Where to Buy Hype Sneakers in the Metro
It’s never too late to start your sneaker collection! And what better way to break ground than to cop the most fire sneakers in the market today? Usually, sneakers that are rare and expensive fall under the category of “hype” sneakers.
Hype is a coined term that usually refers to designer brand sneakers or a collaboration between designer brands and shoe brands like Nike and Air Jordan. These sneakers are often times hard to find and only come in a limited number of pairs.
To help you out, we compiled a list of stores where you can get these hype sneakers in the metro, putting style and swag to your every step.
Cop Garden
Founded in 2018 by a young entrepreneur and sneakerhead Adrian Garcia, Cop Garden has become one of the household names when it comes to rare sneaker finds. Here, you can not only buy but also sell, trade, and consign shoes.
This store in Makati might be hidden but they are not unknown to the public. In fact, their customers consist of popular collegiate and basketball players in the country, as well as local celebrities.

Diamond Sneaks
Diamond Sneaks carries a variety of hype sneaker brands and types ranging from running and basketball shoes to collectible finds that can spruce up any outfit. Their shoes also come in small sizes for women, which are sometimes a bit harder to find in physical stores.
Another great thing about Diamond Sneaks is that they also support local streetwear brands like The Good Guy Clothing, MNLA Apparels, Solecity, and more.

Shoe Game Manila is an evidence of Ron’s passion for shoes with their curated collection of Yeezys, limited edition pieces from Nike, and high-end pairs from Supreme. They guarantee customer satisfaction from the moment the buyer opens the box to actually wearing the pair.
