I was visiting NC for work and made it a point to stop into the local Social Status to see what the hype was about. After seeing the store on sneaker shopping on Complex the place has a cool vibe from the moment you walk in. Can't say enough about the staff. Presently greeted and I appreciated they treated all customers with that extra sense they wanna help but not so pushy you feel like your space is invaded lol!! (You know what I mean) The staff saw some items I was interested in and went above and beyond to find other similar styles that may have not been on display for me to see. My overall experience was outstanding and I visited 3 times during my 2 weeks stay. Don't have to be a hypebeast to get great help and respected from the staff. I thought it would have a stuffy vibe because some heat is straight money!!! But if you wanna drip then that's the price you pay. Better then paying resale!! Would highly recommend and I picked up a couple drippy BBC shirts which cannot he found at home in CT. Keep up the great customer service!! read more

See all

Absolute worst customer service from a company I have ever dealt with in my life. They are con artists. Both times I have shopped there, I've gotten damaged products. The customer service reps don't care when you finally get a response. It took me 5 days to even get a response, which was to just tell me they don't care and I'm out of luck. My last order multiple items got canceled because they oversold, still haven't been refunded. What shirts they did send me arrived wadded up loose in a box that was open & severely damaged. The shirt had stains all over it. I don't know how this place stays in business with the way they treat customers. I'd advise anyone considering buying from here to look for a more reputable business to purchase from. This place will rip you off and treat you like dirt while doing it read more

Title: Disappointing Experience - Scuffed Shoes, No Resolution I purchased shoes from Social Status but they arrived with noticeable scuffs. Despite contacting customer support, no resolution was offered. Disappointed with the lack of care and unhelpful response. read more

Don't get me wrong, I love shopping at social status but the customer service here has just gone downhill. When I first started shopping at this location it was great, always found something that I liked, employees would help out and it was a smooth transaction. Now your lucky to even get a hey when you walk through the door. They don't great you, ask if you need help, nothing. I hope this changes because the brands and quality of the clothes are excellent, just wished the customer service matched! read more

I ordered in item online and it took 1 month for delivery. Came thrown in a box with no tissue paper or bag protecting contents. Something I would expect from eBay or individual seller not a store. read more

Garbage customer service. They sent the wrong item, and as soon as I provided the photos that documented it, they ghosted me. No info on exchange. No info on refund. Will not shop there again and in contact with credit card company to claw back the money they kept. read more

I ordered a clothing item from Social Status but they sent a different item. I sent an email requesting that they send the correct item. I got no response. I called the Charlotte store and was told to send another email with my request. Again, no response. I called again and was told that I would receive a response from "customer service" by the end of the week. Again, no response. Should I receive satisfaction from them, I will certainly amend this post but I'm not holding my breath. read more

Social Status opened in late 2011 on Central Avenue amidst the cluster of vintage stores. This is the company's first Social Status location, the second one is in downtown Pittsburgh, PA, and adds another layer of hip to the already cool Central Avenue. It is the type of place where music, art, and fashion collide with pop-culture. The store looks like a white box which contrasts strongly with the masculine colors of the clothes and with the old patina of the antique and vintage stores nearby. At first glance, this shop seems to outfit the male cast members of MTV's show The Jersey Shore, but if you get past that initial perception that it is only an urban or Guido-esque club-wear shop there are many good men's clothes with plenty of style. If you are the hardcore preppy type this place might not be for you, on the other hand if you want to add some bling to your wardrobe then this is the place to spice you up. The selection is very well edited and they carry limited-editions, collaborative items, and hard-to-find brands. This is the type of clothing that you won't find in a mall. In addition, the sneaker selection is superlative exemplar. They also carry Pharrell Williams' Billionaire Boys Club label, but my biggest surprise was the selection of Rei Kawakubo's Japanese playful Comme des Garçons Play line. They even have those cool Comme des Garçons X Converse sneakers which according to the salesperson were priced at $125. These are the same shoes that sell at the Opening Ceremony store in NYC. So, kudos for Social Status for carrying items on par with such cool establishments. Prices run the gamut from reasonable to pricey especially with some of the designer limited-edition pieces. Hats are priced around $35.00, while T-shirts go for about $50.00 to $110.00 range. Some might find it excessive to pay $110 for a T-shirt by Comme des Garçons Play while others might not bat an eye-lash over it. Coats are several hundred dollars depending on cut and fabric. However, their sales are good and are worth the wait. My only issue with this store is that their website does not have online shopping right now, but according to their site it's coming soon. When probed the sales staff about a possible launch date, they were not able to give anything concrete. Nonetheless, they do show their items online in a cool editorial way, but sometimes I don't have the time to shop in a brick-and-mortar store. When they fix that, I will give them a five star rating. Other than that, this store has loads of clothes that can be incorporated into any man's wardrobe, regardless of their dominant style of choice. Go on give it a shot! read more

