Kixclusive

Dope kicks. hard to find selection

If you’re a sneakerhead, you’ll love this place. But if you’re a sneakerhead, you’ll also realize that the mark up is ridiculous in this place. It’s also questionable if they’re selling the actual sneaker and not B Level shoes.
If you’re looking for an exclusive sneaker, chances are they have it here, but you will pay a pretty penny for them.

Stopped in here to look a couple times. It’s got a nice selection, not as vast as Flight Club but it’s got some real heat in the case and pretty competitive prices. I haven’t bought anything from here yet but got a gift form here, Cool Grey 11’s which were in great shape with an original box and plastic inserts and etc. I generally buy retail but if I need something older or can’t cop what I want I’m sure I’ll come here.

Very good service and a wide variety of sneakers.
If you’re a sneaker head like me I’d advise you to check this place out. There’s always something rare and sought after in that place.

I dropped by one night after work, and was instantly greeted by the shopkeep. Definitely a pleasant surprise considering every other sneaker shop in NY consists of holier-​than-​thou employees who forget they’re retail workers. I spoke for a moment with the owner/​manager/​whatever for a few minutes, and knew instantly he was a down-​to-​earth guy. He noticed my kicks instantly and commended me for having them in such bad shape (meaning, «props to you for actually wearing your kicks»).
Another thing I was instantly greeted by was a not-​so-​subtle hint of body odor. Yes, BO. Within minutes I figured out who it was coming from, so I steered clear from him. I don’t think he was an employee, but some guy who just hung out at the store to keep him company and give the store a busy appearance.
Kixclusive’s collection of shoes is pretty good, but extremely lacking in terms of variety. Tons of Dunk SBs and Jordans but nothing for the non-​hypebeasts. Maybe i’m not remembering correctly but there was no New Balance and adidas. Kix also has a selection of apparel but I don’t bother with that stuff. Nonetheless, Kixclusive is just one of very few places where you can get Nike SBs and Jordans from 2005-​and-​earlier.
The interior décor is very bare-​boned and the location could be better, but it’s not the typical everyday-​shoestore; it’s targeted toward sneakerheads and those who might be looking for that ONE pair. Flight Club was also situated in a very annoying neighborhood but it still managed to maintain its reputation, so Kixclusive may follow suit.
