Weekend Sneaker Shopping on Long Island

Ray Y. — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 20:48:10 +0000

Coming fresh off our sneaker high at Sneaker Con the week before, we couldn’t go through a beautiful Memorial Day weekend without feasting our eyes on some more kicks. Being in the New York area, we decided to venture out East to see the kind of heat Long Island has to offer. Although the list of spots is not as extensive as any that one can experience in the Manhattan, it was certainly still worth the trek. Check out the pictures we took on our shopping trip.

We regret that we didn’t get a chance to check out Sneaker Bistro out in Patchogue but that certainly was next on our list. Hopefully we’ll make it out there for the the Nike Air Force 1 ‘Jones Beach’ Release Event.

List of shops and addresses are below as well, enjoy.

1. Sneaker Station – 156-30 Northern Blvd, Flushing, NY 11354 | Map

Prior to actually heading out to Long Island, we stopped by a jewel of a spot in Flushing, Queens. Sneaker Station on Northern Blvd carries all the releases of latest Jordans, Air Max and other basketball heat. The last time I was here I picked up a pair of Piston VI’s a week ahead of its release, been checking back ever since.

2. Sneakerology / Exit 36 – 2100 Northern Blvd., Manhasset NY 11030 Americana Manhasset Mall | Map

Tucked away in the slightly larger sneaker shop that shares its retail space, Exit 36 is another rare find on Long Island. While the name on the front door says Sneakerology, you will notice several feet into the store that to the left is a sneaker sweet spot named Exit 36. While Sneakerology caters to the more general audience, Exit 36 is where sneaker heads would find the kicks that is more fitting for their taste. They carry a decent line of Jordans, Af1, Dunks, and Air Maxes, along with several street wear and skateboarding brands. I remember being able to pick up a pair of Anniversary XI there, even days after its release, without a problem. Don’t let this one sit for too long though, the word is getting out, Exits 36’s got the goods!

3. Street Gear NYC – 245 Fulton Avenue Hempstead, NY 11550 | Map

After Exit 36, we headed toward Hempstead to Street Gear NYC. Though not technically in NYC, the stock they had was as impressive as some of its peers out in the city. As soon as you walk in you will notice a clear case to the right that’s devoted to the latest releases. Heading further in you will see a floor to ceiling display of sneakers all along the left wall. They also had a nice collection of fitted’s on the opposite side. Street Gear NYC is definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

4. Extra Butter – 266 Merrick Road Rockville Centre, NY 11570 | Map

We continued South on our journey to one of my personal favorites, Extra Butter. That place never fails to impress me with their awesome collection of kicks and tees. After chatting a bit with the guys there they let me in on the fact that they just got in a small restock of Anniversary XI’s! There was no way I could’ve turned that down, so I picked up an extra pair, at retail!

5. Westbury Sneakers – 621 Old Country Road Westbury, NY 11590-4511 | Map

Not far from Century 21 out in Westbury, I found this little shop across the Checkers that I was eating lunch at one time. I saw the name on the sign and couldn’t help but to check it out. Westbury Sneakers is a very local sneaker joint that carries most of the releases sneaker heads are after. Again, being a local shop, hot releases always have a potential of sitting on the shelves way past its drop date. I remember the last time I was there, they still had Eggplant and Copper Foamposites available. They were selling at a slight mark-up but definitely still better than any price you will find on the web.

6. Sneakers & Jeans – 146 Newbridge Road Hicksville, NY 11801 | Map

Our final stop of the afternoon was Sneakers & Jeans in Hicksville, NY. Once you walk into this corner shop, you are immediately drawn to the display of some of the rarest Jordans around. They had an assortment of OG’s and Retros that was simply breathtaking. R.C. and I was shocked to see some of the heat they had available. Within minutes we picked out several pairs that we wanted to see. However, much to our dismay, all of them were for display purposes only! I must admit it was rather disappointing. We were a bit discouraged but nevertheless, they still had a very nice assortment of kicks that were very impressive, along with a nice number of AF1’s. R.C. left wondering how much we would’ve spent there if those OG’s were actually for sale. I guess we will never know.

