Sneaker City
Wednesday, June 01, 2005
If you have a sneaker fetish like I do, savor a trip to Sneaker City on Pike Street. True, vintage sneakers have gotten so popular these days you can buy them at any mall. But, to gaze at Sneaker City’s cramped selection of new and old school Nikes, Adidas, Pumas, New Balance, even Timberlands is a treat for any aficionado.
Plus, the place has a great vibe. You can tell their customers love their sneakers by listening to the passionate discussions of color, trim, make and model.
I would say their prices are in line with what you would find anywhere. And many of the vintage kicks are marked "on sale" with $5 taken off the listed price.
So take your sneaker buying habit to this hole-in-the-wall, mom-n-pop operation. You’re guaranteed to find the latest Jordans, the oldest Jordans and everything in between. Conveniently, if you need something to compliment your newly purchased Air Force 1’s, Leroy’s Men’s Clothing is just down the street.
