    Finally took the time to stop by the store. Amazing selection! I picked up a pair of dunks I've been wanting but never pulled the trigger online. Beautifully organized and well laid out shop. Jon was super cool and helpful. Will definitely be back to support local!

    First time stopping by and of all shoe stores on the island by far the best customer service! Shop is clean, atmosphere is amazing!! You ever walk into a luxury store and you feel unwelcome? Well not here. John treats everyone equal.... Kick butt dude! Thank you so much if I could give more stars I would haha. Stopped by to only look around, left with two pairs of shoes. We will for sure be back!

    This is my first time here as I live in Las Vegas. Just gotta say, The shoe game here is strong!!! I mean wow from the time you get in the store, you are blasted with shoes, shoes and more shoes. Jordan's, adidas, Yeezy just to name a few. They have some rare shoes and some really great prices. I have a serious love for Jordan's they have a great selection here. Yes I picked up a pair! I'm sure that you will find something for you, whatever shoe you fancy. On to the service, John is super cool and helpful. All questions answered and willing to point you in the right direction of shoes that you are Looking for. If you see a shoe you like grab them sizes are sure to go fast. Stop by Truest and check them out. If you grab a pair or two you might get asked for a photo for the Instagram page! I think mine is up there... lol

    What the dunk, Travis Scott and Off-White?!?
    Jenn H.

    Being a Sneakerhead, I had to go in and check it out. They got a grail wall! Because of their grail wall, you can tell it's no joke. So much Travis Scott goodness! The selection is great, but for Cinderella's feet, it's a bit harder on the Nike side, but for Yeezys, a lot! Consignment- I would call or email ahead of time, especially if you're from the mainland! Me? I probably would have rolled in with my DS dunks, but nah. I'm here on vacation, not to sell! You do need to buzz to get in, but they kinda rolled the red carpet out and just buzzed me in before I could even reach the button. I blame the Panda dunks on my feet. John, the owner is a chill dude! We did talk a lot about sneakers and he was trying to help me find my size. I did request that we have some gloves available to make sure the shoes are clean when we touch them. (Sneakercon mentality). He speaks my language on shoes! We did joke how the SNKRS gods were not nice to me on the off-whites. Since he's the only guy at the counter, be nice! He tries to give everyone attention! I would say if you're a Sneakerhead on vacation in Hawaii, this is the only place that packs heat to the point where they don't need fire dancers.

    Great shop! Loved stopping by and talking with the owner, John! In town from Atlanta and was very pleased with the great selection....and even a few options in GS sizes for me! Lots of options for my husband, too! Highly recommended if you're in town or even a local. While you're there, be sure to pick up some of their no-slip socks. Those things are legit and really stay in place much bette than anything I've ever purchase on the market. Great music, dope atmosphere and even better decor - 5 stars all around!!

    I have lots of respect for individuals who transform their beautiful dreams into reality; it takes a tremendous amount of commitment & courage to create a business around your dreams. Even though, I own exactly one pair of kicks, I was immediately drawn to TRUEST Hawaii because of their impressive display of sneakers & their section of cell phone accessories + jewelry created by the owner's wife. TRUEST Hawaii is the first consignment, shuffle, buy, & sell sneaker location in Hawaii; their selection of kicks is a sneakerhead's dream come true. TRUEST Hawaii has wall-to-wall shelves overflowing with bright, great condition, rotating collection of kicks. If you're a sneaker head, searching for your first pair of kicks or interested in a quality sneaker consignment, Truest Hawaii is your go to shop. There's no pressure to purchase anything & I'm positive the individual who purchases your kicks will feel fresh to death. Follow TRUEST Hawaii for newest additions to the consignment & upcoming events no sneakerhead wants to miss.

    Great store! Kids loved it. I just went along for the ride. My niece was visiting from Cali and she wanted to pick up a toy for her brother. She got to the register and got another one for free! Love those perks and great customer service. We'll definitely be back again.

    One of the sickest releases of 2016 (acronym presto & Truest didn't have it)
    Jun N.

    As a fan of the sneaker game, the mere existence of stores like "Truest" are exciting because they provide a local 3rd party hub for sneakerheads & casual shoppers to buy, sell, and trade their grails and beaters without relying on sites like eBay or Craigslist. Of course sustaining a consignment venture such as this requires mark-up and relationship building, but "Truest" has placed a much greater amount of emphasis on the mark-up side of the business and a lot less on the relationship building side. "Urban Necessities" in Las Vegas is the best example of what a true sneaker consignment shop should be, where the prices and consignment should be driven to serving the people at the best of their ability. "Truest" is obviously trying to make as much money as they can while putting in the least amount of work and effort. The store has minimal interaction, no one greets you, no one asks you what you're looking for, no one even glances your way. As a whole the store feels cluttered and unwelcome, surrounded by shoes that you know by name and love, but are set at prices not only beyond your reach, but that you wouldn't be willing to pay anyway because they are cheaper on urbannecessities.com (while Truest.com has been in the works for 3+ years). All In all I love the store because it represents a passion for the sneaker game that I too share, but I am heart broken by the lack of passion for the sneaker community and the desire to "give back" that Truest lacks. #overpriced&underserviced

    TRUEST - Consignment, Shuffle, Buy
    Marty O.

