Sneaker 63: Manchester’s home for rare footwear finds

Consignment store Sneaker 63 is already a well-established favourite among the sneakerheads of Manchester. But you don’t have to be a collector of rare kicks to appreciate the range they’ve curated. Located in the city centre, it’s something of a hidden gem considering its prime location, situated right underneath a sushi shop in the heart of Chinatown (where one of the founders used to work before he secured his footing in the sneaker trade).

Sneaker 63 prides itself on the collection it has amassed as Manchester’s first consignment store specialising in rare shoes, clothes, and accessories. It’s the go-to spot for hard-to-find and sought-after sneaker styles that you might be struggling to source online – or didn’t even know were released yet. It’s said that the Air Jordan 1 High Banned Patents were in stock at Sneaker 63 months before they became widely available in October 2021. So if you’re wondering where to buy rare sneakers, it’s that reputation that makes Sneaker 63 the best place to find rare trainers in Manchester.

What to expect from Sneaker 63

Sneaker 63 is the real deal. We’re not saying it’s always cheap – right now a size 8 sample pair of Jordan 3 Retro Tinker Oregon Ducks PE are retailing at £15k – but what you can guarantee is authenticity and an enviably large collection that carries something to cover all tastes, including a Supreme branded brick (if that’s what you’re into).

It’s not all bank-breaking prices, either. If rare kicks aren’t such a big deal for you, Sneaker 63 is just as well stocked in the classics like Nike Air Max, Air Force 1s, and even Yeezys that fall under the £300 mark. In fact, Co-owner and Executive Director, Jack Mand Chen, says that, “How much are your Yeezys?” is the most asked question in store.

What you should know about Sneaker 63

Sneaker 63 is a true treasure trove of pieces that you’ve probably heard of but might never have imagined you’d see in the flesh, but you don’t need to ask if everything’s legit: it definitely is.

As a trusted buyer and seller of sneakers, clothing, and accessories, Sneaker 63 claims to have the most advanced legit check service around. So even if you’re parting with top dollar – or a style you took sweat, tears, and sleepless nights to secure – you know you’re in safe hands.

For sellers, it takes the worry out of online scams and cash meetups. For buyers, it takes the worry out of, well, those same things: all buyers of designer and rare goods know the familiar pang of anxiety that the piece they’re dropping good cash on might turn out to be a fake.

As well as the obvious details, Sneaker 63’s legit check analyses the colour and quality of the shoe box, visible markings, the stitching, and even uses a UV light to check the entire shoe, box, and labels – and they have no qualms when it comes to turning away anything that’s not top notch. Acting as a market place between buyer and seller, Sneaker 63 is trusted to keep the shoes they consign in as-new condition so they’re all shrink wrapped in store to maintain their quality, no matter how many would-be buyers pick them up and admire them.
