Sole on Ice

This is another cosignment store that i am also a big fan of. They have a very good selection of shoes that you can pick from ranging from jordans to nikes. As a cosignment store i think the prices are pretty fair from what i have seem compared to other stores. Very good customer service as well.

Great selection, great interior décor and great service. I love that they plastic wrap the shoes just like Flight Club. Its nice to have a shoe store like this especially in japantown. Very underrated shop but since the shoe prices are high i doubt they make that many sales unless they carry all the newest hyped releases. Don’t like that its mostly jordans or nikes though. Would love to see smaller shoe brands in there such as the street wear ones like the hundreds or alife. But be sure to check it out whenever you are in japantown and you are an avid fan of street wear culture.

Great Merch. Great Service. Great Music. Not often you walk into a shoe store with class, the inside looks very inviting. Not to mention, I hear 49er players stop by every now and then.

If you love Nike new or retro style this is your heaven!
Walls are covered with all Nike shoe styles. Love the old school MJ ones! Some are pricey at $ 400+! But to bring you a blast from the past it could be worth it :)!
Cool long comfortable sofa in the middle of the store. Chill staff and one thing: the shoes on display are all covered and protected in plastic. Whaaaa?!

they got a dope collection, priced just below flightclub, I just wish they took trades and not consignment.

I was here last Saturday during the Obon festival. This place is cool, I wish I had more time to look around. All Nike shoes here and a whole wall of Jordan’s.

I came. I saw. I left…
legit but pricey.

Randy makes it really easy to bring your shoes in here for consignment. He’s cool, very knowledgable, and has a really clean shop. The wide variety of rare and classic shoes in here means people trust him with their stuff. I’ve got about a dozen pieces here myself. Really happy that this concept has hit SJ!

I spent like 5 racks on shoes here here gave me like 2 racks off. Now thats swag…

Damn I hate that they didn’t have anything in my size! They have a dope collection of kicks especially their Jordans and dunks… If they only had shoes in my size, I’d drop some serious cash up in this place.
SO FELLAs IF YOU’RE READING THIS, CONSIDER CARRYING SOME KICKS IN KID SIZES for us ladies with small feet ^_​^… I’m just sayin.

LA has Flight Club/​RIF OC has Footage San Jose has Sole on Ice! Nested in San Jose’s Japan Town you would not be able to notice that this place is a sneaker shop unless you knew what you were looking for. Very well spaced out it reminds me of flight club. Dope collection of shoes which will be growing as the spot gets bigger. Awesome collection of snap back hats. Resisted the temptation to buy shoes yay me! They had a very friendly and helpful staff. This will be one of my spots I come to every San Jose trip.

excellent place for an opportunity of consignmnet.
willing to take og and deadsdtock nike’s, jordan’s and other vast collections of footwear inspired by the pro’s and much more.
guaranteed or your money back!!!

Dopeass little store. Only downside is it’s hard to find. But other than that this place is amazing. They have HEAT! All the shoes they’re selling are on a cosign agreement. The unworn shoes are in shrink wrap with the prices and sizes they have on the tags. All the ‘used’ shoes have their own little wall and are not in shrinkwrap but they’re still clean. They have a nice wall of snapbacks and have some Sole on Ice merch that you have to ask about. The people working there are pretty friendly. When you first walk in you might not be able to find anyone but they’re at the ‘counter’ it’s actually a half door. Haha.
They won’t go up and really talk to you, but if you go up to them and talk to them, they’re really informative and friendly. Great place that everyone who’s into kicks should check out.

Bring your shoes here if you don’t want to sell them on your own. Just drop them of and wait for the call telling you that you shoes have been sold.

There seems to be growing trend of boutiques opening up in the Japantown San Jose area. It’s nice to be in the area without it feeling so «sleepy» anymore. Although, street parking will soon grow to be difficult. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Heard about this store from Ian of Aristocrats, another boutique a block down. Did some research on the interwebs, and turns out they used to have a location in San Carlos st. Reviews of the former store lead me to believe this establishment to be some sort of consignment shoe store. Is this San Jose’s version of Flight Club? Sort of.
Simply designed, and lots of space. To the untrained shopper, it may appear to be just another shoe store. This is not your run of the mill Footlocker.
Many of the shoes they sell are rare, sold out, hot commodities, so this store can also feel like a museum for some. They only sell Nike Shoes: SBs, Jordans, etc-​basically the premium ones. I’m not too sure if they sell any new product, but a lot of it seems to be deadstock. This store is for people who are serious about their shoes, willing to shell out $ 400 for Tiffany SBs (I spotted one on the wayyyy top of the wall). Since much of their stuff is rare, sizing can get a little hairy. Ask them if a pair you see is available in your size.
I inquired if they buy shoes. They only do consignment. Basically this means, that they will showcase/​sell your shoe for you and they get a portion of that sale. They only consign Nikes (SBs, Jordans, basically similar product to what they sell), nothing else.
They also sell vintage snapbacks and a few vintage sports team jackets.
Pricing is not for the faint of heart. $$$$$$$$$$$$

Dope Shoes and snap backs… store looks good homie!

I attended the grand opening…
Its cool to have a dope sneaker shop closer to my house.
This place is limited on shoe sizes and variety though. They also have a good variety on snap backs. The people running this shop are real cool.

I dont’ know too much about shoe slang or really any terminalogy besides fat laces for my shells … but i do know that you can get some kicks here that you haven’t seen since the 90s. I got a pair of (what I call them anyways) nike AIR with the words AIR in big ass letter on the side from here.
It was a gift to myself cause I always wanted them in high school, but never had the ends to get them cause you know… name brand was thing for yuppies when I was rocking XJ 9s. ya feel?!
Should’ve kept on to a pair of XJ too… they’re collectors now as well.
I digress from my point. Sole is a cool place to shop with a nice neighborhood touch and some fresh rubbers for the soles. The service was good and the shiz was quick.
I only put extra dough depending on the shoe selection cause there were these dual pair of jordans that cost more than my alcohol tab some nights… and I’m a lush…
good stuff, great times, awesome selection… sporting my new AIRs in vegas during the super bowl.

Basically this is a consignment store that carries shoes people drop off. Mainly Nike SB Dunks and Jordan Brand Shoes. The prices here arent bad at all. Sure, with some searching on the forums (iss, NT, Nsb, ect), you can find a better deal but risk fraudulent sellers and fake merchandise. The prices here are much better than Flight Club prices.
Some examples:
Deadstock Neptunes @ FCLA is $ 131
Deadstock Neptunes @ SOI is $ 115
Its only a 16 $ difference but with FlightClub, you need to pay for shipping and tax which is another $ 20ish dollars.
Another example is the MF Dooms
Flight Club — $ 325
SOI — $ 250
I didnt buy anything but i will mos. def come back here to look at what they have and put a few shoes up as well.
Oh the location/​size
The store is about the size of my bedroom. Very cozy and easy to look at. Its not over done. The actual location is in the CUTS though so keep your eyes peeled.

Yo yo… So I stopped past this joint and low and behold saw a pair of Tiffany Dunks for only $ 500 unworn. The gear is clean, no joke. This cat has his gear wrapped in shrink wrap so our grubby hands are not marking them up. I am happy someone was able to come through with the size 13.5. –Easy to work with– Consignment (dropping 2 pairs off myself) — Collector Toys, hands down a great spot.
The Downer (-) Keep yo eyes peeled for the spot; do not drive to fast it is across the street from this used car lot. I would park in front of the car lot and walk across the street.
Well I swooped the Dunks and will return to this shop time and time again. Thanks Sole on Ice!
