Sneaker shopping in Barcelona is pretty sad. 24Kilates is one of the only shops that actually has decent accounts but that is not saying much. If your looking for GR sneakers they usually have a good amount of stock as long as it is not some Hypebeast kicks.
Releases are a whole other thing. First off they either do raffle or first come first served for the popular releases. Both are a scam. First come first served is the biggest scam of all. The shop opens at 11AM. You will meet some bullshit sneaker heads that claim to have been camping for +3 days and hold a list they claim is accurate. Don't buy their bullshit. They have not been camping, they have one guy sit outside on shifts then they all show up the morning of around 5-6am. Don't waste your time!
Also be advised the workers are in on the scam. If you ask they will tell you that you can show up around an hour early and they should have enough kicks. This is bs. Also they will post on IG that shoes are releasing when it fact they will not but they will not even have the decency to update their customers of any changes.
I guess in a city of this size when there are only 3 retailers you can pretty much do as you chose and eff the real heads. Nike should really pull their account but then again there are not many other distribution options in this city. read more
