Niky’s Sports

Need soccer gear? This is the place. Great selection, knowledgable staff, good sales, and nice clean dressing areas. The soccer selection at most athletic stores is paltry at best, so it’s great to come to a store that caters to the sport.
The women’s section could be better.

Really clean. Looks new. Nice customer service. Great selection. Free street parking on Sundays. One stop shop for all your soccer needs.

My son just started playing club soccer & I was given a link to order uniforms from this store. After I loaded up my online cart with over $ 280 in jerseys, warm ups, etc. all of which had to me custom embroidered I thought, «I really wish I could try this stuff on…» I wasn’t too thrilled to drive to the Westside, but once I found parking and walked in all that negative energy was gone. Gorgeous store, friendly, knowledgeable sales associates and they did a great job having samples in every size for my son to try on. No one tried to up sell me, and when my son was «browsing/​begging» for a $ 250 pair of cleats they showed him an equally cool much more budget friendly option. I will absolutely make the drive up the 405 again & with less complaining next time. It looks like an awesome store to outfit my kid at, and the prices were very fair. Truly it looks like they had just about anything a soccer player could put on their wish list!

READ THE BAD REVIEWS!!!
WORST costumer service ever! HORRIBLE business! EXTREMELY unorganized. I bought 2 of my own jerseys to put name and number in each and they promised me the jerseys ready next day. Next day I call and the jerseys were not ready and they said they would call me when my jerseys were ready to pickup. 2 days later I get a call from the store saying the jerseys were ready to pick. I went to pick them up and when I got there they, 1 jersey was not ready because they didn’t even have the numbers to put on and the other one they put the wrong number on it damaging my own jersey. I didn’t even buy those jerseys there cuz they didn’t have my size so pretty much they don’t even have the jerseys to replace them. I wasted my time, my money and had a worst experience ever. After spending over 1k on jerseys, soccer balls, cleats and etc, they just lost my business. Taking my money was not a problem. Delivering what was promised was pretty much impossible!

Came here to buy some new soccer cleats, turf shoes, women’s shorts, and shin guards.
Their new location is beautiful. Nice displays, great selection of shoes and clothes, and unlike some of the other reviews the service was good! They basically have «dudes» who play soccer working there and that’s fine with me. They will give you a discount if you ask for it.
I wish they had a bigger selection of high end socks as well as fun and kooky designed socks for adults (they only had kid sizes). They had a good selection of women’s clothes but would like to see more shorts for women. It would also be nice if they had a section of supportive wear such as ankle braces, knee braces, and compression sleeves. I don’t need my ankle brace anymore because I’ve strengthened the area but there are some of us over 30 who sometimes need a little extra support due to previous injuries etc.
Oh, I also grabbed a pair of those new shin guard sleeves that they’re making now. LOVE them.

Soccer player’s dream store. It had everything you can think of inside of that store and good choices from different brands. I ended up leaving with the authentic away Barcelona ¹⁵⁄₁₆ jersey, Nike indoor tiempo shoes and ¾ Puma pants. The guy at the register gave my girlfriend and I each a shirt with the store name on it. Pretty cool gesture. I definitely recommend this store to any soccer players in the area.

Solid shop for all of your footy needs. All of the latest gear. Friendly and knowledgable staff.

Amazing soccer store! Great selection great prices and great customer service. I grab all my gear for the teams I coach every time!

Bought a soccer ball from them a few months ago. Very nice guys. They helped me pick the best one and gave me advice on which one was best for me.

Soccer fan’s paradise. If you love soccer, this is the place for you. While they may not carry the jersey for all the teams, chances are, they can order it for you.
Staff has always been very helpful. Helps that everyone that works here is passionate about the sport.
Great selection of soccer shoes (cleats, turf, indoor) as well as soccer balls (FIFA approved to street balls).
The clearance rack has a very good selection of league and international team jerseys as well as shorts and jackets.
I have purchased, at least, 10 soccer jerseys/​jackets for my beloved Arsenal Gunners since this place opened a few years ago.
They also personalize the jerseys with official lettering and numbering for some of the more popular leagues.
Come in, look at round even to talk soccer with the staff.

Niky’s Sports is the best LA has to offer soccer wise! The ambience is like being at a soccer stadium surrounded by the most up to date soccer apparel, TV with a match on, and enthusiastic knowledgable employees. Excited to have found this amazing soccer haven and it’s way better then ordering on line and they are conveniently located around town. Incredible place :).

