Sneaker Street

The southern part of Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok, Kowloon between Argyle Street and Dundas Street is also known as Sneakers Street. This is heaven for all shoe buyers and the shops are filled with high-end brands as well as discount shoes.

You can buy all kinds of sports shoes (Basketball, golf, running and football shoes are just a few examples) and accessories here. Some of the brands sold here include Nike, Converse, Adidas, Reebok, New Balance, Puma, K-Swiss, Merrell, Timberland, and Sketchers. Don’t worry about the legitimacy of the products here. The shops and stalls are supplied by major suppliers. Shopkeepers are very knowledgeable and many speak good English to communicate and they know about the latest styles and trends. I guess you can’t find anywhere so many shoes in a small area as on Sneakers Street.

Phone covers and small electronics are also sold in some of the stalls. This market is most frequented by locals and therefore lacks the presence of souvenirs and tourist stuff.
