Last time I went to Kickz 101 the range was garbage! Barely any jerseys, limited shoe sizes etc. Although this was about 18 months ago so hopefully they have a bit more in stock.

Kickz 101 is a waste of time, went there in June and it had no NBA or college gear.
Go to Smith st in Collingwood, there is a store called the Basketball Outlet. It is down near the Nike factory outlet, this is probably the best place to look.

Kickz101 died in the ass royally the last 3 times I've been there over the past 2 years. Went from being fully stocked, to under-stocked to "if it doesn't have Lebron or Kobe on it, we don't sell it".

Kickz101 is at the bottom of Elizabeth St about 200 metres up from Flinders St Station. Give it a shot, but don't expect much.

Try eastbay.com
Buy direct from the US. with Australian dollar at 91 cents its worh a look.
Eastbay always have 20% discounts sales so waint till then and this will pay the freight cost.

Agree on the Eastbay.com option. I have now used it twice and it is very reliable and you can basically buy whatever your heart desires. They have a massive range all available online that is unrivalled with any retailer here in Australia.

I can vouch for it.

Try getting stock from the suppliers. Adidas minimums for a single players jersey is 130 units to bring them into the country. Kickz101 has to rely on Footlocker and Rebel to order stock. 7 different players = 910 jerseys alone.

I think Kickz101 would rather players the others don't stock. Was there yesterday and the had an ok range. Things may improve I've heard.

Try and support a company that wants to promote the game of basketbal, instead of bitching like usual. It's not easy dealing with these sneaker companies.

Agreed, Kickz is a dump these days. Went there a few times in the first 3-ish years it was open, and it was the shiz. Now nothing.

As mentioned, the Footlock on Swanston is the best cbd option.

Eastbay. Used them for years (necessary for large feet). They stock pretty much everything and if you order Thursday goods delivered to your door Monday. Can't be bad.

yeah, eastbay has a very reasonable range of choice of colours for the hyperfuse shoe.
