When people go sneaker shopping in Toronto, they tend to hit up the trusted faithfuls that have provided them with excellent service and products. Stores such as Capsule and HAVEN come to mind, but Toronto has seen an increase of sneaker shops over the years.

Consignment shops are the latest trend in the sneaker world and Essential is one of Toronto’s first large consignment shops with two locations, one in downtown Toronto and the second in North York. Although you may be paying a premium price, they will probably have the pair you missed out on release day or the rare pair that is on your bucket list.

HotBox Toronto

Another one of Toronto’s consignment shops that popped up recently, HotBox can be found at Yonge and Gerrard in the heart of downtown. They have recently renovated their storefront and it can be argued that although their store and inventory is smaller than their competitor, they make up for it with their prices.
