What reviewers often mention

๐ŸŽฏ

Service quality

Reviews fall into two clear groups. One group names employees and local associates who gave attentive, effective help. The other describes rude managers, customers being ignored, stores closing early, and returns handled poorly.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Value for money

Several reviews point to a wide selection and discounted jerseys or sale prices. Value comes up less often than service and communication.

โšก

User experience

Many customers report fast shipping and repeat orders that went smoothly, with packages arriving in four to five days. In-store visits range from quick, successful team-gear shopping to rushed trips where service didnโ€™t meet expectations.

๐Ÿ”ง

Product quality

Many reviewers say the athletic shoes are authentic and satisfactory, with no issues. A few report receiving the wrong item or a defective product instead of what they ordered.

๐Ÿ“ž

Communication

This stands out as the main negative theme. Reviews repeatedly mention missing shipment tracking, being charged without confirmation, long refund waits, and out-of-stock listings that werenโ€™t updated.

โญ

Overall experience

Experiences look split between high-rated purchases and low-rated service encounters. Positive reviews highlight quick delivery and helpful associates, while negative ones focus on refund delays, missing tracking, and confrontational staff.

Crawford J. 5/5

I had the worst experience with this company. I ordered two pairs of shoes, 2 different sizes, and they were supposed to be delivered together. One pair was sent to me first. 3 weeks later, still waiting for the other one. I contacted them via email and asked them where my order was. They told me that they would check on it. A week later I received an email saying that my order was on its way, but it never arrived. I made two attempts to contact them by phone - both times, I waited on hold for 20+ minutes until I gave up.

I just can't believe that they can think we'll just forget we've ordered and paid for the shoes and keep waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and never receiving any! I've told them I'm going to write a review on this company so hopefully it will help me get my money back or at least an explanation!
