

For sure the best selection of sneakers in the area, and not just in terms of volume. Whoever does the ordering has a good eye. Lots of cool shoes you won’t see many other places — definitely not at a department store or chain athletic place. A bit of a hip hop-​y vibe.

Tons of selection — but no sizes.
You will not find über-​limited releases here, but it’s a place where true sneaker-​fiends go. The walls and displays are decked out with nearly every general release shoe in the past couple of years. The only problem is that they typically only have a few sizes left, so if you wear a rare size (like me), the place feels more like a consignment shop. But that’s part of the fun, all times you get your excited little mitts on the plastic-​wrapped sneakers that you missed copping only to find they don’t have your size, will be all made up when you do find that grail pair.
Also, this is a great place for people that know there are *other* companies outside of Nike — tons of Adidas, Saucony, Puma, Converse and New Balance are on display. Behind the counter is a small consignment collection of rare Airs.
Gotta love the fact it’s run by a Korean mom and pop. As mentioned in other reviews, check the hours before you head down as they are open limited hours due to the shady neighbourhood.
A definite stop-​by for me everytime I’m in Seattle. Let your friends walk through Pike Place as you do some sneaker-​hunting.

Its not a boutique but for a down town sneaker shop this place is super dope! If you have ever been to Philli or Ny you will know that you can find these shops in every urban shoppin area. Shoes wrapped in plastic so they dont get dirty from being handled by shoppers is common place here. Sure no limited runs but they do get some really dope colorways of common Jordans, Dunks AF1s and Air Maxes.
Also probably the best selection of toddler/​infant nikes in town that I know of and I shop for these alot. Im talkin all the styles mentioned above.
The owners appear to be of Korean descent possibly. They know whats up with kicks!
I like these ghetto ass places that really are targeting urban youth:)
Thanks Korean family that knows what up!

Small store with some fab kicks that made me turn right around and want to take a peak! All of your hip hop basics. loved the different color Nikes! My high school students would have flipped out in this store
