Finding authentic sneakers in India used to be a pain. Limited options, high prices, and the constant fear of fakes. But the landscape has changed dramatically. Here are the best stores — both physical and online — for buying genuine kicks in India.
Multi-Brand Sneaker Boutiques
VegNonVeg
India's first multi-brand sneaker boutique, founded by Anand Ahuja. Stores in Delhi and Mumbai with an excellent online store. They carry Nike, Jordan, New Balance, Asics, and other premium brands. Prices are higher than direct brand stores, but the curation and experience are worth it. They also get exclusive releases.
Superkicks
Present in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. Superkicks has quickly become one of the most important sneaker retailers in India. Great range of brands, regular drops, and a strong community presence. Their stores are worth visiting just for the experience.
Limited Edt
A Singapore-based boutique that has expanded to India. They carry premium brands and exclusive collaborations that you will not find elsewhere. More fashion-forward than other retailers.

Stores to Avoid
Be cautious with local market stores claiming to sell "imported" Nike and Adidas at heavy discounts. If the price seems too low, the product is probably fake. Stick to authorised retailers and verified resale platforms. Your feet and your wallet will thank you.
