    Adidas NiceKicks sneakers

    I had never heard of Sneaker Politics and was a little skeptical. I emailed customer service because I forgot to add my unit number to my address after I ordered two pairs of sneakers. Customer service responded right away and told me they would include the information. I received the sneakers in a few days and was really happy with them. I would definitely order from Sneaker politics again.

    Really cool atmosphere unlike some boutiques where you are not offered the best customer service. However at Politics, the staff were really cool and engaging. I went in with intention to get some new kicks; they had my size and I was out within a few minutes. Since I was out of town the the store associate gave me the inside deets on where to go and visit while I was in town. I would definitely come back to check there newly added items, whenever I am in the area.

    Came here briefly while we were walking the district! Cool little shop with a few goodies! Had a great selection of hype running shoes but i didn't see anything that I needed that second. The workers seemed nice, a bit busy with whatever they were doing. If you're in the area you might as well drop by and see if they have something for you!

    Shoes and a shirt.

    Good options of clothing and shoes, the vibe is perfect and they are respectful!!! The prices and quality are the best.

    Great selection of independent and mainstream sneakers! And the location is very accessible within the French Quarter.

    Beware! They do NOT accept returns. Only in store credit...and they take a TON off your purchase price. Absolutely brutal. Awful policy.

    Situated on the block between Decatur and N. Peters STNDRD Athletic was a random stop in for us as…read morewe walked around the city. We got pulled in by the window set ups and sleek looking interior...and the promise of cool athletic gear was a bonus. The store is a boutique style spot with a focus on athletic goods from shoes, shirts, bottoms, hats and accessories. They have a cool shoe wall that features a small variety of men's and women's sneakers. The rest of the store is dedicated to clothing and accessories. They have several name brands, but also feature a few smaller brands specific to the style of clothing. Pricing ranged. There was nothing that seemed wildly expensive, but also nothing that seemed like the deal of a lifetime. The store is in great condition, well kept and was super clean. Plus they had that AC running, so the pop in was nice for many reasons! Service was solid as well. The staff was friendly, welcoming us in, checking on us during the shop and wishing us well. Overall, unexpected spot given the area that turned out to be a pretty cool spot to browse!

    I feel compelled to share this experience, not out of malice, but out of disappointment and a deep…read moresense of frustration. As someone who not only spends a considerable amount of money at local businesses but also takes pride in supporting establishments within our community, I walked into this place expecting even the most basic level of respect. What I received was the complete opposite. Upon entering the establishment, I approached the owner directly and greeted him, trying to initiate a respectful, face-to-face interaction. To my surprise, and honestly my disbelief, he never looked up, never responded, and never acknowledged me at all -- as if I wasn't even standing there. There was no excuse, no distraction, no crowd, no reason not to extend a simple courtesy like eye contact or a greeting. This wasn't just bad customer service -- it was flat-out disrespect. What made the situation even more unsettling is that his own staff, who were standing nearby, were the only ones who showed any kind of professionalism. One of them looked over and said, "Good evening." That moment spoke volumes. If your team has to pick up the slack for your lack of basic human decency, something is seriously wrong with how your business is being run. I've come here before and spent real money -- not just once, but many times -- because I believed in putting my dollars into businesses that represent our city, our people, and our culture. But it's hard to continue supporting a place when the owner himself can't even show an ounce of gratitude or humility to the very customers who keep his doors open. Being a community-based business means something. It means showing love back to the people who show love to you. It means engaging, being present, and understanding that your energy and attitude affect every single person who walks through your doors. When you show your true colors -- especially to someone who's supported you without asking for anything in return -- people take notice. To anyone considering doing business here, I strongly advise you to think twice. It's one thing to have an off day, but it's another to make someone feel unseen, unappreciated, and unwelcome -- especially when they come with respect. I won't be back, and I won't recommend this place to anyone in my network until the ownership learns what true customer service -- and community care -- really looks like.

They had so many different styles of shoes and colors with different unique patterns here!! I was very impressed!!! Turns out if your a Nike member, you can also have the shoes shipped to your house for free!! What a great perk!! Especially since I live in California and I had no space to buy any shoes in my suitcase! I got some really cool glow ! And I know we don't have those on the West Coast!! Maybe they're only available online? But not bad. Prices for shoes were also a little cheaper than California and the employees were very helpful and accommodating to get my information and ship the shoes across the country. I will definitely be shopping here again. Next time I come back to New Orleans! I love it here!! Check out my reviews on the Ruby red slipper and the beignets !!

Three pair of sneakers caught my eye, but sizing was completely different between them all. I finally landed on a pair of Huaraches which I learned were brand new. Brought socks but left them at the hotel, so $20 for a pack of socks added to my bill. That's a little ridiculous, but price and demand, right? The sales ppl were nice, all spent a lot of time talking and preventing more than 4 customers in the door. The one helping me seemed new, but there was another guy who stepped in and helped with the sale and he sprayed my new kicks before I took them on the road too. Spent way more time than expected in here, and forgot to take pics, but the visit was worth it.
