Spotlight: Nike Air Jordan XIII Retro "JASON KIDD" Player Exclusive

A couple years ago, we were able to get our hands on a pair of Nike Air Jordan XIII "JASON KIDD" Player Exclusive Promo Samples.  The owner originally decided to keep the shoes for a short period but recently brought it back in to our shop in hopes of finding a new home for this rare collectible.  Better known as the "Grey Toe" colorway, this player exclusive was worn by Jason Kidd during his time w/ the New Jersey Nets.  Shoes will be listed in our webstore shortly, but can also be purchased from our eBay store (click here).  Check out the detailed pictures below.

Year: 2004
Name: Nike Air Jordan XIII Retro Jason Kidd PE
Colorway: White/Team Red/Flint Grey
Style Number: JBM-277-M21-C1
Size: Men's US 14

Footage Berkeley eBay Store Now Up & Running!

A few hours ago, we officially launched our eBay store for merchandise available @ the Footage Berkeley shop.  Both shops will be sharing the same website Coolshoeshine.com, but will have sepereate eBay pages.  eBay user ID "FOOTAGEBERKELELY" will contain items from our Berkeley Shop and eBay ID "THECOOLSHOESHINE" will continue to carry goods from our Fullerton shop.

We intended to list the hundreds of items we have @ the Berkeley shop up on eBay this evening, but fell a little behind schedule.  Rest assure that we are working long hours to get everything listed, so check back often and be first to check out the newest additions. 

Thank you for everyone's support.

Footage By Thecoolshoeshine, Berkeley Opening Day - April 13

We wanted to take a little time and thank everyone who stopped by the shop today.  It was great meeting new people in the community and also nice to put faces on friends we've communicated with through forums, Instagram, Facebook, etc.

We initially considered delaying the opening of our shop because we wanted everything to be perfect for the special day.  We weren't content with the amount of inventory we had on display and wanted to stock our shelves with as many sneakers as possible.  At the same time, we were just so excited to get everything going, we decided to go ahead and open our doors today.  Besides, being that we are a consignment shop, we felt it was just as important to leave inventory space for our consignors' merchandise.

Overall, we are extremely pleased to have the shop open and ready for business.  We look forward to making more friends and assisting buyers, consignors, sellers with any service needed.  Footage Berkeley is only in its primitive stages of existence so expect bigger and better things from us.  We completely understand that the success of our consignment shop is solely based on how much support we receive from our customers.  We are 100% committed to proving that we are deserving of your business and will be here 7 days a week providing the best service we possibly can.

Thank you!

FOOTAGE BERKELEY (NOT-SO-GRAND) OPENING! Friday, April 13

Great news friends!  Our Footage By Thecoolshoeshine shop in Berkeley, CA will be opening its doors on Friday, April 13.  Nothing "grand", just exactly how we did for our previous openings.  The opening of this store has been in the works since September 2011.  We sincerely believe that if we provide the right service to our customers, word will eventually spread and the support will follow.  So please check us out and give us an opportunity to assist you with all your sneaker purchasing, selling, trading, and consignment needs!

Sneakers from our Berkeley shop will soon be available on Coolshoeshine.com.  Our website will also categorize which items are in Berkeley and Fullerton.  Footage Berkeley will also have its own eBay store (check it out here).  It currently has ZERO items for sale, but we are releasing about 400 pairs of sneakers on to that eBay store Saturday, April 14th - 5 PM Pacific so be sure to keep an eye out for some rare gems!

A reminder to our consigners, that you can now print our consignment form directly from Coolshoeshine.com.  We thought it was an important option for our customers to print the forms and take their time to fill them out at home before dropping merchandise off at the shop.  Also provides consigners who MAIL their items in to us, for easy access to the forms.

A special thank you to Andrew Chavez (some of you may know him), who used to work at our Fullerton shop.  He has relocated to Berkeley and will be running the shop out there!  This would have been a much more difficult transition if he were unwilling to make the move.

Be sure to follow us for updates regarding our shops via Facebook, Twitter (@coolshoeshine & @footageDTF), and Instagram (@thecoolshoeshine)

We look forward to meeting everyone and making new friends. Thank you so much everyone!

A Nice Milestone For Footage By Thecoolshoeshine - 20,000 eBay Feedback - 99.4% Positive

In the last few hours, we just received our 20,000th eBay feedback (check it out here).


A nice little milestone for our company.  20,000 eBay feedback - As you can see on our feedback history, we haven't made EVERYONE happy, but I think I can live with pleasing 99.4% of all eBay customers that have left us feedback over the last nine years.

A large percentage of buyers (I'd assume it's primarily those who were happy with their purchases and have no complaints) do not even bother to leave feedback.  Also, eBay's feedback system does not give sellers the option to leave negative feedback for any reason on buyers' accounts, which gives buyers the opportunity to leave negative feedback on seller accounts for even the pettiest reasons without worrying about receiving retaliatory negative feedback from sellers.

So yes, we are just fine with our 99.4%  positive feedback.  Thank you so much to our friends/customers who continue to shop in our eBay store and support what we are doing.  We are extremely appreciative.  Thank you once again.
