Air Gordon
Air Gordon
Website: http://www.airgordons.com/servlet/StoreFront
The name sounds a little fugazi, but Air Gordon's site has been around before we were calling hypebeasts by their proper name. AG has you connected with old Js, new retros, and some random joints in between. In case you need a crewneck to go with the sneakers, the webstore is pretty well-rounded with streetwear too — your one-stop shop.
Flight Club
Flight Club
Website: http://www.flightclub.com/
If you know anything about resellers, you already know about FC. Yeah, the prices seem a little out of control at times but everyone has got to eat. Seriously though, you get what you pay for and you are paying for complete peace of mind that the shoe you are about to grab is 100 percent legit. Nothing worse than getting called out on the streets for rocking fake shit.
Flight Skool Shoes
Flight Skool Shoes
Website: http://flightskoolshoes.storenvy.com/
The homies at Flight Skool got the connect — reppin' Oregon to the fullest, the site has some rare Nikes and Jordans that you likely won't see in person and a good selection of recent releases you missed and nostalgic kicks you still need.
The Heat Check
The Heat Check
Website: http://theheatcheck.pinnaclecart.com/
The prices might have you shook, but when it comes to sneaker resellers you know that the product is raw and you aren't going to have to fight it out in (eBay) court if things don't happen right.
Holy Grail Goods
Holy Grail Goods
Website: http://www.holygrailgoods.com/
The Grails — it's a strong notion, but for the right price this site can make your sneaker dreams come true. Some resellers get product quick after it just releases and then they have nothing until the next hypebeast's wet dream. The Holy Grail Goods stays stacking dope kicks 365 — 366 on a leap year.
Kicks Crew
Kicks-Crew
Website: http://kicks-crew.com/
Kicks-Crew stocks heat you missed the first time around and also delivers the goods early. Suprisingly you can find some legit deals, compared to stalking eBay and Twitter — the shipping, on the other hand, might be more than you're used to.
Kix-Files
Kix-Files
Website: http://store.kix-files.com/
Another site across the globe that has a rep for a great pre-order system and lingering Nike runners and basketball shoes that you might have missed out on thanks to the craze in The States. You might want to bookmark this one, especially if you're into Air Max.
Kixclusive
Kixclusive
Website: http://www.kixclusive.com/
"All products for sale on our site are 100 percent authentic and brand-new in the original box." That seems standard, but a lot joints that sell kicks still rock the fake boxes, espeically if they got their hands on them a few weeks early. Kixclusive isn't half-stepping, always assuring the best products so you can rock your favorite shoes.
Kixify
Kixify
Website: http://www.kixify.com/
Brand new to the scene, Kixify is a collection of resellers all in one place from the same people who brought you Kicks on Fire. A few other sneaker sites have tried (no shots) but Kixify simplifies searches and trasactions so you can get in, get out, and get it.
Napsize
Napsize
Website: http://www.napsize.com/en/
You love Rifla? You can thank Napsize, the originator of Rifla's whole steez. The advantage here is people in other countries don't go quite as crazy over the same shoes over there so you might be able to pick up a few things your rotation has been missing.
OSneaker
OSneaker
Website: http://osneaker.com/
OSneaker has been one of the best sites for years and its player editions and heavy stock of classic kicks make it a go-to site if you're looking for anything exclusive or rare.

RIFLA
RIFLA
Website: http://rif.la/
Flight Club might have more pairs, but L.A.'s Rifla owns it in the price department. For now, anyway. Extremely fair, and they always have great new product coming in. The West Coast continues to show love.

Sole Control
Sole Control
Website: http://www.solecontrolphila.com/
If Wale messes with Sole Control, you know they are coming correct. The Philly spot typically will have just about anything you need in your closet and like other consignment shops the stock switches up on a daily basis.
Sole Elite
Sole Elite
Website: http://www.soleelite.com/
Elite usually speaks on power, talent, and wealth — this site doesn't disappoint. They have Jordans that every sneakerhead should have in the mix and some exclusives that probably sold out on retail websites in a matter of minutes.
Trusted Kicks

Uptempo Air
Website: http://www.uptempoair.com/
They carry a decent selection of Nike and Jordan stuff in their online shop, with older kicks popping up from time to time at very reasonable prices too. One of the better secrets in terms of the sneaker world, this site is a must-have in the favorites section.
Windy City
Windy City Sole
Website: http://windycitysole.myshopify.com/
Windy City Sole is seven years strong in the game, and Chicago knows a thing or two about kicks. Its customer service ranks among the best, and its another site that is fully stocked with greatness on the reg.
