This place is dope! If you're ever looking for a new sb dunk in Reno, this is the place to go! The shop owner is dope! Follow them on instagram to get notifications on exclusive drops, trust me... THEY FLY OFF THE SHELVES FAST! Located right in the same parking lot as RPM, so it's extremely convenient! I will be bacc and I consider them amazing when it comes to adding value to the local sneaker community! It's definitely a gem! I feel bad for giving out this free game! My friends will probably be mad but thank me later! read more

We took our 16 year old in to build a set up for his birthday, we were taken care of from the jump. He helped us build his best option set up for our price point(killer!) and they had a huge variety of boards, trucks, and wheels. He installed the grip tape for him but encouraged him to finish his build! It was a great experience and it only took about 4 hours to end up in the emergency room, no broken bones, just a killer elbow injury! Thanks again! read more

I will have to post the skateboard that Eric himself is building for my son for his first skateboard. But I couldn't help and post about our experience as soon as I had the chance. Looked up local skate shops in Reno,NV on chat gpt and found Classic Skate shop, I noticed that it was ran by the owner. So my husband and I decided to stop in and see what they had. Walked in, was greeted right away then I asked him a lot of questions about boards and my son being a newbie and buying his first skateboard. He told us we had options to trick boards, cruiser boards etc. We decided on a cruiser board since my son wants to just skate with his big brother. With over 40 years of experience he put together a great board for him. He even said he would build it himself. I can't wait to pick it up and upload a photo of how sick this board is going to look. Great advice and personable guy. Thanks Eric for the unforgettable experience! I'll never forget it. read more

Regarding the review below this one...that particular guest came in with an erratic behavior that made other guests in the shop uneasy. Eric here at Classic handled that customer with the same excellent level of respect and communication as he does with every guest that walks in. Classic Skateshop remains the core source for skateboarding in northern Nevada, doing the most for both the long term locals and the first time riders. No skate scene is complete without a a cornerstone Skateshop, Classic is Reno's. read more

Classic skate shop is just that. A classic skate shop. The place is pretty small but that's what you want out of a skate shop. I'm not there to buy a bunch of overpriced clothes or sunglasses. This place has clothing and glasses and other skate shwag but it's really about the boards, trucks and wheels. They have a great selection of decks and a bunch of quality trucks. Prices are good for a skate shop on the decks, wheels and trucks. The owner is cool and really well informed. Not to mention he will throw the grip tape on for you at no extra charge.

I was visiting from out of town and just so happened to catch a shoe release. I was with my wife and kids so I was a little weary of standing in line. No one was practicing social distancing so I got a bit scared off. The owner showed up and I think didn't really know why everyone was lined up. Then realized they were all there for shoes. Hahaha! I feel like he handled it as best as he could with all the disgruntled people that again were not practicing social distancing. Hard to be a shop owner in this situation but he did a great job of handling the situation. People weren't exactly happy but there are rules and he did what he felt was best to keep his staff and customers safe. We all missed out on the shoes but it was a good call by the owner at the end of the day. He did the right thing. read more

One of the kids asked for a skateboard from Santa and since I spent most of my formative years sitting on a skateboard smoking in various parking lots I can't bring myself to buy a skateboard from Target. Off to Classic Skate Shop where I was expecting to be raped in the wallet, sneered at by "skate kids" and then barraged with upselling for completely unnecessary shit. Instead, I was sold relatively "value" priced wheels, trucks and a deck by an insanely helpful clerk who threw in some free grip tape and stickers. It didn't cost me a fortune and the only "skate kid" working was a skate MAN with a beard so amazingly lustrous it went straight past hipster and all the way around to biblical. Quality work by quality folks. For quality parts and skate-centric chit-chat, we're looking at a solid four stars. read more

EDIT - This shop is INSIDE the mall on the NE corner of Plumb and S Virginia. There is no sign from the street but it is the same place as Tuesday Morning. This skate shop embodies the true heart of skateboarding. If you want to experience what skating was like from the 80's to today, this is the shop for you. These guys have been skating since the 80's and this shop is an extension of their love for the sport, lifestyle and culture. No false representation or pretense here, they're the real deal. They know all about the classics. They know the modern. They stock only the best. They stock new designs and reissues from only the best in the industry. They know the area. They know the skateparks. They know what works for street, ramp, or pools. At my age of 41, my son has taken to skating. This has rekindled my love for the board and these guys get it. I felt welcomed back into the fold and this shop is where I will spend my time and money. They told me to bring my son in next time so they could meet him and welcome him. He's 8. If you want to feel part of the skateboarding family, come to this shop, get to know them, embrace and love of the board. You will not be disappointed! read more

What a great shop. I'm tempted to go straight into the nitty gritty details of the shop--the fantastic selection of skater-owned brands, the myriad unique decks they stock, the nice selection of apparel--but I'd rather comment on the guy behind the counter, Dean. He might honestly be the friendliest, nicest person I've ever met. My wife and I were in Reno to check out the city, and we knew that stopping by Classic was a must. Dean made sure our instinct was rewarded. He probably talked with us about Reno and its surrounding areas for 45 minutes. He made us feel right at home, and when it was time to shop, he let us browse with no interruption. He was super-attentive to the customers who came in with questions, and he even hooked me up with a clutch of free stickers. I will definitely be back. Simply put, Dean is one of the many reasons my wife and I are strongly considering moving to the biggest little city in the world. If the rest of the folks are half as friendly as Dean, we're going to be very happy there. read more

Even the horse shaped dog that greets you at the door is as friendly as it gets. The guy I was talking to about bike parts was very interested in knowing what kinds of brands and stuff that me and my friends would be interested in them carrying.

Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good, inviting, etc. Nice couple. They even laughed at my dumb jokes, lol. Price - $82, still a GREAT deal for this brand! Even though my last visit was $25 less expensive. :) Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2005; I am a regular customer. :)

Classic skate shop is hands down the best shop in northern Nevada! Awesome selection of shoes, skate gear, streetwear and hats/beanies. The prices have always been reasonable and it's a local business. We must support our local businesses more than ever, especially right now. The people that work there have always been more than willing to help me find what I am looking for and their patience is impeccable. They have never made me feel unwelcome or stupid for trying to get into skating and understanding what I need in order to have the right set up. They're hands down one of the best local businesses in Reno and has always been knitted tightly within the community. read more

Heard about the Nike SB chunky dunkys being backdoored to people from here. Didn't wanna believe it till I saw another reviewer had a similar experience. Sad that they had to lie to the general public about not getting them so they could make a quick extra buck. Especially on such a exclusive release with some so highly coveted in the sneaker world. Would not recommend doing business with such shady individuals like these people to any one in the future. read more

Hands down best skate shop experience I've ever had. Everybody there is extremely knowledgeable and very nice. Their selection is amazing and only getting better. Also, their prices can't be beat and they're always having great sales. I was happy that they helped me find what was right for me instead of just selling me a bunch of random stuff. 10/10 Will definitely be giving them all of business. read more

Once again had a great experience shopping at Classic. I can't say enough about this shop. I myself manage a board shop in Tahoe and I can really appreciate the respect, care and knowledge I see being displayed with every customer interaction I witness. Keep up the great work and thank you for supporting the skateboarding community in Reno. read more

best skate shop. hands down. Dean was super helpful and a cool guy to talk to. The people who run the shop are very invested into the Reno skate community, and have years of hands on skate experience. Classic skate shop is WAY better than some shop @ The mall. I highly recommend. -Adam W. read more

The owner also seems super chill and friendly. Honestly though, the prices were insanely high, even for a resale shop. I'm all for spending a few extra bucks supporting small bucks, but this is much more than that. That said, if you're looking for a hard to find grail and money isn't an issue, he might have just have what you're looking for.

My most recent purchase was online because I haven't made it back up to Nevada since last summer. Having a website makes this great store accessible anytime, which I love! Anyway the new dusty peach Desert Dreams tank was just my western, free spirit style and I had to have it! I had an issue with sizing but the wonderful staff including Scott and Ginger, made sure I got just what I needed in no time at all! They are the nicest people. If you are in the biggest little city in the world, make sure you stop in either of their two locations in Reno. I will be back in when we visit in August for the fabulous Hot August Nights event. I can't say enough positive things about this business! If you are looking for other items besides shirts, they have some amazing artwork, glasses, cards, stickers, magnets, a vast array of high quality merchandise! Check them out.

And believe it or not, they had another pair in my size here! I did not buy it as I want to break the first pair in. I also saw the one I am replacing here, lol. If you are following, you already know I have been shopping for a new pair of Hoka shoes. And I finally found a place that had what I needed and wanted. They actually had my size! Thank you. I did not know Hoka also made slippers...? Might have to get one in the future also. My wife also got a pair of shoes yesterday and put another pair on hold in their Sparks location. Future review to follow. I guess we will visit all three locations in a week! This location is smaller than the one we visited yesterday, but still has a decent selection of high end good quality shoes for running and walking. Atmosphere - Clean and well organized. Obviously supports the running community, see all the pictures. Open 6 days a week from 10am to 5pm or 6pm. Closed Sundays. Bathroom for customers, I did not use it. Water fountain and water bottle refill station. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Self service here today, the team member was busy helping others. Two team members helped us yesterday in the South Reno location, both were good. But Scott stood out. I watched him help others, then my wife, and then me. He is very passionate about his work. And an amazing hard worker. They are also willing to order for you if needed. And match prices. Price - My wife paid, but I think we spent approximately $250 there, not including the shoe we will pick up at Sparks. It pays to pay for quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1994 - 2021 with the new owners and with your 3 locations. It's so great to see small local businesses thrive. Support local!

I was a little confused when I first walked in because there's no signs about how the clothing/shoes are organized other than sizing. It's a smaller store but they have several rows of street wear clothing in the middle and the walls are lined with cool sneakers. Some are wrapped in clear plastic, others are just hanging or sitting on shelves unwrapped. The clothes mostly consist of shirts and jackets. Once I asked one of the workers to explain the concept and how things work to me, it was great! They are clearly very knowledgeable and friendly once they know you want some assistance. New shoes and clothes are wrapped in plastic, gently used items are unwrapped. Prices are on the bottom of the shoes and all available sizes they have in that color/style are listed next to the price. As far as the bubble tea goes, they have a digital menu and tea station at the very back of the store. They have regular, large, and big bear cup sizes! Plenty of flavors and add ins to choose from but probably not as many as other bubble tea spots. I got a peach fruit tea with boba and it tasted exactly as I had hoped! Price was comparable to any other bubble tea place. Then you get to sip on your drink as you walk around and browse the items in the store. Even though I'm not really into street wear, it was fun to have something to do while we enjoyed our tea!
