I'm not too sure about this place, I came in 3 times trying to sell some shoes and everytime they kept telling me the person who buys isn't there and told me to come back on a specific day, I returned two more times and still no one. I even tried to call the number so I wouldn't waste my time and gas and no answer. Third times a charm I kinda gave up, may take my business elsewhere. I'm sure they don't care though. read more

Equvalence - The bag and the shoes I got my BF - Shoe Stores Near Me - Encino, California

I have a 13 year old son who now loves shoes. I bought him a pair of Jordan 4's 2 months prior to his birthday. I didn't think his foot would grow. Once he got them and opened the box they were snug. We looked for stores where we could buy, sell, and trade. He gave a few options but they all had terrible reviews. I was not willing to go to a place where people didn't like the service. My son suggested Equvalence and we made the drive. During our visit we were helped by Shawn who gave us great customer service. They had the shoes my son wanted. We were able to trade successfully, he just had to make a call to double check it was ok. The service was amazing. They have a very large variety of sneakers and the prices are fair. I would definitely come back. My son had a wonderful experience. read more

Went to LA for spring break to do some sneaker shopping and this local place caught my eye. Came in just to look around and greeted by the friendly staff. Had very pleasant conversations with them about shoes and the retailers that sell them in LA. Kept looking around and I came across some 2013 Jordan 3 White Cements "88 Dunk Contest" used for $200. Of course for the prices on Stock X that's a steal so I had to cop. Forget Flight Club, they don't have deals like this. Equvalence is easily one of the best sneaker stores in LA. Great selection and staff, I highly recommend you check this place out. read more

I got my girlfriend Jordan 4s and they turned out fake paid $400 dollars for these shoes and I had a friend look at them to tell me they are fake read more

Somebody tell this kid that doing well doesn't mean you have to lose your kindness and your touch with your customers, people change when they get little money. I'm not going back there was a bad experience with the owner trying to buy a pair of shoes. He told me he can't move the boxes for me so I could take a good look at the inventory. That's your answer when I'm trying to buy a shoe. Pick one online sales or customer and stay on that. read more

They cancelled an order without any advice or reason why. The refund amount was less than the original paid due to currency exchanges. Upon calling, they advised that it was because my billing and shipping addresses were differenty (which is extremely common nowadays). I explained the reasons why and offered to email any documentatyion which would help, but their response was "uh, no, I dunno .... maybe try again?". I asked why their website provided an option for a different billing address; again no response. Since the call dropped, I have tried for almost a week to contact the store via phone, email or socials and have not received any response nor have they picked up the phone. Clearly a dodgy operation and based upon previous reviews, I'm guessing I would have received a fake product anyway. read more

Came In to buy a shoe cleaner and walked out with a pair of Jordan 4 fire reds and Jordan 5 pro stars. Great experience. The gentleman helping me was very knowledgeable and a shoe enthusiast like myself. He worked with me on the price and I'll defined be back. Ps. I did buy the shoe cleaner reshoevin8r. Great product to keep your J's clean. Thanks again. Update: Couldn't leave it alone. Had to get another pair. Walked out with a pair of Jordan 3 motorsports. Couldn't have had a better experience. The gentlemen were awesome once again. They continue to work with me on the prices to get me the best deal possible. GATORADE 6 GREEN PLEASE !!! Size12.5. Thanks again guys, you're the best read more

BEST STORE IN THE VALLEY HANDS DOWN!!! I went to all the other consignment stores out there Rif.la, cool kicks, Flight Club, Round Two and I couldn't find a pair of DS 9.5 Olive Jordan Vs my favorite color way!! I heated about this place on yelp and I'm so glad I came they took very good care of me, and the store was great such a wide array of shoes and collectibles! Any sneaker head that loves shoes should come check this spot out!!! read more

