Extra Butter LES

First off let’s start by saying how much I love the security in this place. You must get buzzed in first and it’s super dope (nice layout, nice staff, nice selection of exclusive shoes)
This is a shoe store I will be back to and can refer my friends to if they want to go to the LES.

We stumbled on this gorgeous little gourmet hub for a late lunch and what a delicious find. The food was sensational and the service warm and efficient. The vibe was pretty relaxed and it was late afternoon, everyone was very chilled and looked settled in.

Awesome staff who are super helpful. Not pretentious or out of touch with reality which is sadly something you encounter at sneaker boutiques.
Helped me with my purchase for what I was looking for.

Love Extra Butter!
The staff is friendly, and extremely helpful. They always have a good selection of general release, as well as limited sneakers. The events they have there are always different, but still culturally appropriate. It’s always a good time, shopping or otherwise!

Love this place!
Great shoe selection, even for female sizes! I usually only find 1 – 2 pairs of kicks I really like (at the most!) in any other sneaker store, but Extra Butter’s selection is unmatched! Plus, really nice and helpful staff, which unfortunately is a rarity in sneaker boutiques nowadays too! I visited from L.A. and wish we had more spots like Extra Butter out here as well!

hypest shoe collection in the hypest neighborhood. look at the sale section. knock yourself out. ask for a free popcorn bag.

This place is dope. I love the set up and their stuff is on point.
Their shoes and hats are crazy. They’re lined up on the wall and was seriously from the floor to ceiling. The sock selection is my favorite. They’re some really unique finds.
Clothes are quality, and it’s well displayed.

Got some kicks from here and wasn’t disappointed at all! Most of all, the staff wasn’t pretentious and was very helpful. Good customer service will get me to spend my dough every time!
I’ll be buying from here again.

Unlike other sneaker/​street wear boutiques, you receive none of the attitude usually associated. The staff was helpful, genuinely friendly and I ended up buying two pairs of kicks, for the current/​next season. There was a sale going on copped top of the line New Balances at a great price. People have stopped me on the subway. Definitely will be my go to spot to get exclusive kicks, a new hat and service with a smile.

Extra Butter. I don’t know why a shoe store would name itself «Extra Butter» cause I came here looking for some Grass-​fed butter. It’s a very misleading name. I came looking for butter and toast and went away with a damn duffle bag.
Extra Butter has a decent selection of Jordans, Reebok Pumps, New Balance, etc. To be honest, the selection wasn’t anything I haven’t seen online and things I could get a lot cheaper. It’s an upscale sneaker shop. It was pretty cool cause they didn’t have any Chinese immigrants sewing the shoes in the stock room.
Overall, I wouldn’t pay for the asking price for a lot of their sneakers cause I know I could get it for cheaper since I’m a sneaker head. The only good I got out of Extra Butter was a duffle bag that I used to smuggle Halal Guys back to Killa Cali. West Siiide!

Trendy small show and athletic clothing shop in an interesting space that seems like it may be a converted movie theater. The selection of running shoes was pretty good and had many brands, though prices were high. The clothing selection is pretty tiny. The staff was busy chatting and didn’t really even notice us.

I was really surprised at the selection of kicks here.
I walked in expecting to see a few rare foams and Asics, but they had everything that’s hot, including a lot of hard to find exclusives like the Pool Blue 998’s, The Puma Disc’s, Asics Gel Lyte 5’s and the Moss Green Agassi Challenge Tech’s. All shoes that I have been looking for online forever and haven’t had any luck finding aside from ebay.
What was more surprising was their prices. Nothing was really priced over $ 200 and the majority of the kicks I mentioned above were a good $ 30-​$ 50 less than what I would have expected to pay elsewhere.
The sales floor is nicely laid out and very large for a lower Manhattan boutique sneaker store. By far the best one in the city.
No, they might not have any Ronnie Fieg exclusives like Kith, or specialty SB’s like Supreme or Dave’s Quality Meat, but they got heat. This is great store with a surprisingly large retail stock, and their prices are right on the money.
I will be back once my sneaker budget is replenished in a few weeks.

Extra Butter is extra EXTRA buttery. They have the best collection of sneakers: Nike, New Balance, Puma, Reebok, Ewing, asics, even Toms and Vans.
ALMOST EVERY JORDAN RELEASE!
friendly staff, atmosphere, and great selection of clothing, hats, socks, and backpacks too!
Don’t be fooled: they are the real deal.
Always the best experience. EB!

This place is dope. Shoe selection is on point (but then again, I’m a retired sneakerhead), fitteds and hats are literally works of art, and the menswear is unique, creative, and fashion forward — all without being feeling forced/​pretentious. It still feels very «real», if you know what I mean. The store is bright and the employees are friendly and quick.
Literally, they are so accommodating that one who had a broken leg I believe (who still, bless his heart, came to work for some reason) hopped up to hobble over to the back to see if they had a certain size for me, although this would’ve required him to go up the stair/​lip they have in the store (you can see this in «photos»). I stopped him, told him it was okay, and then had a different employee check for him/​me. If that ain’t service, I don’t know what is!
Love this spot. Will DEFINITELY be back.

With many sneaker shops either closing down or just plain turning wack — great to see another world-​class sneaker store open up in the LES. Extra Butter’s original location is in Rockville Centre (which I’ve never visited) but with their recent successes, i.e. the Kill Bill x Asics collaboration which had the sneaker blogs going nuts, they expanded into Manhattan. If you haven’t figured it out, the theme of the store is movies and you can easily mistake the storefront display for a theatre production company. Some of their house brand prints are sick.
You can expect to find many of the kicks that many other shops carry around in a city like NYC, but the difference is service. While joints like Kith can offer you similar heat and quite a bit of attitude, the guys at Extra Butter are extremely nice and they carry some great gear to match your kicks.
After shooting the shit for a while (and me being able to complain slightly about how hard it is to get their merchandise in Canada), the staff polled me to get my opinion on some of their recent designs. It’s great to see a sneaker boutique pay close attention to customer opinion — rather than the ‘holier than thou’ attitude some sneaker/​streetwear giants in town have.
It’s a tough choice for me if Goliath or Extra Butter is my favourite NYC sneakershop — but Extra Butter has a slight edge being in LES — which is close to many other boutiques and food options.
