My daily tasks usually start by checking my Facebook
messenger. These includes inquiries to typical questions from people from
asking if their pair is fake, to what pairs are coming out this week. Questions
can get random and I receive messages a lot. Now, one of the most common
question I get is “where can I buy shoes that are legit if its no longer
available at Nike or Titan?” So that being said. I’m making a list of physical stores
that I’m aware of and has done business in the past that I found legitimate and
easy to deal with. Prices are also fair and you can be certain you are getting
the bang for the buck. Please take note that this is just a personal opinion and
if I miss a store don’t be offended as ill surely include you on my next article. List is in no particular order.
1.HEGO
Located in the south not so far from my home. Hego is one of
the hidden gems of laguna not yet fully discovered by sneaker enthusiast. They
boast a collection of rare Jordans to yeezy and even apparels. Aside from the
actual store, they have a website where you can use your credit card and maybe
ask your bank to have it on a payment plan if you are on a budget. You can make
an online purchase by going to www.hegoph.com.
Customer service is also extra ordinary! Aside from selling kicks. They also do
cleaning and customs cheaper than your usual shop. I wish they expand to other
locations. You can contact them by messaging them at their official Facebook account below.
