For All My NYC Sneakerheads

[mannybinswaggin]

What are the best sneaker stores in NYC? I'm going there on Saturday, and I need some recommendations. I'm more of a jordans and nike guy, so any suggestions for those would be greatly appreciated.

***Places that sell Jordan 3s, 4s or 5s would be MONSTROUSLY appreciated. I also need some Air Max 97s tho.

These will last much longer than your cute little sneakers. Cheaper too.

One of the 5 million footlockers in manhattan. Or maybe the Nike flagship store.

@Vice, how much on average are the shoes and which ones do you recommend?

On average, about $200-$300. Then when they wear out you just send them back in and get them resoled and reconditioned for about $100, or cheaper at a local cobbler. Doing this is MUCH cheaper in the long run than buying new shoes, and Allen Edmonds never go out of style.

I'm about to buy a pair of regular old black converses though so I don't look so serious when I'm wearing certain clothes, sometimes wearing dress shoes, trendy jeans, and a dress shirt is trying too hard.