Went to get a legit check at the store for a supreme shirt that i was buying off someone and the OWNER of the store inspected the supreme shirt for a minute or two and then tells me its real, even searches it up on the computer to double check. Turns out the shirt is FAKE! I called them and then they have the audacity to say they dont deal with supreme, THEN WHY DID YOU DO A LEGIT CHECK ON IT??? YOU COULD HAVE JUST TOLD ME THAT YOU DONT DO LEGIT CHECKS ON SUPREME! DONT TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH LEGIT CHECKS BECAUSE YOU WILL GET SCAMMED! Such a shame because the shirt ended up being a terrible fake, which should have been easy for them to legit check. Something was suspicious too between the seller of the shirt and the owner of the store. Beyond disappointed and frustrated. read more

Just recently found this gem! I have been there twice so far and have received nothing short of exceptional service. Jacob and Mike are both great and work with their customers. They also have a great selection of sneakers that will make anyone happy. read more

As someone who has been shoe shopping for the past 8 years in many retail stores as well as consignment stores, I honestly can say this store is the best. Jacob, by far goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and at one with the shoes you want, instead of pushing you towards buying something he will profit more off of. He doesn't leave you alone with the product, just standing there.. he talks to you about what kind of shoe you're looking for and if there's one that may suit you just as well but cheaper he doesn't hesitate to tell you! It doesn't seem like he just wants your money. He puts your need first and most employees at shoe stores especially consignment stores of high priced shoes, do not do that! I appreciate the love Jacob and I will be back soon! read more

Stopped by Equvalence for some jordan bred 11's and they had it. Boom! I've been looking for these for ever. Their selection is great and they have a lot of exclusive stuff as well. Also saw the questions clothing in there guessing they are partners. If you are looking for a great consignment shop, this is the place. Not many like it in the area and friendly service too, the whole staff. Also if they don't have it, they guarantee they can get it for you within reasonable time of course. Give 'em a try, you wont regret it! P.S. Thanks for hooking me up mike! read more

Not sure where to start. Saw this place from the corner of my eye as I was driving by. First time I came in these dudes helped me right away and helped me get one of my grails. Ever since I've been bringing my service here. Didn't even have to wait that long. These guys are awesome, they're helpful and they know what they're talking about. They have a wide selection of shoes and sizes. If they don't have it then they'll help you find it. Prices are on point and the customer service is on point. Everyone there is friendly. The apparel is also nice and accessories are pretty cool. This place is good for trading, selling, and buying some real nice sneakers. You won't be disappointed. This place deserves more recognition. Keep it up friends! read more

The best,got good shoes and clothing inside,customer care is good nice workers inside the store

Honestly what makes this place are the owners. They were so kind when I came in. I don't know much about sneakers, but lately I've been trying to snag up some more, adding to my shoe collection. Both guys, Jacob and (I think the others name was Mike), answered ALL of my questions and even walked through the store with me helping me choose which shoes would be a good look/fit. I settled on some Nikes, which I love! The attentiveness yet cozy feel of the store is incomparable. I've been to Rif La before but it's nothing like Equvalence. Oh! I also bought a hat and jersey tee from a line they carry called Questions. Both good quality and pricing - you can't really beat that. I'll be back, love this place! read more

I came here for the kicks and stayed for the shirts. I found this spot when I was looking for some retros and it's my go to sneaker shop now. Jacob helped me out and he knew his shoes. He was nice enough to show me all their inventory and I stepped out getting 2 tees. There was parking right in front of the store and it was right on Ventura blvd so plenty of parking. If your looking to get your shoe fix definitely check them out. read more

Amazing store with an amazing selection. These are real sneakerheads who know their stuff.

Outstounding customer service, great selection, and the highest quality shoes in LA. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Where have these guys been my whole life? They are on top of it! Thank you so much again for your services Michelangelo I really appreciate it. read more

Jacob & Mike have been Great ever since the day opened ,I have to say the best place I've distributed to in "Years"

I got my Jordan's here 2 weeks ago the staff was friendly and knowledgeable Mike Helped me choose the pair love thouse shoes thanks guys

