There hasn’t been a bigger disappointment in South Florida this year besides the 2012 Miami Marlins than Soles, Inc. The place came with immeasurable expectations and have failed miserably like Heath Bell in the 9th inning. What you should know about Soles, Inc, is its a boutique sneaker shop designed by sneaker heads, catering to sneaker heads. Its appeal is towards the younger demographic that listens to Drake and camps outside in the wee mornings for the latest Jordan Brand retro release. If you still have no idea please see There is nothing that really separates Soles from your other sneaker stores in the mall, such as Foot Locker, Finishline, Foot Action or Champs. There are no real exclusives found here and unlike those stores, there are no discounts you can use at Soles either, especially online. While it’s a very trendy store, it only works in small numbers or in more urban areas. There isn’t a sneaker you couldn’t purchase elsewhere and probably for less. If the store sold deadstock or just older items in general or even carried exclusive sneakers it would require your attention as a sneaker head. It does not. Instead it has the same sneakers on hip shelves with nice lighting and a plethora of xerox 8×10 celebrity autos like your average Tijuana Flats. It’s a cool little store that is misplaced in a swanky section of Town Center and will more than likely fall victim by next spring. The place is run by aspiring young sneaker enthusiasts who really wouldn’t know the difference between an Air Pegasus or Dunk High Pros. I’m almost positive they think Tinker Hatfield is a member of Metallica too.
