    Don't park anywhere near their building - or better yet- don't go at all!!! Not only am I a loyal customer but I came to shop and parked in their parking lot. Shopped around the whole area and came back 1.5 hours later and the Nice Kicks had my car booted and I had to pay $100 fine. This business is stealing peoples money!!!!

    Look if you in Austin and need some fresh sneakers this is the place to be. The atmosphere is vibrant and clean, music playing has me doing a two step. The staff courteous and friendly plus knowledgeable of the sneaker culture. Support NICE KICKS and leave with a fresh pair.

    My wife and I stumbled into this place on a whim and it definitely didn't disappoint. The guy that helped us I'm sorry I forgot his name! Was very very nice and knowledgeable to boot, I asked him what they had that was rare and he pointed me towards the ZX 4000 which were really nice but not in my size =( I asked if they had off-white air max's because I took a major L on the SNKRS app and he said they didn't and explained why they didn't. (I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone know what the hell they are talking about) My wife ended up falling in love with the Rox Brown 1s, she wanted the Valentine's Day 1s as well, but again not in her size. I browsed as I do most shoe stores and saw the Nike Blazers that I had been looking for but again not my size...(why are you doing this to me God?) but as we were about to check out my wife said "I will not leave if you don't find something you're always so picky!" And I am lol and that's when I stumbled upon a section I had missed their New Balance section and found some awesome MSX90RCF that I don't think have even come out yet and bam I was sold. New Balance aren't very big in Texas but as an east coast kid, these are a big deal to me. If/when I come back to Austin (HTown stay down) I will definitely swing by Nice Kicks to see what they have. Thanks for an awesome experience!

    Asking for the $$$

    0 stars if possible. Never again would I ever spend my hard earned money at this store.. "Von", the Assistant manager, is the worse person to do business with ever in the shoe game. I sent him money back in mid December for some shoes. The guy just sent me my money back yesterday finally after I told him I would take my experience to corporate level.. Gave me the biggest run around for my money back. Came up with a new excuse every single day. I sent him (not even him, his cousin ((who's name is Von too )) $600 for the Yeichels and the Azaels.. (which I could've got for retail)... Then he tried saying I didn't send him enough money... He gave me the run around for over a month of me trying to get my money back!! Gave me excuse after excuse.. Then when I got my Yeichels, he said I couldn't return them at his store.. Not to mention the in store experience was mind boggling. The kids selection at the store is HORRIBLE and most of the shoes on the wall are EXTREMELY dirty. This is just all around a terrible store.. sucks this is the closest store to me that gets exclusive stuff. I stood there at the cash register while the employees talked crap about customers trying shoes on...

    Overpriced crap and if you don't buy anything they'll boot your car if you don't leave the area immediately.

    On the website it doesn't say what time the releases are, is there a specific time all releases are? In Austin texas, also how old do I have to be to buy drops?

    Most releases happen at 7am Pacific time.

    Good day, Wanted to…read morereach out and share my experience on a release by Sneaker Politics. There was an Air Max 95 Bandana Release on Saturday, during SXSW on 3/14. I got to the store at 9:30am and was greeted by a gentleman (smaller black guy with shades), who gave me the details of how the release was going to work. He granted me a wristband that had #3 on it. Door opened at 11 and majority of people got wristbands and lined up. Everyone lined up according to their numbers on their wristbands. With me being #3, I entered the store and bought the releases. I understand that it's a release, so I do understand one per person. When I walked out there was a Hispanic male outside who worked with the store giving out wristbands. I wanted to get my daughter a pair, so I asked could I get back in line grab another. The line was really long. I grabbed another wristband and was #76. I was told from that Hispanic male that o could get another but I had to go to the back of the line, which is what I did. I waited and waited until my turn. The line grew longer behind me. When I reached the registered, the same gentleman (black guy with braids) who checked me out the first time said I couldn't get about pair until everyone got a pair. He said if I wanted another pair then I needed to get out the store and wait back in line (which is what I did the second time and was #76). I showed him my green #76 wristband and he rudely said i needed to get back in line again to get another pair. I was not trying to argue, so I told him I'd do that but this was wrong. I was disappointed. The black guy in braids stated that he was the manager and there was nothing I could do to get another pair right then and there. I told him the guy with the wristbands said I couldn't get back in line. He said "the guy outside with the wristbands is a part time guy who doesn't matter to the store." He's not the manager, I am the guy to make the decisions." He was very rude! I walked out and got back in line AGAIN! When I got back in line, there were others who had got back in line who were in front of me and waited twice while it was my third time to wait in line for a 2nd pair. The line was long. A few guys had bags in front of me. Just made me feel upset and targeted. The line moved and I was now one guy away from the register. The guy in front of me also had a bag and pair in his hand that he bought earlier. But he didn't wait 3 times like me. When it was my turn, I told the managers in braids, "am I good now because I waited." He laughed and said he was the manager again. He gave me a speech about how he makes the calls and that I got the pair I needed. He said, "you got the pair you needed, right?" Very rude, while laughing, and it felt like he was really making fun of me. He then used profanity and mentioned that he needed to make his living. "You're not going to fucking stop me from making my money, you got your pair didn't you?" I didn't say anything, then I kindly mentioned I'm not going to argue, I just want to make a purchase and leave. He gave me my pair and checked me out. I kindly reached over to shake his hand or give him a dap. He laughed at me and didn't bother shaking my hand, so that's when I left. My experience with Sneaker Politics was very disappointing. All the other employees were great until I reached that gentleman. Very unprofessional, laughed at me, used profanity, and I'm sure he didn't have that conversation like that with other customers. I felt dumb and targeted but thankful I got me and my daughter a pair!

Staff were friendly and the overall ambiance was chill without being dull or overwhelming. Typical retail prices are to be expected, nothing too crazy. That said, I wish they would carry more unisex footwear in smaller sizes. I typically wear 6 women's and 4/4.5 in big kids. I prefer the latter due to better color-way variations. Solid spot to check out and try on the latest footwear.

My first attempt was a failure because I had to go to the bathroom urgently and they don't have one. I rushed to the La Condesa restaurant across the street who were kind enough to let me use theirs. I returned to the store and spent my sweet time picking out options. One of the things that caught me eye ended up being a top, not a skirt. Since I was there solo, and carrying a lot of my own stuff, I asked the fitting room attendant if he could help me if sizes weren't wrong. He did this two separate times and was lovely throughout the whole experience! I decided to go with a different top as the one pictured, and in the wrong size, but I needed that denim crop. I'l probably eventually sell it but the green skirt is going to be one of my new staples for sure The other store attendant who helped me with the shirt/not a skirt debacle ended up being the one at the cash register and gave me a big shopping tote to fit my new clothes, and the personal belongings I couldn't fit inside my North Face backpack.
