General Advice
Many stores are conveniently located near each other, especially in areas like SoHo, making it easy to visit multiple locations in one trip [1:2]. It's advisable to check store availability beforehand, as some larger sizes or specific models might not be readily available

Im going to new york later this month and i was wondering what the must go sneaker stores are. Thanks!
Flight Club, Round Two, Stadium Goods, Kith, the Nike and Adidas Flagship stores on 5th Avenue, House of Hoops on 34th St, Dover Street Market, Extra Butter and NikeLab 21 Mercer.
thanks for the list ill see what i can fit in
A lot of these stores are nearby each other and subway system makes traveling around easy. Start from SoHo, you’ll hit a majority of stores as you head uptown.
Flight club
Flight Club, Round Two, Kith, BBC, Ect.. I'm from a small town so even the larger Nike, Adidas, footlocker are soooo much better.
ok thanks man
No problem, enjoy your trip!
Going to be in Manhattan in a few weeks. What stores do I have to hit up?
Nike store, Flight Club, others??
Stadium Goods, that’s where they shoot the complex sneaker shopping. Expensive but worth it to stop in
I definitely will. Really appreciate it.
Concepts, kith, dover street market, extra butter, I think there is a solestage, SNS (SneakersnStuff), Atmos and LacedUp NyC which is part of LOOKS nyc (overall they are all in manhattan but scattered around)
Perfect. Thanks for the list!
I will be visiting NY for a week with my wife, and I would like to visit a good store with lots of options of sneakers for training. Recommendations in Manhattan will be appreciated as I’ll be staying around Time Square.
Thanksss
Paragon Sports near Union Square
REI has a reasonable shoe selection, albeit a bit more orientated to trails and hiking.
Macy’s.
Training for what? If you are looking for running shoes there are plenty of dedicated running shoe stores.
I practice boxing! So I need something like "the opposite" for running because balance is better than absorbing the running impact.
I never considered that! How did you get into boxing?
Hoka on 22 & 5th
New Balance on 20 & 5th
Paragon Union Sq
Fleet Feet on 14
Foot Locker on 14
Adidas and Nike in Soho
Brooklyn Running on Grand in Williamsburg
Asics store in Meatpacking
Visiting NYC and was wondering what the best consignment shops or boutiques that i should visit. Just drop the name in the comments, Thanks!
KITH, Round 2, Sneakersnstuff, Concepts NYC, Extra Butter, West NYC, Dover Street Market, Nike Lab
Flight club
yeah that was assumed lol
All of these stores too
Round Two, Stadium Goods, and Unique Hype.
Sneakersnstuff, Nikelab 21M, the footlocker on 34th st. The Nike flagship in soho. The adidas flagship on 5th, Kith.
Hi all, I’ve been struggling to find a shoe I’m genuinely happy with. Are there any running stores that stand out compared to others in their knowledge and expertise to help with a proper fit? NYC obviously
Super Runners Shop! I love the Midtown East location
Agreed.. plus they also do the 3D foot scan thing that Fleet Feet does, and I love that they recommend 2-3 options and different brands.
everyone might say Fleet Feet but my experience at the Brooklyn store kinda soured them for me.
I love Brooklyn Running Co off Atlantic Ave
I went to Brooklyn Running Co after hearing so much hype, and honestly I was not impressed. The experience was no better than any other running store. They just watched me take a few steps, told me I overpronate, and recommended Brooks Adrenaline. I've actually had better experiences at Fleet Feet.
funny enough thats my experience at Fleet Feet, lol.
They don’t have a very good selection though
agree but in times past they werent afraid to recommend something the store doesnt carry rather than force a product they do carry that might not work for what i need. that holds weight for me personally
I feel the staff at Fleet Feet in Columbus Circle are fantastic (all seriously runners who have put in miles in a variety of shoes), but never have my sizes in stock (M8-8.5)
I feel like everyone says Brooklyn running co… and I wish I could recommend them personally but I feel like they are always just trying to sell me the shoes they struggle to sell when I go there (as if they’re trying to clear stock)
Fleet feet 72nd & Amsterdam
UWS location is the best, UES around 60th is also great!
