BAIT

"The only thing to go for is to see if they have a good discount on gear and sneakers. That’s pretty much the only reason I drop in when I’m In the area. The staff aren’t that welcoming and they give off “I’m the too kool for school” vibe."

"BAIT ruined my sons Christmas! It was a big decision to bring my 10 year old son to stand in line the 35 degree weather but I DID, and what a mistake. What shoe was dropping you ask? It was the release of the Kobe 6 reverse Grinch when the store opened at 12noon December 15th. We organically waited there for 6 hours and counted how many people/chairs (mostly ghost chairs) was ahead of us and we number 47 & 48. Not only people cut the line but there are so many backdoor sales (who wasn’t in line) that was going down with people heavily involved in the shoe community that it didn’t give the public a fair chance to earn the opportunity to purchase. People showed up hours after us landing these shoes. Minutes before the store opened BAIT messed up here and started handing numbered tickets to anyone who rushed the entrance not caring about anybody who continued to wait in line. I can hear the store owner/workers making a feeble attempt to see who was in front, but the fact there being a crowd they just blindly gave the tickets and went off of what people said. I don’t want to do business with a company that treats their customers this way. This was my sons first experience and it wasn’t a good one. We won’t be coming back. My friends and family who are avid shoe collectors just stood in line night before for the powerpuff girl sb dunks @35th Ave Skate shop and they have a super legit system and handed multiple tickets throughout the day at random times hours before the release. Brilliant! It shows you were physically present and earned you a spot. They was no weird “ghost chairs” because they didn’t allow it. I don’t want to hear from BAIT saying we are not responsible for what goes on outside because they could have easily prevented all these shenanigans with a ticket system. You are responsible knowing normal hard working people are standing in line hours (sometimes days) before you open. Instead, they decide to SHOW UP MINUTES before they open. I’ve had my share of standing in line (including Nike, Best Buy, Foot Locker, Razor, etc.) and never experienced anything like this. I’m not looking for hand outs… I just wanted to get my son his Kobe’s for Christmas."

"An experience like no other always has exclusive that you can’t find anywhere else in the city and sometimes in the world you got to come down and check these guys out check out my pics this is how we get them for new releases"

"The Best retail sneaker store in Seattle! They carry a huge variety of brands and have the nicest people working there."

"Great shop for sneakers, streetwear, and collectibles at fair prices. This isn’t like a typical overpriced sneaker resale shop. This shop is goated and usually sells new sneaker drops at retail, although lines are long and it’s first come first serve. They have Jordans, Yeezys, and other “hype” brands. The shop has a dope aesthetic and has tons of cool collectibles to buy. They also have a buy 4 get 1 free deal on blind boxes, which are about $7-$12 each, and they’re really nice about it. If you like the one that’s on display, they’ll let you exchange the one you bought, if you open in store. The blind boxes are My Hero, Sanrio, Art of War, One Punch Man, and more. The staff are also really helpful and super chill. Would definitely recommend checking out when you’re in Cap Hill!"
