Bought a pair of Travis Scott's black phantoms around October last year. Price was 1,200$, which was whatever understandable they gotta make profit. However months later I wanted to trade it with another couple shoes the verification came back as replicas. Was shocked so I quadruple checked using check check app, numerous stores verified as well. I spoke to Jason the manager via email and he claim he got it from Travis Scott's team, and denied it. Idk if anyone has dealt with getting replicas from this store but make sure you run checks before purchasing. I'll never go back, I received my money back so I'm square but I at least wanted to Inform anyone interested to ensure you verify your shoes before purchasing. read more

The staff were so amazing and helpful! I bought my reverse Kobe grinches and my what a Kobe shoes and I love them I even got $100 gift card ! read more

Jason and the team at paired up are always great. No this is not footlocker it's a boutique sneaker head shop with harder to find rare shoes. Yes there is a mark up because if not they couldn't have a store front. With that said Jason takes great care to certify all his shoes so you are getting real gear which is good and more rare than folks know who don't collect. read more

Paired Up - New Travis Scott's barely even out - Shoe Stores Near Me - Newport Beach, California

If you're into sneakers, this place is a must. Jason and his team at Paired Up are knowledgeable about the latest drops and really go above and beyond to help with a smooth purchase. They are honest and super easy to talk to. They have great variety, and have the full spectrum of Travis Scott's, the hottest Dunks, Kobe's, Jordan 1's, 3's, 4s, and 5's. I've been buying here since they opened and every experience has been smooth and their shoes 100% legit. You may pay less elsewhere, but you would run the risk of replicas, factory flaws, or defects. The shoes at Paired Up are screened for perfection. read more

Paired Up just moved to fashion island and made a major facelift on not just the size of the store but also the variety selection and inventory. The owners and staff go above and beyond to fulfill customer needs. This shop offers hard to find sneakers and accessories that are readily available in store. You can also order sizes online while in store, and consign unworn sneakers. They carry anything from dunks, yeezys, Jordan's, off white and LV goods that you can't find anywhere else in Orange County. The store itself has a clean clique aesthetic and kept clean. I really appreciate all the details within the shop, bags, seasonal promos and their marketing through Instagram. If you're a sneaker head like me, this is your go to! The prices are reasonable and you'll find yourself leaving with more than one shoe :) read more

Rude employees, My son wanted to try on Yeezy sandals and they came at him and said "unless you know for sure you're buying them from here you CANNOT try them on." Who even says that? I've been shopping for shoes for the family all our lives and never once has someone said this to us. They might as well just sell online if they are so lazy to allow us to try them on. Never seen lazy employees like that. read more

I spotted this store when wandering around Fashion Island one weekend and realized it was new. It's located near the toy store and the eyeglass/sunglass shop. The guys greeted me and left me to shop on my own, which was fine with me. One did compliment me on my Off-White hoodie I was wearing. In addition to sneakers, they sell some streetwear from brands like Off-White and Supreme, as well as some rare items from Louis Vuitton. I saw some of the holograph items and a blue pouch from Virgil's designs. Pricing is on the high side but I sense it partly has to do with the convenience of getting an item in hand the same day without having to wait. (Also they are in an upscale mall in a beach town, which probably means high rent.) Condition of the bags they had seemed very good - the blue pouch had the original tag with it and it appeared to have been used with care. (Only missing the dustbag and care booklet.) There's plenty of options for parking for Fashion Island - either you can park in a surface lot or one of the structures. read more

Wow great store great service. Spotless clean organized. Main guy Jason showed us on a iPad screen to the inventory everything they had in stock that was my size, and there was a ton of different choices. Outstanding store! read more

Paired Up - Shoe Stores Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Paired Up!!! Wow, this place is a special spot. I absolutely love kicks and was told by a sneaker head buddy of mine that I had to hit Paired Up if I was ever in town, luckily I was in town!!! Walking in I felt like a kid in a candy store, great selection and had my size in every shoe. Big Ups to the Staff, they were all on point- very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The store was super clean so I was able to really soak in that fresh shoe smell we all love. This place is doing it right! I recommend to anyone visiting Fashion Island to make sure they step foot into Paired Up, they'll be happy they did. Thank you "Paired Up" for a great experience!! read more

Staff were nice and ready to help but the prices are too high; I'm assuming it's because of the rent that they have to pay for this location in a fancy mall. Jordan Lost and Founds size 12 were at at 780, you can get those at most other local shops (not online, eg Samples in OC or Coolkicks in LA) for 500. I will say they've got a great collection, so if you're a sneaker head and don't mind paying a fair bit more over market compared to other local shops it might be worth it. read more

Poor, rude service. Possible counterfeit (fake) shoes sold for over $300+ (employee said he didn't know where the shoes come from). Be careful, its best you get shoes from a legitimate seller online. Avoid this dump. And to the business manager Marcus reply, this is not a fake review. Perhaps you need to be educated on how to manage a business. Its no wonder your staff is rude, they learn it from you. Have a nice day! ;) read more

The store is nice; the service is pleasant. For folks who are not familiar with shoe prices, they are marking up (in some cases by +200%). Shop online for market prices. read more

A decent selection of some dead stock favorites. Dunks, Jordan's, some off-white and even Supreme joints. Marcus, the cat who helped was cool, fitted, and didn't bother me as I perused around the store. He was wearing a mask but didn't sweat me for not wearing one. Little did he know, I was about to plop almost a rack on a few pairs. I snagged some dunks and Jordan 1 lows for myself in a rare Mens size 11. Also pulled off with a pair of 1's for my wife too, she was stoked. Marcus thanked me for my business and I'll be back for their next drop. Thanks guys. read more