This isn't the answer you're looking for but you're likely best going to a physical therapist who specializes in runners (Finish Line, MotivNY etc.) They can look at you run, see how you strike and recommend shoes that would be best for you. I've been to several Fleet Feets and Brooklyn Running Co and find that the guidance there is a hit or miss. Everyone seems very nice at both and I purchase items from both stores but not everyone knows what they're talking about and it can be tough to know what's correct/incorrect.
Running Company at Columbus Circle or Jackrabbit on 72nd Street
Oh there's a jackrabbit on 14th Street. Can I expect the same quality of products and service?
Yes!
I’m going to second Brooklyn Running Company.
Jackrabbit on 63rd and 3rd is also awesome although as with every store, it does depend a little on the person. I definitely got someone who is an avid runner themselves and who also listened. Their advice is definitely far more tailored than pushing everyone who says "over-pronate" into a stability shoe.
I've been to the Super Runners Shop on 77th and Jackrabbit on 72nd. Both are good. Super Runners Shop treatment varies based on who you get helping you.
I'm a huge fan of Jackrabbit. I've bought shoes from the one on 14th and I shop at their Brooklyn location near prospect park as well. I definitely recommend!
I know about like Nike, Kith, JD, Footlocker but where are some boutiques or smaller stores? Not expecting to find anything but want to visit as many stores as possible
FCNY, Stadium Goods
I’m going to both just to stare at some grails but I was hoping for mainly retail spots
Uniquehype and round2 are my favorites but just take a walk in SoHo and you'll find alot you never knew about
Bet thank you! It’s just overwhelming to look at the google map view of all the stores lol
Flight Club. OVO store.
Hey guys,
Are there any sneaker stores in Manhattan that you would recommend me to go?
Just went to Flight Club and think that it's just stupid that they have a different price in store than in the website (40 dollars more). I'm from Europe so I don't know any stores outside of this ones and Stadium Goods.
Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you in advance!
RIF NY just opened on 69 Mercer. Go there instead.
Quick Google search maybe bro
There’s a place called Laced Up on Broadway and there’s a couple other places right by there as well. Then down in the Lower East Side, there’s District One at Stanton and Essex with Round Two across the street. Best prices are District One and Round Two.
Thank you very much! I will take a look!
Just dug through a few LBS websites to see which shops sell which shoe brands, and found the following. Figured I'd share since it's been a while since anyone's asked that particular question, and nowhere did I find a compiled list. I left Paragon & REI off, since it sounds like their inventory rotates seasonally and it's January. The numbers are just the number of products (shoe types) on the shop's website, not current inventory. If anyone comments with additions or corrections, I'll edit the post to include them.
Bicycles NYC - UES
RA - Brooklyn
Echelon Cycles - Chelsea
Bicycle Habitat - Chelsea
Hilltop (Incycle) - Williamsburg & LES
Redbeard Bikes - DUMBO
Hilltop stocks exclusively Specialized shoes. They’re owned and operated by Specialized, the incycle connection is misleading. Spesh owns incycle as well and the online marketplaces are connected, but the incycle stock does not reflect physical stock at hilltop locations.
Thanks need to get my sizing for a wide pair of lakes
Last I checked, Hilltop Bicycles (Williamsburg/LES) have a decent selection of Specialized road bike shoes
Sweet - I added them, but their online inventory is Incycle generally, so local selection may be some subset of those
Really good shoes. Have had $150 shoes and $400 + shoes. In all cases they last Years of daily riding
Planning to visit New York soon and I was wondering if you guys know any consignment stores or anything like that with rare shoes like Gats or Futures in store? Any information would help and please share. Thanks
Edit: Any stores in LA would help too