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Equvalence!!! It's my 3rd time coming here, and I can honestly say the co-owner Jacob knows his stuff!!! Jacob's knowledge about sneakers is very impressive, and I can vouch for him because I've brought this consignment shop multiple Jordans (including two 2016 Jordan Breds) for FREE Legit Checks, and Jacob thoroughly inspects every aspect of the shoe meticulously with a very close eye to help you verify that the shoes are absolutely 100% authentic!!! He does this solely to help people, and performs Legit Checks FREE OF CHARGE as a genuine favor to help anyone who walks into the store! Trust me, his legit checks are super on point and very thorough, and he takes his time to make sure your shoes are real! He does this not to waste your time, but he does this because he genuinely cares about people in the shoe game and he honestly just wants to help you identify the legitimacy of any shoes you want to get legit checked. Knowing that people play in this sneaker game in an honest and truthful manner is what makes him happy, because he wants to make sure you leave with a smile knowing the shoes you purchase with your hard earned money are 100% Authentic! Equvalence is seriously doing customers and sneakerheads a huge favor because Equvalence is looking out for people in this sneaker community! Best part is that the Legit Checks are free and Jacob is more than happy to check as many of your pairs as possible! Also as an added bonus, if you are ever going to do a trade, a meetup, or an in-person purchase from a sneaker head in the community, you can meet up at Equvalence and the owners will help verify if the kicks you are buying from an outside seller are legit. This is totally awesome! Both buyers and sellers will be protected! There is nothing better than that! You are guaranteed peace of mind. Literally they are in the business to help people and Jacob is truthfully an honest and 100% transparent owner!! I had so many great conversations with Jacob about sneakers and he really gave me good advice about how to play this shoe game and the in's and out's of being successful in this shoe game when it comes to super exclusive and highly anticipated releases! Both the owners here are Sneaker Guru's with over 40+ years of combined sneaker experience and knowledge, and I've learned so much valuable information from them! I've been to several consignment shops in the past, and Equvalence truly stands out as an outstanding and unique consignment store with a great selection and favorable prices that you really won't find anywhere else in Los Angeles or the Valley! Their selection of sneakers are incredible (they have EVERY YEEZY and JORDAN you can imagine), and the Best Part is that their Prices are more affordable than many of the other consignments shops in Los Angeles and the Valley! I've spent several hours in this store because their selection is so massive, and they even have the Sneaker Machine where you can literally win several highly coveted kicks with a $5 game (yes you can win exclusive Jordans and Foamposites here for only $5 a game), there is a lot of fun things to do here. Also, their shirts and clothing are super trendy and they have several major clothing brands for sale here! For you Hypebeasts out there, they have you covered, they have every shoe you can imagine from Yeezys, to NMD's, to Ultraboosts, to Foams, to Jordan's, to Dunks, to exclusive shoe Collaborations, and every other sneaker you can think of. I'm definitely going to come back here for more and if you are looking for an honest consignment shop, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! For Buyers, you'll be protected knowing that you're buying the freshest and hottest kicks at a very good price and have peace of mind knowing all the kicks you buy from this place is 100% Authentic, as every inch of the shoe has been closely inspected by the owners to ensure you are buying legit sneakers :) Equvalence has one of the best prices out of all the consignment shops in LA and the Valley! And for Sellers, it's awesome because you'll leave with a more cash and more money compared to other consignment shops because they have percentages that favor the buyer when they sell your shoes! They pay you straight up cash when your shoes are sold here! It's awesome! They will definitely work with you to make sure you are happy with the pricing and all the logistics! I can't wait to go back to Equvalence :) read more

I used to be what they call a sneakerhead back in the day. I was guilty of buying shoes just to have them and never wearing. Long story short, I ended up with all of these shoes that have never been worn and not enough space since I keep buying shoes. I found Equvalence on yelp and drove over since it's not too far from me. Once I got there I had the pleasure of meeting Michelangelo and Jacob. I've never sold or consigned a shoe but they patiently explained how it all works and reassured me that my shoes would be in great hands. They're super tech savvy and you're notified of everything via email (when your shoe sells, how many shoes you have on consignment, how much you'll make from each shoe) making it really easy to keep track of everything. You just pay them 15% commission on new shoes and 20% on used. Super easy process and I was in and out really quickly. I'm bringing them all of my shoes that are taking up space in my house! They also have a lot of great shoes to check out and buy if you need any. This place is a little gem! read more