    To John C or whoever you are - clearly, this is not the store for you nor is it in your budget, perhaps? If you were an enthusiast for authentic, hard to find sneakers and basketball shoes, maybe you could appreciate what Truest is all about. Instead you waste your time in creating a fake Yelp user name to bash a brilliant idea served especially for the local community. It's obvious that you're a hater. FYI - TRUEST, by definition means consistent with fact or reality; not false or erroneous; reliable, genuine and accurate. John C (or, whoever you are), sorry that you couldn't put two and two together. Again, instead you're a hater. TRUEST is a breath of fresh air -- this is what Hawaii has been waiting for, FINALLY! Consignment, shuffle and buy -- plus new shoes on the shelves as well! In my opinion, I would feel 150% more comfortable spending my money ($$$$) on shoes I actually get to see, feel and try on. So far, I've heard much positive thoughts and support within the local community about TRUEST. Everyone, let's continue to support local businesses!!

    Big selection of limited / or sold out elsewhere kicks.

Is now the biggest support for our soles as I remember shopping here for my shoes when I was very little was very surprise to see that they have survived all the big shops filled with styles that many crave for though I must admit that I haven't been there in decades until having feet problems and my podiatrist suggested picking up some support for my sad and aching feet. Located on the ground floor of University Plaza which is right behind Raising Cane's on South King Street and the entrance is easiest on Kuilei St as University Ave can get very busy with traffic. You can see their sign right below the staircase though I accidentally walked into a vape shop lol Uyeda is located right beside it. Walking in I can instantly tell it's not at all what it used to be though it's so nice and clean and very organized a lady came out to greet me and find out what I was looking for and for me to describe what foot issues I have as I was told that many bartenders and various working folks that are on their feet constantly are regulars here. Seeing a rack with Oofos and Hoka shoes just to name a few are all known for comfort. As I found the insoles and suggestions it's the place to come for Black Friday she says as everything is 20% off and as these shoes are pricey the value of your feet as it's the foundation of it all is worth every penny. Thank you!

I have boxes of Damiani, Naturalizer, Italian, Callisto, and Athena Alexander shoes, and usually the same style in at least two colors. The convenient location, reasonable prices ($19 and upwards, typically in the $45-$59 range), and variety of styles make this an ideal place to shop for the working girl, hmm... let me rephrase... make that "business professional woman." If you work in downtown, you have probably already stopped by on your lunch break to chat with the owner while she helps you navigate the myriad of boxes to find the right size for you. She does buying trips several times a year and brings back the latest styles. If you're a common size, you may have to wrestle with another customer for the shoe, so the best thing is to ask the owner when the new styles are coming in and plan accordingly. Have fun!

    Yelp Ghost, you're killing me!!…read more Since my previous review disappeared, I'll write this new review based on three of my most recent visits. I was looking for a new walking and running shoe so I immediately went to Food Locker at Ala Moana Center. They are located on the top floor across Hoka. Since my sister swears by Hoka and I recently bought my dad a pair of Hoka's, I looked at that section first. My cousin recommended a brand called ON so I also checked that section out after. Now I could compare them myself. I picked a pair from each brand and a SA named Joshua helped me. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about both brands. Joshua offered exceptional customer service. He didn't take long to bring out my size to give them a try. I personally didn't care for how the Hoka's made me feel. It felt like a rocking motion but maybe I need to acclimate to them? The ON pair was extremely light and very comfortable. It was a hard decision so I told Joshua I would think about it and come back. I ended up coming back to pick up the ON shoes another day. He was working so he was able to assist me with bringing the pair out for me to purchase. They offer you to join their FLX rewards program and to do a survey of your visit. With Joshua's excellent customer service, I made sure to do it. To my surprise, I received a $10 gift certificate to use on my next purchase after completing the survey. It came in handy as I wanted to get my father-in-law a pair before we flew out to visit my in-laws. Of course my dad wants a pair too lol. Great option to purchase sneakers, socks or sports apparel.

    Shoe shopping…read more.. This gal isn't really a shoe shopper but my feet is always in desperate need for a comfortable pair and I've been relying on Foot Locker for that though at one point they had great selection for women as I've always came here versus the Women's Foot Locker which sadly has closed now find that the selection here for my personal preference is meh! The staff here is great as they greet you but I'm a browser and do need time to look so I don't mind that solidarity and to think through the prices as well though sometimes have the need to ask for their knowledge and suggestion which is something we all should do especially mine is mostly for work. Their insoles are a great item to keep in mind...get them and keep the receipt with the box because once they wear out it's use you can have them replaced for free as most time the insoles wear out before the shoe so you don't have to purchase another if it's in good condition and offers like this is wonderful new to keep my feet happy. Thank you!
