Nike Running

Been here a handful of times to see what new running gear Nike has to offer. It’s an actual Nike store so prices are pretty steep imo. Outlets are the way to go for me if you aren’t one of those that need to have the newest things out. As for the store, it is very organized and has a range of running items. The «athletes» aka workers are pretty helpful. They are young so they are super serious and can help you choose what you need. The Pasadena Nike Run store used to have weekly running activities with the Nike Team but recently, they have not had any events in Pasadena. Kind of a bummer because most of the events are in SaMo or the Grove so people living in the 626 have to drive out there instead of having one closer. But back to the store, the gear is plentiful and pretty much has everything. The store in conveniently located on Colorado so you can pop on in while perusing the other stores or grabbing a meal.
Looking forward to having the NIke Running events again… I hope.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLACE?! Ive been to DOZENS of Nike stores, from outlets to Niketowns and this is BY FAR the WORST Ive been to. I walked in the store, expecting to see a LARGE, SPACIOUS, 2 STORY Nike store. What I saw was a TINY, CRAMPED store the size of a broom closet. I walk in with $ 150 Nikes on my feet and a Nike sweater. Two employees standing there when I enter DONT EVEN GREET ME as I pass them. I guess they knew I was NOT going to find ANYTHING WORTH BUYING there and didn’t even want to waste their breath saying hello. I look at the SMALL selection of running shoes and then it hits me: THEY ONLY SELLL RUNNING SHOES! Where the HELL are the JORDANS? Whers’s the CROSS TRAINERS? What about FOOTBALL shoes? NADA! ZIP! ZILCH ! ZERO ! The ONLY thing they sell is those EXTRA TIGHT pants runners (and strippers) wear and a MINIMAL SELECTION of running shoes! The manager was ASS KISSING some lady who was trying on shoes, so he did nt greet me either. Im walking through the store like im a F ING GHOST or something, because NO ONE said ONE WORD TO ME! Even if I DID want some nut hugger shorts or tight ass pants, I WOULD NOT GO THERE for it! Hopefully Nike CLOSES that CRAPPY store and turns it into a NIKE TOWN. WHAT A DAMN SHAME!!!

The floor sales associate was very helpful and gave me some good tips on which shoe style would benefit me the most.

As I’m looking to add some cardio into my routine, I need quality shoes that will last me many miles. I came in here to look for new running shoes and to check out their apparel.
I was impressed by their variety They having all kinds of running shoes: casual long distance running, lighter weight shoes for competition, etc. They had a vast array of athletic clothing, which I will also need as it’s chilly early mornings and late evenings. I usually don’t run in the middle of the day. They didn’t have too much headgear, but I usually don’t wear hats when I run anyway.
The staff was very friendly, and helped me sort through their wide assortment of merchandise. Now I have a good idea of what I’m looking for as far as running apparel is involved.

What’s up with this place? I’ve never seen a place so terrible ! Me and my friend waited literally almost half an hour just to do an exchange because the staff was so incredibly unorganized. They were scattered all over and kind of migrated towards each other. It was so weird. No one staff member stuck to their customer. The manager herself seem to be lost because nobody knew how they would do the exchange. When we were finally able to do the exchange, the manager and her employee were attempting to override the price and couldn’t figure it out. They proceeded to ask if the tax was calculated differently at their location in Pasadena… As if the local outlet store tax was different… And they couldn’t add or subtract the correct amount to override. I’m never coming back to this place.

Love my new Nikes and I love the service! Can’t go wrong with their shoes, always comfy and stylish.

3.5 Stars
I’ve been to this new Nike Running location a few times now. Most of the time I browse and leave unimpressed, feeling they don’t stock their best selections and don’t carry some of the better items they offer online or at larger stores.
Today however they had a bunch of their new Fall running items and a few other Training line tops and pants on hand that we’re really cute!
I’m certainly not loyal to Nike for my running gear needs. I definitely wouldn’t recommend Nike in terms of footwear for any real running over Asics or Brooks so I tend to skip the shoe section although they probably have some great tennis on hand for different needs.
When it comes to quality however, I do think Nike has items I can stand behind, that hold up for many years through wash and wear. I notice a few of their tops can chaff in distance (usually over 20 miles) running but they are definitely great quality items that hold up longer than my lululemon wear which can cost about the same.
The staff is friendly enough. I wouldn’t rule out stopping in here to browse their selection but wouldn’t count on finding something since the selection is a bit iffy. They’re a great addition to old town Pasadena.
Now I need a good 1k gift card for Fall running/​gear essentials after my most recent visit today.

I dropped by the Nike store a few hours ago and found the perfect pair of running shoes. All in all It was a good experience. First off, the service was excellent. I wasn’t an easy customer and tried 6 pairs before making my final decision, but the staff (George, I think) was extremely patient with me and made good suggestions throughout.
They have a treadmill where you can run for a few minutes to have them analyze your step. I thought I stepped fairly neutral, turns out I tend to slightly over-​pronate. I’ve always wanted to have my run analyzed and was glad that they had the tools on hand.
The selection was good. It looks like they carry every Nike running shoe with about 3 color combinations each + some trail shoes and a few casual selections. They also have the full line of running bottoms, tops and some spiffy new reflective gear I hadn’t seen at other stores. You can’t compare their selection to a place like dicks or sports authority who carry shoes from dozens of brands. But if you’re a Nike fan like I am, it really doesn’t matter.
I’m puzzled by some of the poor reviews. I had stopped in once before tonight and both times I’ve been in the staff was friendly and attentive.
Final note: This store is not for everyone.
Think of it like buying your iPhone directly from the Apple Store instead of Best Buy or T-​Mobile.
The staff here know more about Nike gear than anyone else. They can also advise you about running routine and even host group runs. It’s a premium experience that costs only a few bucks more than other shops.
I’ll be back in 500 miles for my next pair.

