Home to every market, restaurant and shopping arcade imaginable, Mong Kok is the one-stop shop to satisfy all your shopping needs. Dust off your finest negotiation skills and dive into the bartering frenzy. Similar retailers will conveniently congregate in the same area forming easy to remember references such as “flower street” and “sneakers street.” Here you will also find various local delicacies being served at street snack shops or hole-in-the-wall restaurants. One reliable rule of thumb: the smaller the place, the better the food.

I had no interest but I went to the Ladies Market nearby and thought that I may as well browse. There were sneakers for Africa! So much choice. Very busy early on a Sunday evening. Located very close to Mong Kok MTR.Visited November 2024Travelled soloWritten 3 November 2024
- Lisa LMelbourne, Australia347 contributionsLeft without sneakersWent to Mong Kok Sneaker street to look for sneakers only to find every shop has the exact same thing. All small sizes as well. No good for Westerners. Its was packed with tourists all going shop to shop. The best part was checking out the old neighborhoods, seeing the lovely old buildings with the washing hanging out the windows. Walked through the packed market and glad to get out. Only recommend if you don't care there are thousands of the same and only small sizes, otherwise stay away and just buy from proper sports/shoe shops. We left Hong Kong sneakerless. Buts thats ok, the train ride and walk around was the best experience.Visited November 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 January 2025

Sneaker Street is one of two markets that you can visit along Fa Yuen Street in Mongkok. It is situated between Argyle Street to the north and Soy Street to the south. What you will find are several blocks of little more than shoe shops, mostly selling tennis and athletic shoes - hence the name Sneaker Street. There are a few shops dealing in dress shoes, outdoor shoes and other casual footwear as well.
Note: Many of the shops along Sneaker Street are now dealing in mostly in Nike and Adidas these days. Other brands like Puma, Sketchers and the likes are scattered around and there are still a few lesser knowns as well.
Note: In recent years, a new outdoor themed mall has opened along Fa Yuen Street called The Forest. There you will find outdoor specialists selling footwear as well as hiking, camping and other outdoor related gear.
Overall, Sneaker Street is a neat place to pass by and to do a bit of shoe shopping if you are in the area. Prices are reasonable and competitive, usually better than what you will find in similar places in large shopping malls. However, don't expect much in terms of dirt cheap prices for decent quality shoes at Sneaker Street.

It's just like any factory outlets. Get down at Mong Kok MTR and walk towards ladies market, it's not very prominently written anywhere but as you see a lot of show shops you know the place.
The rates are less if the shoe is on sale, but the collection on sale is limited. We bought one pair for all 4 of us and the rates were cheaper than in India for those models. But, nowadays on an Amazon sale or any online sale day, you can get these things even here. We just didn't want to come back empty handed!

We caught the MTR to Mong Kok and followed the map to Sneaker Street. Lots and lots of shoe shop, selling the same thing. Overpriced big brands. Very few bargains to be had. Always know your price before shopping, you wouldn't want to get caught up in the atmosphere. Interesting but no bargains. Was handy in that it was only a street away from the Ladies Market!

All the big brands (Nike, Adidas, Reebok, New Balance, Puma, Converse) can be found up and down this section of Fa Yuen St, which is locally known as ‘Sneaker St’. Prices range from small discounts up to half price or more.
If you’re after the very latest colour or style, then you can expect to get only a small saving but if you’re simply looking to get some new runners then the savings can be big.
Most of the shops offer lower prices if you buy more than one pair (which is pretty easy to do). I recently bought a pair of Adidas runners and a pair of Superstars for less than half what I would expect to pay elsewhere (#87 Fa Yuen St).
The shoes here are the real deal. The shops are licenced sellers and the shoes are all displayed with labels that clearly show the price and sale price so you can compare prices easily. However be aware that if you go one street over to Ladies Market on Tung Choi St, you will definitely be looking at fakes.
‘Sneaker St’ does not run the full length of Fa Yuen St. It’s the part that runs between Argyle and Dundas Streets, parallel to Ladies Market. There is also a bit of spill-over into some of the side streets like Shantung and Nelson St. As it is so close to Ladies Market, it’s very easy to combine the two in a big shopping trip.
Shopping here can definitely be overwhelming the first time you go, especially if it's a hot day. The shops are air conditioned and you can sit to try on shoes but nevertheless, the sheer number of shops and variety of shoes can leave you feeling exhausted. It’s best to have an idea of what you want before you go and take a pair of your own socks for trying on shoes. If you’re buying for kids who are not with you, make sure you know their size in US, UK and European sizing. Even better if you can take one of their shoes with you (or an outline of their foot) for comparison.
Be aware that nothing will open until relatively late in the morning. There’s not much point going over before 11am as neither Sneaker nor Ladies Market will be open before then. On the upside, they both stay open late into the night and many of the shops will still be open until 10pm.
GETTING THERE: Public transport on the MTR is by far the easiest and cheapest way to get there. Catch the MTR to Mong Kok station and take Exit D3 which will bring you up very close to Fa Yuen St (see photo of map below).