Absolute worst business practices ever!!! Make sure to read some of the low rated review as I think they really nailed it in their assessment of this place…
This is only the second or third time i ever write on Unilocal but I believe this is way worth the time after my disastrous experience at this place in the last 2 days.
Yesterday 11/​13/​2014, I showed up there as a repeat customer. I had previously bought cleats, socks, goalie gloves, jerseys as well as sent many of my friends to the store to buy all sort of soccer goods. Until today, the relatively high prices were worth the convenience of the location as well as the decent amount of selection.
However, yesterday I bought 4 balls that were recommended to me as very good price/​quality compromise balls for $ 30 each. This was for a soccer tournament this weekend. This small $ 130 transaction is nothing compared to what I have bought from them in the past and how many clients I have sent to this place.
But today, I tried the 4 soccer balls on the grass field and realized that they are absolutely terrible. They are very heavy and of very poor quality. On top of that, 2 of them ended up with pretty bad scratches (after only half an hour).
Right after this happened, I brought the ball back to the store and asked very nicely if they would take them back and maybe if they could send them back to addidas while in the meantime I would buy 3 much higher quality and more expensive balls ($ 150 tag price). The manager absolutely refused to help and told me to deal with addidas directly myself while making me a sleazy offer on the much more expensive ball at $ 110 instead of $ 150.He acted as if this offer was a nice gesture for what had happened to me with these 4 shitty balls while the day before someone else in the store had made me the same offer before I bought the less expensive 4 balls — Obviously, this was complete bullshit.
Had they been willing to take the ball back, I would have bought 3 new balls for about $ 350 — $ 400, they would have probably been able to return the balls I used to addidas and received 4 new ones for the defect. Instead of acceting a $ 130 return for a new sale of $ 350 — $ 400, they just lost my business today and any other time I will have to make a soccer purchase. Unfortunately, they will probably also lose the business of all the people I already sent their way as well as everyone I deal with in my soccer club. I will make sure everyone I know avoid this place at all cost.

This is the best soccer store on the West Side of Los Angeles. If you want high end cleats and not the crap you can get at your local sporting goods store this is the place to go. Their locations in LA have more selection but unless you want to drive downtown this will do.

Huge selection for the Futbol enthusiast. The clerks know their stuff and are fans as well. The quality of the merchandise is top notch! I bought a new Barcelona FC jersey there and I am so happy with it.
This will be my go to place for all future soccer purchases.

Good place. Had everything I was looking for as well as a very friendly staff. Prices were reasonable. Will go back for my soccer needs.

Very good and friendly service from the guys here, though the shop seemed understaffed. 2 employees per 6 needy customers (myself included.)
They did have the shoes I needed, in my size, on the spot!

Niky’s Sports is the best soccer store on the West Side of Los Angeles! They are one of the sponsors for the local kid’s soccer club teams, Santa Monica United.

I first have to admit that I know almost nothing about the pricing of soccer apparel. I was surprised to learn that adult soccer jerseys can cost upwards of $ 85+ (expensive in my opinion), yet Adidas warm up pants cost $ 45 (reasonable in my opinion). Prices in this store range from very reasonable to pricey. I’m a big believer of you wget what you pay for.
The sales associate in here were super friendly and helpful in answering questions. There are unmarked specials in the store, so be sure to ask teh sales associate if you are interested in an item. I got an Umbro soccer bag that was regularly $ 40 for $ 15! Super deal!
Be sure to check into Unilocal before purchasing, as you’ll get a 10% discount off of your purchase.

Wandered into this soccer store today and was impressed with their organization and selection. In a town full of new soccer fans I am surprised to finally find a futbol store.
The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. This place puts to shame regular retail sports stores like sports authority, foot locker, and champs because they don’t sell ugly over priced basketball sneakers for vanity.
This is real deal!

There’s a few pros and cons about this place
Cons: overpriced. All there cleats are going to be about $ 20-​$ 50 more than ordering online. Even jerseys and t shirts
The whole membership thing doesn’t work for people that live far away. You can’t get anything shipped to you if you have enough points. You’ll have to go pick it up
Returns: wear them once and Realize they don’t fit? You’re screwed.
Pros: get to try on cleats.
They have a decent clearance section
Clean store. Lot of items
End of the day I’ll stick to ordering online and finding WAY better deals.

My two boys and I have been going to Niky’s Sports for several years now. I always look forward to going there. The place is staffed by people who simply love soccer. They know their stuff and it shows. They have absolutely everything you need — shoes, clothing, balls, protective gear, cones, pop-​up goals, etc. Really nice selection of shoes. In fact my younger son and I each bought a pair of new cleats today. Errol helped us. He took the time to get us exactly what we needed. My son was so happy with his smart new cleats, he almost brought them into bed with him tonight — I suppose he earned it, having practiced hard and made the all-​star team this year (please forgive a touch of Dad being proud).
On the Westside, we have a number of large chain stores selling all kinds of athletic equipment. Those are fine for most things, but when it comes to soccer gear, Niky’s stands above the crowd. At the chain stores, the selection is very limited, so you really don’t know what you’re missing. Plus the knowledge level is just completely different.
Niky’s has discounts for AYSO and club players. Today we got 10% off since we are with AYSO.
If you make Niky’s your first stop for soccer gear, you will save a lot of time, avoid frustration, get top quality goods, and receive helpful and friendly service.