Social Status - Social Status' lit window display. - Sports Wear Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Would give zero star if possible, this company dint matter which location is f-ing bs. I purchase two items from them online. Had to return them because it's didn't fit. They fucking charge a restocking fee for each item at almost 35% of the total cost of the item. Imagine losing $200 for two items if your total cost is $600. Don't buy from them online or in store. read more

I bought a pair of penny 2 socialstatus sneakers off there sight and they where 200 dollars I expected the same quality as if I bought a pair of Nikes but that was not the case they literally look like fakes just terrible i tried contacting them via phone did not work but they did respond to an email I sent them pictures and they told me they didn't qualify for a return so apparently they are okay will selling trash needles to say be careful what you guy from them terrible experience first and last read more

There should be a way to give this Charlotte location a zero. I visited this location with my spouse and two teen children in an attempt to purchase something for them. Whoever the then empty story (1 gentleman completing a purchase and the employees) I guess prompted the short (5ft 6 maybe) medium complexion women to walk past me after I stumbled near the front plant and locked the door. I verbalized oh wow I didn't notice that there, she said nothing then walked back behind the counter. I told my children to look and see if they liked anything while I completed a message on my phone. Unfortunately they weren't interested in anything and the fact that it felt to me this was a self service store.(No one talked at all) I guess if we found something we would have had to get them, ring them up package them and then unlock the door to leave ourselves. While this is sarcastic this was extremely disrespectful, rude and unprofessional. The gentleman that had completed his purchase had to wait (confused as to why he had to wait) until I said let's go. We stood at the door for another 5 mins before she unlocked the door. This type of treatment is completely unacceptable, spending money within an establishment that doesn't value the customers will never happen from me. read more

I bought (online) their Adidas Superstar Boost collab with SneakersNStuff. Issue 1. Was the weeklong shipping to me in California. Two days shipping is becoming table stakes. A week? #Terrible Issue 2. I received someone else's shoes. The same type, but wrong size. The other person's packing slip was inside the box. Issue 3. I called the store and was told to e-mail. I did e-mail in the morning and didn't receive a response till the next business day (four calendar days later) and the e-mail was a link to a page on their website for returns. That page doesn't seem to be available anywhere else of their site if it was, I would have utilized it, rather than calling them in the first place. In addition, I didn't just want to return my shoes, I wanted the actual size I ordered. Ultimately I ended up going to a local retailer (Undefeated in San Francisco) and buying the shoes in my size from them and then selling the misrouted/wrong to someone else. I'll never do business with Social Status again. read more

So I don't look like your regular sneaker head as I walk in, me in my leather loafers looking at the latest shoe to cop. I have to say these guys here showed nothing but love. Amazing guys to talk to who, obviously know their product. This place was a recommendation from another store on where to find some rare stuff, I can't thank that guy enough for this tip. If you want a good place to pick up those hard to find kicks, this is the place. Want to thank all 3 guys who dropped what they were doing to answer all my questions, you just gained a loyal customer for life! Keep on rocking guys!!! read more

Stopped in my son who has a new passion for sneakers and daughter. This type of store isn't really my style and I was a little worried it would be very intimidating. Our experience was completely the opposite. Everyone was so helpful, especially Chris who introduced himself to all three of us and shook our hands. They helped both of my kids find sneakers and made it a great time for all of us. read more

Oof - this one was rough. Was visiting Charlotte from out of town and bought a pair of shoes here. I drove home 4 hours and got back only to find that when I opened my new shoe box, there were two completely different sneakers in the box. Called the store and they said I could send them back, and they would then send back the right pair. When I went to ship back the sneakers, it cost me $20. The manager stated he would not reimburse me since I could not "drive back to the store myself"... so they wanted me to drive back 4 hours to correct their mistake on my time and money? This was the store's fault in the first place. Completely pathetic and unprofessional - will not be a returning customer. read more

Went in last minute from out of state. Everyone was awesome. No one breathing down your neck, but they were there ready to help right away, if we needed anything. Grabbed some Bape while we were there. If you don't see your size in something, they have more in the back so always ask. Nice selection of kicks and hypebeast apparel. Glad to hear they have another store in Atlanta. I'll be stopping in. read more

Terrible customer service. Cancel order without notice and had to call them a week later to find out where my order was to even be told it was cancelled. They back door orders yet they will cancel your order if you checkout too fast.. hypocritical.. read more