Awful. The service is bad and the manager is totally ineffective. Selection overall is decent.

I suppose everyone writes reviews based on their particular experiences, which is completely fair — but I’m so surprised to see the low-​ish reviews. The two experiences I’ve had here were perfectly fine.
First of all — the storefront says «Nike Running» so I’m not sure why people are confused about the smaller selection. It’s equivalent to being sad that a women’s clothing store doesn’t have men’s clothes. Though the Unilocal title needs to get updated for sure. Though, I waited in line once to get to the H&M in Pasadena when it opened only to be greeted by a stampede of tube-​tops, dresses, and purses. Not a men’s outfit in sight… that was kinda sad… Yea.
ANYWAYS, in regards to pricing — it’s Nike…
Yes, there are other stores down the street with different choices/​prices but, truly, you should come into a Nike Store knowing the price-​point already.
The customer service has been just fine and I’ve never had a problem there either. People were very attentive and I’ve even called the store and the associate was extremely informative and polite.
Overall, it’s Nike.

The profile should be labeled Nike «Running» Store, as it is not a Nike Town. There’s a big difference depending on what you’re looking for.
I was happy to see they were opening a Nike store in Old Town– I assumed it would be a Nike Town. I visited the location expecting a NT and was disappointed. I visited the store looking for a specific shoe that is not in high demand. I’m pretty sure I’d have no problem finding it at a NT, however this store is only for runners.
I rated three stars because it’s a decent looking store and they seem well equipped to meet the runners needs. I’m a runner, so when I am in need of running shoes I won’t hesitate to return. If and when I do, I’ll update my review.

Not sure why some people are saying the customer service is horrible. I came to pick up some new running shoes and the staff was more than helpful, I ended up getting a few pants to. This Nike store is not as big as the one at the Grove but still has some really good stuff especially when you don’t feel like driving to LA.

Anyone that knows me will tell you I’m practically sponsored by Nike… I was stoked to hear a Nike running store in Old Town. When we first tried to go there we were a little bit too late and it was closed. When we finally got to see it i was a little disappointed in the selection. I expected more apparel, more colorways in lunar flyknits and air pegasus. The Nike running store at The Grove has so much more to offer. Also, there was a running club that night so customer service was virtually non-​existent. I couldnt tell who was an employee watching the sales floor or who was handling the run club that night. So I was just browsing with no one to ask questions to… Oh well, I’ll go back one day. Hopefully my experience will be better.

This place is hit or miss. I was excited when I saw that a Nike would open. I got sad when all they would sell are running shoes and apparel. Not that it’s bad, but their selection here is super limited. You’re better off finding it online on Nike’s website or other retailers at the mall.
When you walk in, sometimes they greet you. Other times, they don’t. Come on, man. I’m here walking around aimlessly trying to get someone’s attention.
They do the treadmill test to find the right shoe. Eh. It’s not like the custom make it as if you are sponsored by Nike. They’ll just point you to the shoe that would give them commission.
There’s a lot more apparel than shoes it seems. Would rather have a Nike with more shoes. And a better selection of shoes. How does a Nike location, that specializes in running shoes, not have the Flyknit Lunar 3’s on the day they drop. Makes no sense. Might as well not have a Nike location.

— Yay for finding trail runners in store
— Nike wraps run smaller than expected
— Clean store filled with tons of staff to answer questions and get your shoes
— Great shoe selection
— Treadmill to test out shoes (sign a waiver first!)
— No cash register (?) Check out with the employees via an iphone

I had come here yesterday and was looking for new running shoes as mine are falling apart. I was greeted right away but josi, she was nothing but knowledgeable and really smiley and hilarious. She recommended three different shoes for my needs and all of them were amazing so I ended up buying the Pegasus with Flash!
The selection here is a runners dream! They have most fly knits, gym and trainers, and also every day shows like the Roshes *which I learned are NOT running shoes*. Prices are a little high but that’s just Nike I suppose. Also I have not felt very motivated to run lately but I had learned that there is a run club on Wednesdays at 630 where a huge group meets and runs together! Joined for next week and can’t wait to start with my new Pegs! So happy a running store opened up in Pasadena finally! Thanks Nike & Josi I’ll be back!

New location in Old Town Pasadena. I’m so happy there is finally an actual Nike store in Pasadena.
Great selection of apparel from vests, shirts, to shoes.
The staff here is very attentive. I want to give a shout out to Dominique. She helped me pick out some new shoes and gave me some tips on what socks to wear with them and told me about the N+TC Nike Training Club App for my phone. She was very sweet and helpful.

WOO! NIKE came to old town Pasadena. Great selection but there’s another store down the street i think its called Neo i think. With even a better selections and variety of all brands! Better sales and BETTER prices.
I went to Nike to get a gift card for a Christmas gift. It wasn’t to busy at the time i went since they had employees talking to each other. I was never greeted nor asked if i needed help. I walked up to a gentlemen who worked there. He looked up’d at me and looked back down to start holding clothes. I had to wave my hand in front of him to get his attention. He was dreading the whole transaction. I will never go to the Nike in old town again,
Horrible Customer Service,
Crap Selections.
Whats the point of having a Nike store when their competitors down the street have better selections, better customer service, and better sells?
DO NOT COME TO NIKE IN OLD TOWN PASADENA!

Scarlet and Dennis gave me the best customer service and also gave me some pointers in regards to running and training. I Love my structure 18’s! Anything Nike related you need be sure to ask for either Scarlet or Dennis!

Grand opening. Nike comes to Old Pasadena. Great selection of shoes. All sizes and colors to choose from.