Lol the Newport Beach mark up on any item in this store is insane. They are banking off people who are instant gratification shoppers and/or who don't know how to go online and look up shoes. Every item is $130+ mark up! Wild. But then again they've got to pay that fashion island rent. read more

We went to Newport this weekend (haven't been to Fashion Island in sometime now, we're from Temecula) We had dinner reservations later that day, but wanted to do some shopping before hand...so we had the entire family with us. I've been looking for dunks for a while now, not that I couldn't find them, just not ones I loved or that had my size a available. We came across Paired Up. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and acknowledged by a gentlemen, the store was very clean and looked absolutely perfect. I immediately found a few dunks I loved....I was hesitant to ask if they had my size available as I've had terrible luck online and at different retail stores finding my size. I asked for two different shoes in my size and one for my son and they had our sizes available which was AMAZING! Tried them on and decided to take them all. Over all we had a great experience, thanks Paired Up we'll def be back soon! read more

Paired Up - Shoe Stores Near Me - Newport Beach, California

This place is LIT!! Super happy we bringing the culture to OC!! LESSSS GOOO they do consignments which is amazing and just a overall super dope spot to come hang out snap some dope pics for the gram. read more

the place is nice but the shoes are very very over price. i have been to Swish Studios but they are selling their merchandise 2X more expensive than them and also all the apps like StockX or Goat read more

Great store. Nice and clean and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful with the shoes. I get confused trying to find rare sneakers online. I don't always know which ones to buy so having the ability to go in store and ask questions is so valuable for me. These guys know sneakers and I love visiting this place vs using sites like stockx where I don't always know who I'm buying from. I have friends who had bad experiences buying sneakers like these online so I always recommend paired up to them if they are in the area. The store is clean, organized very well, and the staff will help you find things. It really feels more like an art gallery which I think is what they are going for. read more

We have since received a full refund for our special order, so at least they agreed to properly remedy the situation.

This place was awesome. I went and bought my wife and daughter a pair of Dunks. The also had a pair of kid Jordan's that my sons been wanting. Store is super clean. Definitely shop there again. read more

I bought one pair, they are very good quality, I will definitely come back again! they also have very good service

Wide selection and helpful employees. Only problem was the prices, charging $350 before tax for a shoe I found online from stockX for $140? I say just try on the shoe for size and go online read more

One star off because the shoes are extremely overpriced - you are way better off buying from StockX, GOAT, pray that you get lucky with raffles or beat the bots on the nike sneakers app than spending $450 on a pair of nike panda dunks here (c'mon, they are literally everywhere and not worth 4x the retail price). However, it's convenient that you can come in and try on these trendy shoes in person, and see how they fit on you. I highly recommend this store if you just want to try things on for the size/style. read more

Everything is over priced. The employees don't really seem to wanna help customers. The selections is very limited.

Consumer beware no returns or exchanges for 300% marked up shoes. Paid $298 for Jorden shoes where you can get them for $98. TOTAL RIP OFF!!! read more

Had a few bad experiences with different online sellers when purchasing for my son. Took him in here and he was in heaven! The staff was nice and helpful. Prices are a little higher than online, but the fact that I can try on the shoe, actually see it before buying and walk out with it is worth it for me. Definitely will be coming back here again. read more

Fast, easy and professional. I'm all about wanting to be in and out when I find something I like. Communication was great, they answered all my questions and they were super prepared when I got to the store. Great service. Looking forward to getting a few more styles from them. And love love love that it's LOCAL and I don't always have to go to LA or wait to order online. Instant gratification!! Now if it'd stop raining so I can wear my new Jordans!! read more

I live in Vegas, but I buy my shoes at Paired Up in Fashion Island. They have an amazing selection for what I like. Shopping there is an experience and not a chore, everyone is so helpful and they go out of their way to source what I want. High, High, Recommendation! These people have incredible knowledge and the store stocks only top stuff. Check it out, you'll love it! read more

This was my first time in the store. I was looking to buy new shoes for my friend and the staff was very helpful in this process.

This store is absolutely incredible. The location is perfect, they have such a great selection of sneakers. So many sizes and colors not to mention the staff is so nice and friendly! 10/10 recommend read more

A friend and I visited this store and I decided to get a pair of dunks. I was in a rush to cash out because our Uber was arriving but while getting checked out I noticed the shoe that was on display was dirty in some places like a stain on the laces and some dirt/smudge marks on the shoe from guests picking it up and looking at it. The gentleman cashing me out noticed these marks too and I asked if I could potentially bring them back in another day for them to be cleaned when the other man standing by (Jason) said they weren't dirty and the marks were "from Nike". Just a lack of care and zero effort to ensure quality. Ultimately I cashed out as planned but I'm pretty dissatisfied with the lack of customer service. As a small intimate location you would think that would be your number one priority. read more

Thank you. Thank you for letting my son look and wander around your store. Thank you for letting me take pictures of his excitement. Thank you for understanding and the eye contact of silent acknowledgement. You have no idea how happy he was but you had a part in making his day. read more

Everything is over priced at this store. Don't even bother you can get the shoe on StockX or goat with all services paid significantly cheaper. They are ripping you off read more

I really wanted to get a pair of Nike Airforce 1and I couldn't find them in my size anywhere. I looked in stores, online, etc, but they were all sold out. I called Paired Up and told them what I was looking for and they had it!!! They put them on hold for me, I tried them on, paid, and out of there in no time. I did take a glimpse of some of the awesome shoes they had.... currently eyeing the Dior Nikes love my new shoes! read more
