Staff is amazing. The vibe is great. And they've managed to carry an incredible range of brands without making the space feel crowded.

My boyfriend and I came to Social Status for the first time on MLK day. They have pretty much any streetwear brand you can think of (Off White, Bape, Champion, Rare Nike, Rare Timbs, Plus brand that have done collabs with other brands, etc) the only thing they didn't carry was Supreme. We don't live really close to it, but it's the closest store to us that sells streetwear brands. They sell everything for retail price or only a little bit higher, not like anyone else reselling rate items. My boyfriend ended up buying Yeezy 700 Mauves. He got them for exactly retail price. Also, the guy working there was very attentive and helped us. He also had good conversation without being overbearing. I forgot his name but it was only his first week working there. He was great! The store was super clean and modern read more

Love the vibe, the selection, and prices. Discovered when we were visiting and wish we were local

Really unique store in the middle of downtown Raleigh. It's got brands that aren't normally found in NC and they usually have early shipments of items that can't be found anywhere else quite yet. Also shout-out to the staff for remembering my friend and me and holding onto a jacket we wanted to purchase! read more

If I could GIVE 0 STARS, I would. Very disappointed on my experience with this store. My first experience was with their in-store raffle on yeezy V2 black. Staff was UNWELCOMING and RUDE in answering my questions. I gave the store a second chance today and it was worst than my first experience. I WAITED 4 HOURS in line for in store release of Jordan one SBB. 30 mins before opening, more than 15 people cut the line. No staff or security guard outside to help regulate the line. It felt like this was all just a backdoor drop. Never coming here again for sneaker releases. You have a better chance of winning online raffles when the store does not do anything about people cutting the line. read more

Walked into social status this evening with my family and the customer service was non-existent. It was obvious that we were into sneakers, because my kids and husband were all wearing the latest sneakers. The store was empty. The guy working at the store didn't even acknowledge my kids or husband. He kept ranting loudly with another staff member about something. He said good evening to me and that was it. Zero customer sales skills. He had plenty of opportunities to spark up a conversation, inquire what we were looking for, etc. Huge mistake and missed opportunity for a sale (and return visits). I wouldn't come back here. Low stars based on customer service (or lack there of). Sneaker inventory was limited. Store was clean and in a great locations. read more

A really helpful and knowledgeable staff (particular shoutout to James, Charlie and Brie).If they don't have a particular item in the store they'll eagerly track it down within the Social Status network. I particularly like the wide range of CDG and Converse products. read more

Saw the manager speak on tv today.... not playing victim, was eloquent and nonthreatening... I will go to this store someday.. I hope this store survives the ignorance of the past day in Raleigh read more

I walk in to literally by stuff and the manager looks at me like " what are you doing here?" I planned on spending some money there but after that interaction, kick rocks big guy. read more

Very friendly and helpful. The place was very inviting and expansive with really good prices. Will definitely be going again.

I have always had a welcoming experience each time I shop here. The staff is always friendly and willing to help me with any request that I need or I'm looking for. They have went out their way multiple times to help me find an item that I am looking for. They have even ordered items for me that were in another location. I do believe the manager name is Ant and he is always helpful. read more

Social Status is Shady Status This store is a complete rip off. On 8-25-14 I made a purchase for the amount of $248.44 with the sales associate telling me he could not give me an itemized receipt for whatever reason (shady dealings I believe)! I purchased a pair of Zanerobe shorts that they (SS) had marked at $90...I found the same shorts online for $44, I returned to the store today to return them but was told they don't do returns only exchanges. At no point in time was this verbalized to me nor was it printed on my credit card receipt! I'm in the Raleigh area 3 times a year and always make it a point to stop in to the store but that changes today! Never again! read more

I have been to Social Status a few times to enter raffles for limited shoes and browse the shelves. The store is tucked away inside City Market and is a very nice high end sneaker shop. Sometimes it's hard to tell which sneaker releases they will receive, and the best way to know is to pay attention to their Twitter. They don't have as many releases as Footlocker, but they have different lifestyle models you wouldn't typically find at the mall. Overall, it's a nice and expensive sneaker boutique to shop at. read more

I don't know that this location gets all the same drops as the bigger stores. They also don't really seem to know what is or isn't coming. Most frustratingly, their web site is extremely unreliable, at best. They seem to be fixing that, though. All that said, they still are the only true sneaker game in town and definitely offer options no one else has. I don't see sales there very often, but the last couple they did have were huge. I have not had any issues with returns, but only had to make one. There's tons of potential for this store to get better, and a lot should start with their updated site and Instagram feed. read more

After reading reviews there was so hesitation in visiting this store. Immediately after entering I was greeted by Chris and another young gentlemen. They were attentive and eager to assist. One of the items I really wanted was not available in the store. Chris was able to reach out to another location and I should be receiving a call soon. I hope the customers with the negative reviews give this store another try. Chris, thank you and you will get my business. read more

20 people cutting the line every release. They don't care at all. Sucks to sit out there 10th in line for 7 hours and not even get anything. There is a couple employees, like Anthony, that are actually good about getting people out of the line that cut. But the majority of the employees do not care at all. read more

Perfect place to find different selection of kicks. Things you will not find other places. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Great music playing. read more

Discovered this place recently. All the latest sneaker drops, decent selection of street fashion brands like Bape and Billionaire Boys Club. Staff is friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. It's like a soho shoe boutique right downtown Raleigh. read more

Great store! Great staff! Store keeps the latest releases. Plan on revisiting the store soon for all of my sneaker needs

this store is scam do not buy something. I ordered shoes and waited 21 days for them. After that they said they do not have the shoes anymore. Also they debit me twice the price of the product. SCAM DO NOT BUY AT SOCIAL STATUS !!!! read more

I was waiting in line yesterday at for these Adidas Mastermind NMD and I was the first person. Waited for 3 hours and was told they don't have the shoes eventhough their social media said they will be getting the shoe. Then was told the shoes will arrive later that day or tomorrow. People that were in line had our names and number written down and was told we would get a call when the shoes arrive that day or the following for us to purchase. I called back later that day and asked about the shoes and was told they were sold. Size 8, 11, and 13. I never got a call or asked if I would perfer those sizes. Being first in line I still didn't get a pair of shoes that are hard to acheive. What kind of business is being ran here? Very DISAPPOINTED in how customers are being treated. Don't buy from this store ever. UNETHICAL and SHADY employess and the owner allows this kind of activity!!! read more