VANS shop in Sneaker Street service were horrible. the male staff came out of nowhere and provided exceptional rude service as though we owe him a living. bought 4 pairs of shoes and he throwed my receipts into the the shopping bag and left showing his tantrum.
worse service ever. Went to another VANS branch in Time Square where they provide warm welcome to customers. what a world of difference!

We've been there but in the morning, might be around 10/11 am and all stores are still closed, they're still preparing to open. So sad, I forgot to search it since we're on a rush cuz it's our last day. We still took a round hoping that at least a store is open, unfortunately none so we just got contented by looking at the shoes' thru the glass walls. Hoping that we can go back there again at the right time.

Wow , sneakers street alright, so if you are after sneakers this is the place to shop. It is just shop after shop full of sneakers so just pick one. They all got the same prices so it doesn't really matter were you go, you will get some good bargains here and if you buy more then a couple of pairs you can bargain with them and get a good deal.

Plenty of choice of all the major brands like Nike, Adidas, Converse, Vans etc. If the first shop doesn't have your colour, size etc, just go to the next one! You will get a pair of shoes for half the Australian price.

We accidentally stumbled on this street and only realised where we were when we saw shops after shops of shops selling sneakers. This region is a sneaker-fan's heaven as they have an amazing range of sneakers. I've read that the prices are not cheaper than elsewhere in the world but I think one would go for the range.

I went there during a business trip in Hong Kong. I was living near the sneaker street and I spent a complete day there.
As a true sneakerhead I had probably too much expectation.
I collect sneakers for a long time and I was willing to find new pairs for my collection.
I was really disappointing with what I found.
Half of the shops had the exact same shoes and I had big doubt about the authenticity. I found an air Jordan shop who had some nice models and they were legit but they tried to sell me some at an incredible price so I left.
Definitely a place for tourists who do not care about getting the same shoes as everybody else and who are not picky about authenticity.

Hi, I was wondering if is save to go shopping around Mongkok few days before Chinese New Year. Are the shop working as usual? I would appreciate any info, I haven’t been in Hong Kong for three months.
Written 13 January 2020
I don't know exactly for the working schedule in Chinese New Year for those shops because based on information that i browsed there are many activities will be held in HK during that occasion such as fireworks, parades, festivals, etc. Means, there will be a lot of crowd there so logically there will be a lot of stores open as well to hold shopping festival, great discount, and so on

Hi happysheila, sorry for the late reply and it may be too late. Yes they have western sizes, but as soon as you go past 10-11 for men, it's very hard to find. There's only a couple of shops that stock over that size, and that may be only 1 or 2 styles.

Underarmour shoes available out here? Are the brands genuine? The authenticity of branded shoes I mean.
Written 12 August 2018
Plenty of options including Underarmour. There are literally mare than 100 shops so you will need to choose wisely. Stick to the larger reputable sports stores and you will be ok. There's not much of a difference in price between the stores so spend a few dollars more to be safe,
Hope this helps.
Written 13 August 2018
Hi there, honestly, I'm not sure. However, the advice I received from my friends who been there is to visit the recognised store for purchase. This means that if they are push cart stalls or street stalls without any signage, don't get it from there. Choose those with shop front, either the brand's shop or recognise retail store that sells different brands. That should keep you safe from the fake ones. Hope this helps!
