Tampa / Orlando Florida sneaker heads??

wuddup NT!

I'm visiting Orlando next week, coming from Toronto. I'm escaping the cold bros.

Just want some tips on where to go for shopping, eats and maybe even nightlife around Orlando.

I see that there's a Nike Clearance store. Any updates/reviews on that? 

We were going to hit up a couple of outlets for sure.

Any tips/help is appreciated.

Thanks NT
 
Whats up Tampa,

Im just moving here from the Chicago area but was born and raised in Virginia. I see that it may be tough getting major releases around here. Is there a good place to get info on shoe events? Anybody know the Facebook groups names for the Tampa sneaker pages. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This thread has been very informative so far since ive been so let's keep it going.
 
I'd say University is the place to go, especially since there is a FNL, JJ, FTA and Champs.

If you're trying to scoop retros, I'd post there. As far as limited releases go, University is probably a tier 2.5 HoH. So they get a majority of QS, etc. They're just kind of grimey about it sometimes.

International is hit or miss. And as far as shoes, University gets more quantity.

Florida Mall and Pembroke are tier 2 HOH. Dadeland is tier 1 maybeish (meaning they get almost all the QS like Lebron Champ Packs, Lebron X MVP, Jordan's, etc).

Appreciate it.
Are there any sneaker shows/events that happen in the Tampa/Orlando Area?
There is sneakergames coming to olrando this weekend. Other shows to look out for are Bay Area Soleciety, Sole Fest, Luv My Kicks, and a few others. Bay Area is the best one by far in the area. Next one is in June at USF.
One more question. If you had to say which HOH got the most releases which would it be; international, University, or roughly the same?
University hands down.  Quantity is 3x or more than what Int'l gets.  Inbox me man, always looking to link up with local NT fam.

Nike Outlets in Florida are bad
 
I don't really shop at Orlando but Ellenton has been walk every time I've gone.

I like Saw Grass more. But with the way things are with the resellers and their scores of children buyers, it'll probably be a wrap on high value items.

QFT .. That's exactly what I anticipate to happen at these outlets being built here.
 
Anyone know of good/great local Facebook groups and IGs to pick up shoes? I'm interesting is scoping Chicago 1s or other gems.

thats one i have and i have sold on there but not too much on the buying, eveyr FB group has its issues though so just beware and be safe always and University is shady for QS releases but International is notorious for backdooring mad products and yes all of our local (ellenton and Orlando) outlets suck and pretty much get picked through before good product hits the shelf
 
^^^I'm a member of that group as well as Tampa Sole Society. I figured there was a group with some heat for decent prices.

And I'm familiar with University. Camped out early and been there on dreaded AJ 11 ticket days lol. Hilarity always ensues. I've never had to pop the trunk. And I won a raffle for the SBBs at International so it's not completely shady. Same with University (but I rarely win Raffles there). Ellenton is the most putrid Outlet I've been to. At least Orlando gets N7.
