Six Shoe Joints in Bangkok That Sell Authentic Jordans

Sometime during the last seven years, Jordans transitioned from being an American shoe thing to becoming a fashion staple. The brand owes it all to the insane exposure it gets from the biggest celebrities, basketball stars, and sneakerheads. When Scoop Johnson of ESPN wrote about Jordans being a cultural force, there’s a good chance that even he, from all those years ago, could not have foreseen this.

The brand’s story is the same in Bangkok. But, then again, where is it not? Still, if you need a guide on where to get your pair in the Thai capital, let The Beat Asia be your Jordan compass. We’ll point you north and true to the right shoe joints.

Project Hype

Project Hype is a shoe haven, and save for its manufacturer, no one else can match their Jordan selections. When a store gets a sampler of Travis Scott’s and a regular supply of OG Jordan runs, it’s as good as having a plug within Nike. They carry sizes of both sexes, and there is no shortage of sneaker gems in the store. You may go to their store with a different pair in mind, but before you exit their doors, you’ll probably be carrying a pair of J’s with you.

atmos

Of Nike’s creative partners, atmos has a special place. Not only do they release their own, even co-branded, Air Max 1’s every year, their branches from Tokyo to Bangkok are essentially Jordan outposts. Low’s, Mid’s, and Hi’s, every major release is in here. The swoosh is strong here.

SLUM LTD

SLUM LTD caters to a lifestyle, and part of that life includes owning a couple of the hypest pairs of Jordan’s. They are royal stockists of the most sought-after releases, and if their online catalogue is correct, there is a pair of Dior J’s right now sitting on it. That’s one of the rarest pairs in existence, and a testament to what you can get from this store.

SEEK Thailand

The taste of the youth rules at SEEK Thailand, which is a roundabout way to say that you need to watch out for their Jordan releases. The best thing, though, is that the shoes they choose to release aren’t priced outrageously. A pair like the “Green Bean” J’s can definitely be your daily shoes, allowing you to go from the office to the blacktop without missing a beat.

JD Sports

The “King of Trainers” wouldn’t be here if not for their handpicked Jordans. They aren’t the hypest, but pairs like “Retro Lucky Green” or UNC’s will get your feet wet in this world. Not that you’d want to ever get your precious pair wet, or even creased.

Nike Thailand

This list couldn’t have ended without the company itself. Compared to the last four years, Nike has made it much easier to get your hands on limited release Jordans. But, unlike third-party stores that often hold raffles, those who get to their app or store first get served first. So, turn those app notifications on. You won’t want to miss your most awaited pair of Jordans.