Sneaker Con May 2010 – Event Recap

Ray Y. — Mon, 24 May 2010 03:32:23 +0000

After a great experience in January, the team here at SneakerListing.com and the Sneakers Application on Facebook was definitely not going to miss the latest edition of Sneaker Con in New York City. Housed in a 10,000+ square feet gymnasium in downtown Manhattan, the amount of premium kicks on display was nothing less than incredible. As usual, the collection of vendors that came out carried some of the sickest heat that you will ever find in a single venue, and we certainly didn’t hold anything back either. Biggups to Mike and the team at CitySole, Yu-Ming Wu, John and Aaron at Sneakernews and Freshnessmag, Carlos at SneakGeekz.com, Alan from Sneaker Con, Simon and Franz from GentlemenKnow.com and Danny at Kixclusive. It was awesome catching up and chilling with you and your crews.

Below are all of our event pictures and video that we took from the event yesterday, courtesy of our resident photographer Vince.

March 6th Release Showdown

Ray Y. — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:28:27 +0000

With the flurry of highly anticipated sneakers that have already released in 2010, some of us are probably seeing the hole in our wallets burning wider and wider (myself included), and it’s only February! So we’ll have to choose wisely as we are faced with yet another round of some serious heat come March. Two of the more sought after shoes to drop next month are the Jordan 6 Rings Motorsports 25th Anniversary and the Foamposite One Eggplants. Having both drop in the same month is already pressure enough, but the fact that they’re releasing on the same day, oh the humanity.. This leads us to pose the below question, alot of you have already made up your minds I’m sure, but let us know!

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

January Newsletter – Sneakers 2.0: Selling your sneakers using Facebook & Twitter

Ray Y. — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 15:01:20 +0000

How to sell your sneakers using the power of Facebook & Twitter

One of the things that most people are intrigued about SneakerListing.com is how well the site integrates with Facebook, the most popular social network in the world today. Here are just some of the ways SneakerListing.com differs from other sneaker classifieds websites and marketplaces:

1. Each new listing that is added is immediately get posted to every sneaker page on the Sneakers Application on Facebook. This is done in real-time meaning anyone that uses the Sneakers Application immediately sees your listing.

2. Each listing provides you easy sharing links to post to your Facebook. For example, there is a link called “Facebook Share”, when clicked the following window will come up. By sharing, you are advertising your item on the newsfeeds of all your friends on Facebook. Also, there is a “Share on Twitter” link on each listing that allows you to quickly tweet your listing. The name and link of the listing is filled in automatically and all you need to do is click Update. Give it a try!

3. Each listing that is posted on SneakerListing.com is also posted on the Sneakers Application’s fan page, as well as our other profiles and pages. That means each time you list something with us, it will hit the newsfeeds of over 10,000+ people on Facebook. The same is also done on Twitter.

As you can see, aside from being 100% free, SneakerListing.com incorporates marketing functionality that’s never been seen before on a sneaker marketplace, making full use of the social networks that you already use.

Sneaker Con 2010 Recap

Ray Y. — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:40:21 +0000

Sneaker culture once again flexed its muscles yesterday at Sneaker Con 2010 and it was certainly alive and kicking. I was fortunate enough to get a table for SneakerListing.com and the Sneakers Application at the event. I met some awesome people while my eyes feasted on some of the rarest kicks NYC had to offer. The venue was big enough to hold the estimated 800 guests that came through and the DJs were spinning some way back joints that I couldn’t stop moving to. Couple that with having an opportunity to tell everyone about our web services, I was certainly in sneaker heaven for one day. Biggups to Yu-Ming at SneakerNews & Freshnessmag.com, Carlos from SneakGeekz, Allan from Sneaker Con, Evan from NiceKicks and Greg from CultureShoq.

Below are some pictures of the event. For those of you who missed it make sure you stop by the next one because it can only get bigger from here.
