Tired of mainstream? Check the nichemarket with some rare and a lot of fresh kicks and gear.
I am Bobby Webster. I am just a fan of sneakers and streetwear in general. I have worked in a few different sides of the clothing business before opening NICHE. We opened up NICHE and launched the site in September of ‘05.
On our current site you will find some rotating images of the store, a news section and new arrival pics. Customers are able to find & purchase some of the merchandise that is available in our retail store in Charlotte, NC. We carry Nike, Adidas, Vans Vault, Creative Recreation, Gravis, PF Flyers, Alife, JB classics (Sept), 10 Deep, King Stampede, Staple, WESC, UARM, Stussy, Freshjive, PRPS denim, Edwin denim and more!
The motivation for the site was just to give people a view of the store and what we are about. One interesting feature we implemented on our site is a press / design page. In the year we have been opened I feel we have done a lot design wise. This includes different logos, ads and various promo materials. I really wanted to showcase what my designer friends have done.
Comment from us:
Fresh site, hot sneaker & gear. Keep it comin!
Sneakerzion.com is open since December, 2005. Lionel and I run the website. Basically, we started doing this because we’re sneaker addicts and basketball freaks.
We wanted to do something related with our passions we really love what we do. We’re french, respectively 28 years old for Lionel and 27 for me. In France, the sneaker culture is getting more and more important but we think we’re really the first french sneaker website to start selling exclusively online.
Sneakerzion has a pretty nice design. Just check. I guess you will agree.

Kix-Files online shop was established May 2005 and had since been updated twice to its current version.
All of our items are supplied by authorized dealers of respective brands in Hong Kong and Japan and are 100% authentic guaranteed. A large part of our inventory is dedicated to Nike footwear but we have expanded our selections to include toys and clothing as well.
We would like your input on other brands and items you would like us to include. All suggestions are welcome.

Sole Provider located in Sydney offers a range of sneakers from Nike, Adidas, and New Balance, including Air Max, Jordans, Dunks, SBs & plenty more.
Some words from the Sole Provider Crew:
My partner and I have been running Sole-Provider for about 3 years now. We started our business as we saw a real hole in the market in Australia as far as online sneaker stores go. Shipping to Australia is expensive, and local stores aren’t offered the range from the brands that larger countries get, so what we’ve tried to do is source sneakers heads in Australia are after from overseas and make them available locally. We’re still really the only site of our kind in Australia.
Isabella has sent us her review of Sole Provider:
Sole Provider stocks the best range of nike as their comprehensive range has styles from retro to contemporary. Sole Provider are fast delivers, good communicators and friendly people. Sole Provider: “Hows the weather up their Isabella?” Isabella: Very fair just like your prices 
Banned has all sorts of skateboarding stuff and a legit Nike SB account, and they go for almost retail.
My boss Chris Nunez actually runs the site. I’m honestly not sure how long the site has been up but I think more than a few years. I believe the motivation for this site was to get skateboarding stuff to people in places where there isn’t a skate shop anywhere near by, they could just get it sent to them. I think the site is special because it sells everything for a little cheaper than most sites, especially SBs. We just recently started selling SBs online this year but have had the account in the store since 2002. We try and sell them at decent prices so that it’s fair for everyone and no one has to pay a ton like other sites.

Comment from us:
Keep it up guys. Cool review and props that you try to keep the prices fair.
You’ll find pictures of our store as well as updated pictures of all new sneakers we get in.
The site is run by Mike Rios the Creative Director and its been up for about two years. The site was started to compliment the growing appeal of the store located on Walnut St. Center City, Philadelphia. The site is special because it is constantly updated and each time you visit, a picture of a different shoe is refreshed. Check it out!
