Our business and products

Kicksology.ca is Canada’s premier basketball performance footwear store and, as of 2024, the first and only retailer in the country to feature emerging brands like Li-Ning, Way of Wade, Anta, and The Kai. We are specialized in basketball, offering top-tier performance footwear designed to enhance, protect, and elevate the game for players of all levels.
We're a online store with one storefront location at Aberdeen Square Mall, Richmond, BC. You can find us here: Google Map

We source our products directly from every brand's retail chain. Giving us the best possible price to support our local market. Sometimes we accept consignment products, as long as they are within our product scope and conditions.

All products sold by Kicksology.ca are 100% authentic and sourced through official distribution channels and trusted suppliers. We do not sell replicas, unauthorized products, or counterfeit footwear.

We'd always try to stock the latest and best performance footwear selections, but we'd also need to monitor the market trends and demands about styles and brands. We'd evaluate the performance and style of all new products from the emerging brands and try to bring the best and latest to the market in a reasonable pricing.
We use our Instagram to post all new stock and restocks. Please follow our Instagram page for all latest releases and updates.

-
Partial of the products we carry are rare to find, or limited edition releases. These are a small portion of our selections and are meant for sneaker collections. These are not affecting our goal of providing reasonable pricing on best performance basketball footwear.
-
No. We don't position our store as a fashion store, and we believe all players should be treated equally and fairly. So we don't charge size premiums.
-
As the only store in Canada carrying some of the best emerging brands, we don't usually have sale events. Sometimes we have pop-up sales or holiday sales. For all the latest events and news, please follow our Instagram page for updates.
-
Every brand has different size conversions. So we don't believe the term "true to size" is accurate. If you're new to one brand, the easiest way to find your size is convert your current shoe size to CM or MM, which usually found on your shoe tag. Then find the US size matching with the same CM/MM on the new brand.
There are other factors to shoe-fitting, like width, design, material, padding and etc. So trying on is always the best way to tell if a shoe would fit or not.
