Foot Locker

Anyone who is after a sporty pair of trainers/​flip-​flops and/​or most types of sportswear, this is definitely a place to go and have a look in. It’s got a wide range of products in the shop and the staff are usually knowledgeable and helpful and the overall price range is very reasonable within store.

Foot Locker is heaven for those people who still experience that feeling around trainers that one has as a child, where they seem to glow and eminate happiness, and you feel like the meaning of life and the trainer are closely linked.
For me, those feelings have long abated and been replaced by the more serious worries and woeful depressions that characterize adult life.
But thats no reason to criticize Foot Locker. Their range is amazing and they stock all the lastest, coolest and most colourful trainers. Importantly, these are arranged across the large walls to evelate the shoe to the status of relic.
Or in Lacanian terms, ‘to raise the object to the dignity of the Thing’. Message me if you know what i’m on about.

This is one of my favourite Foot Lockers! Not for the staff though. As much as they want to help, in this particular Foot Locker, beyond the vague «can i help ya?» if you took it further than that for an indepth discussion about styles, ordering, and running support, the chances are the brains of your friendly staff member would implode, think dog in a microwave. They try, they’re just a bit Beavis and Butthead. But they’re not why I come here.
Manchester for it’s Foot Locker is really really lucky, as this one on Market Street, well it’s a beauty for it’s selection of fashion forward funky footwear. Woop on the alliteration. There are sooooooo many styles in the Nike range it’s flippin unbelievable, i literally leave a drool pile in random spots up and down the place evertime i enter. And… talk about kickass Converse! Especially the padded high backs… awesome! For a sneaker head it’s a wonderful place to be. Just don’t let the staff bully you into shoe accessories after they’ve got a sale; state it immediately that you are not interested, so don’t waste your time!
There are other things in Foot Locker, shiny tracksuits. of which I only advocate wearing the top half, and only if they are Adidas. Despite there being many Foot Lockers up and down the country, this one provides a meaty stock selection, and I have found many styles of footwear and clothing in here that I haven’t in others.

I love trainers and shoes! And Footlocker has a great collection of it! Whatever kind of shoe you’re looking for, I’m definite you’re to find it in here, considering how massive this place is. It also has big sports branded bags and some clothes as well, but they don’t take the focus from the shoes away.
The only annoying part in my two visits was the staff. You have to buy something there to face it. If they sell you a pair of shoes, they will try to manipulate and force their way into selling you a ‘sneaker spray’, which apparently would help my shoe from the rains. Or they will try their best to sell some laces even if I’ve told them 20 times I don’t and finally they will mock you about it.
Apart from the over persuasiveness of the staff, the place is a heads up for shoes!

Do you drink bottles of white lightning cider at your local park? Look forward to mincing about looking to cause people problems because you feel like the world’s dealt you a tough time. Then launder outside this shop and you’ll meet many like minded people.
Footlocker is good if you have a genuine affection towards big brand trainers they stock some alright clothes as well, the only problem is they seem to deal exclusively with dick heads. Arr well, if you can get in and out quick enough then your usually alright, i.e. research what you want how your buying it, call ahead, then run the purchasing of it in store like a snatch op.

Footlocker is a definite stop off point on any quest for a new pair of kicks. If you’re looking for a rare pair of old skool trainers then you probably won’t find them here, but you will certainly be presented with a great selection of what’s currently on offer. If you’re a fan of trainers that are endorsed by the likes of The Game and Jay-​Z, then this shop is a must. I got a fantastic pair of Hurricanes a while back. What I wasn’t so keen on was the extra-​sales that the staff there pushed. You know, miracle insoles and so on. Interestingly, I did end up buying these miracle insoles and guess what? They were rubbish.

This is a great shop for anyone who loves sportswear. They sell an extensive range of footwear from athletic and running shoes to casual hip hop style trainers. Their ranges cater for everyone who likes the sporty style. They sell aeorobic and fitness wear, casual tracksuits and basketball shorts and vests. A popular make is Micheal Jordans range of clothing. They sell baseball caps and other sports merchandise such as socks, bags and sweatbands. Saturdays are normally quite busy, especially the trainer section. The prices are usually pretty reasonable and they have ranges of T Shirts on offer constantly ie two for £20 etc. Unlike other shops such as JD, the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
