Where do you go to get your fresh kicks? There are a lot of obvious options, like stores in Tampa International Plaza. But what if you want to shop local?

According to VladTV, the popular go-to sneaker store Foot Locker is expected to close over 400 mall-based stores by 2026. We’re not sure yet how many Tampa area stores will be affected. But we have the list of other sneaker stores to check out in the area in case the go-to is no longer an option.

Just the other day, Meredith hit up Fresh Rags in Pinellas Park for a new pair of New Balance sneakers. She was saying they had so many options to choose from, it really made her decision difficult. Being indecisive meant that she left with multiple pairs.
