Our History
As retro sneakers returned to the marketplace, the demand for authentic and vintage items escalated. In 1999, the most trusted source for sneaker seekers to satisfy that demand was vintagekicks.com.
Through its first six years, Vintage Kicks established a well-noted reputation for curating the finest selection of hard-to-find sneakers, supplied by an international network of trusted consignors. The goal was to make each pair available to sneaker enthusiasts from around the world, making those coveted pieces a little more accessible.
By 2005, Vintage Kicks' position of prominence among sneaker buyers and sellers, and an ever-growing inventory, inspired the brand to evolve and chart a new course for its future. That next step was Fresh Kickz. Established to better represent its efforts in making rare and authentic sneakers available, Fresh Kickz was created to offer a physical retail location for both customers and consignors.
The first store opened its doors in April 2005 at 254 Greene Street in New York, immediately expanding Fresh Kickz consigning and selling operations. The brand explored locations throughout the world the likes of Canada, Japan and Britain was a target but we decided to open one at 188 Pitt St, Sydney NSW Australia.
NOWHERE BUT HERE
Since 2005, Fresh Kickz has been the premiere destination for locating the rarest and most coveted sneakers ever produced. From limited editions to unworn vintage sneakers, Fresh Kickz has fresh pairs of your must-haves and your sneaker grails.
Today, they welcome thousands of daily customers and ship hundreds of sneakers around the world from its two locations. And they’re always brand new and guaranteed authentic.

As long as the item item is in stock, all customers are empowered with the same opportunity to acquire the sneakers they want.
Fresh Kickz is the only place where you can still try on those hard-to-find sneakers — whether they released a decade ago or they're an unreleased friends and family pair — and decide if they’re right for you. Whether it’s a rare collaboration that only released internationally, or a limited running sneaker that was exclusive to a small boutique, Fresh Kickz connects you with the items you want.