This is the worst "nice" store I've ever been to. Don't even sell any designer brands, I'm not sure how theyve kept it up with their ridiculously priced items that aren't even worth a shit compared to, u know, DESIGNER ITEMS that they're supposed to sell... don't go here if you're looking for something nice. Even as a gift. read more

this is my 2nd favorite store in Charlotte. (Blacksheep gets a slight nod) But I do love this place. Clothing and sneakers are 2 things that I cannot live without, and Social Status has the best selection (in Charlotte) of the brands that I like. If you're looking for BBC, Lebron X Corks, Yeezy 2s, or the latest limited edition Nikes or Jeremy Scott x Adidas this is where you go. I wouldn't even know where to get that stuff elsewhere in CLT. House of Hoops and DTLR don't get the limited edition stuff that Social Status gets. Your next best bet is online probably. The store's layout and vibe is pretty cool and there's a great selection of apparel, shoes and hats. It's tough to say no. I will say that the customer service is kind of hit or miss. I've been in there on a number of occasions (one of my best friends lives down the road from there) and sometimes the staff is great and sometimes not so much. Never awful, but average at times. And in my opinion customer service is extra important when you're one of the little guys; When you're a boutique, small business, or local shop it's crucial to be good to your customers, especially your repeat/loyal ones. And that's why BlackSheep gets 5 stars from me and Social Status doesn't. At Blacksheep I go for the whole shopping experience: the merchandise, the atmosphere, the staff. At Social Status I go there for the merchandise alone. read more

This place is wack, you order online and can't receive shipment because of out of state and they charge $50 plus shipping as a re stocking fee. You never had my business and never will again. Very bad experience. The most horrible return policy ever. Don't do business with these rip offs read more

Fake raffles all they do is backdoor shoes. I use to care and talk big about this store now i just need people to know the truth.

every company has bad reviews. thisis a great one. ordered the dream a world foamposites. said it would take 7-10 days to ship. it was delivered within a week. people complained about the packaging..... my shoes came in a tamper proof box. perfectly wrapped,and inside was a box in perfect condition with a pair of shoes in perfect condition. exactly what i wanted. kudos guys read more

This is a premium streetwear shop! Excellent brand selection. Ambush. OffWhite. Human Made. Bape. Nudies! I named just a few. Staff was super nice and knowledgable. Oh and they played dope music. North Carolina. read more

I've Had The Worse Experience at Social Status Charlotte Location. I Was Shopping in There One Day This week And I Tried On Some Adidas NMD's The sales Associate Gave Me One Sneaker To Try On Which Was The Right Foot Shoe. They Held The Left Shoe In The Box Behind The Counter. So I Never Held The Left Shoe Nor Seen The Left shoe. The Right Shoe was A Perfect Fit so We Went Forward With The Purchase Of The Sneakers. As I Got Home I Opened The Sneaker Box To Notice That The Left Sneaker Was Torn. I Called Them Right Away Just for them to say They will Call Me Back. Which They Never Did, So I ended Up going Back To the store Later That week To Speak To someone. I was Told when I Arrived that They aren't Doing RETURNS. They Called SELLING ME A DEFECTIVE SNEAKER A "RETURN". I'm Disgusted in Their Customer Service. I Spent 235.95 Dollars in There and they Sold ME A DEFECTIVE Shoe. Now I'm Being Told ITS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I'm not Going To Take This Loss EASY. It's A Whole Pandemic And I WILL NOT BE OUT OF MY 235.95 dollars read more

Never shop here. They like to fake raffles and keep the best shoes for themselves. I would never trust this store. Not fair to people who waste there time going to the store to register for the raffle. read more

have bought a ton of shoes here over the past year. if your in the shoe game you know you have to come back to a place a bunch of times to find your joint. That said, the service here sucks and has steadily decreased since top dog manager Mike (from jersey or something) left. I think my shopping spree's here have all but come to an end. crappy inattentive service makes visiting this place a drag. read more

My boyfriend found this place one day in 2012. Ever since this this where he gets most of casual outfits and shoes. The customer service is awesome and everyone is very helpful...thats a big plus with me, because I will forgo returning any business if Im not treated well. They have a great selection of trendy and one of a kind clothing for men. read more

Stopped in the other day with some friends visiting from out of town, thought it'd be nice to explore the trendy, artistic and funky side or neighborhood of Charlotte known as Plaza Midwood. While strolling down the street and checking out other businesses, we paused at Social Status and decided to peek in. The place has a cool layout, nice hardwood floors, shoe walls, sock and hat displays and hanging racks of pants and shirts. No two items are the same. Threads are definitely unique. Store is definitely boutique style, stuff you won't find easily replicated and worn by others. However, you well definitely pay the price for it. Sneakers were priced around $160-180, the few that I looked at, and shirts and pants were similarly priced between $50-125 each, which is not what I call very reasonable in my book. Most of the sizes I saw were mediums and larges.. my question is if they have one item on display, do they have the same item in varying sizes in the back? Or is it, you see what you get? For Charlotte, I was kinda shocked that a boutique with this clothing style existed.. but as far as urban styles and pricing, I'd rather shop online at dr jays or visit a boutique in a larger city... I couldn't see myself paying that much for one item. Cool place to browse though. As far as customer service, we got a hello and goodbye, but for the most part he was tied up with his friends and since they've never laid eyes on us before they gawked.. immature move but, beyond our control. read more
