Okay, so this wasn’t my first experience at a Nike store but it was THE BEST EXPERIENCE 🥰 (and I’ve been to at least one in every country I’ve visited in the last 6 years). The manager Niles and his team (hi 👋🏼 Aika & Kun 🫶🏼) helped me and my two friends customize very fun & unique souvenirs. We stayed chatting for entirely too long (I’m sure they were sick of us, jk jk 😜), but they all remained cheerful, professional, and helpful. They were all so kind and patient as we arranged, changed, then changed again, and finally finalized all our designs (which took quite a while as each of us purchased several customized items 😅).

Helpful Notes: You’ll need to download the Nike app to purchase the Nike By You custom items. I would download it before you get there and register your Nike.com account or make one. Allow it to use your location so it knows you’re at the Nike in Harajuku. Also, some designs are/do end up sold out so I’d suggest going earlier rather than later (we went in the evening and some stuff wasn’t available but it still turned out pretty good, see attached photos). Unlike some of the other Nike stores that I’ve been to that offer the Nike by You services, you don’t have to go early and sign up to do the customization which is another reason I’d consider this the best Nike store experience. I would like to note because it’s important for some people, everyone spoke English to us… or brought someone over who could, which was also really helpful and helped create a more comfortable environment.

(My only complaint is that the survey QR code at the bottom of the receipt expires after like 7 days which I only found out about 8 days after I purchased these in November 2024, so I had to sign into my Gmail to leave this review because the team at Nike Harajuku really deserves recognition for leaving us with such a good impression and...

Amazing!! WooI can't believe it!! Fews days ago, My friend just bought some new shoes in this store,she chosed and checked the size is okay then she bought. Then the clerk went to warehouse to pick the new shoes to my friend to check out. Yesterday,she came back to Taiwan and she gave one pair to me, I opened the shoebox,picked up the shoe,checked the shoe ....then I found the bottom of the shoe is dirty. It is not brand new? So,my friend went home quickly and checked her (new?) shoe, oh my god,it was same situation. Two shoes, the bottom of the shoes were dirty,which means that they are not brand new. Why? We don't understand it. Sell the dirty shoe to customers? or the second -hand? But they were not a special offer. Anyway,the true is,we won't flight to Japan again recently,so...I want to share this experience to you guys, and remind you. If you want to buy some shoes in this store,you better confirmed the shoes one more time before you leave, to checked everything is great. The shoe is all cleaned.

But we won't go this store to buy shoes anymore....
