Wow, absolutely fantastic prices and selection at this store. Not only were the prices significantly lower than most outlets, they even had some hard to find shoes including some Jordans. If you wear an 11 and like Jordans they have the 29, 30 and 31 there. Unfortunately, they are too small for my feet, so it will be some lucky guy's day.
One of the ladies helped me find some retro Jordans and a couple other pairs of basketball shoes that fit. Their entire staff was on point helping people track down shoes in their sizes. Bought 3 pairs of basketball shoes for about $150 including two pairs of Jordans.
Nike needs to emulate this store at their outlets. Even if they can't get prices quite this low, the selection was the best I've seen at any Nike outlet in years. I rarely buy anything from Nike outlets or Nike any more because the selection is minimal, quality of merchandise is poor and usually limited to wild colors and high prices.
I used to be a huge Nike fan, but now only buy Under Armour clothing for much better quality (and usually better prices), and they're big supporters of the military and vets. Still like Nike shoes better, but their quality has really gone downhill. They use very little leather which leads me to wonder why when they're still charging high prices for very cheap components, and we all know they're not breaking the bank with what they pay people in the Vietnamese and Chinese factories. Even their Jordan brand items can be difficult to find with any decent quality.
Overall, I've gotten completely away from Nike for clothing because they can't compete with Under Armour on quality or price. UA is so comfortable and lasts for years.
For shoes, I still find some decent Nike basketball shoes every once in awhile...a long while. They don't make them like they used to. Unless you get the numbered Jordans, the quality has taken a nosedive. They're just cheap, cheap, cheap. Under Armour is getting better and is starting to give them a run for their money in basketball shoes.
For running shoes, I'm liking New Balance, Asics and a few others better.
At the end of the day, this appears to be one of the last Nike stores with a decent selection of quality basketball shoes at decent prices. Made me nostalgic for the good old days when Nike actually backed their prices up with quality merchandise. I highly recommend they emulate this store model and get back to providing quality at decent prices, or they're the next Reebok...charging high prices for ever cheaper quality. read more
