Diego and the team at Leaders are absolute class acts and the store always has some of the best new shoes. Been shopping here for years and is always a good experience.
The reviews say customer service is good which surprised me bc the guy sitting on the chair, probably the owner or manager, was really rude and standoffish. came here on my last day Chicago trip from NY and wanted to show support. Sign on the door said appt only and to call the number which isn’t shown online. I was in front of the store and wanted to respect that so I called and he responded “just come in then” and hung up. No greeting, no service, no thanks for purchasing. Only the other employee working there was super helpful and nice. Still bought something to show some love but that guy needs to show some decency and open mindedness to new customers. Need to take it down a notch and be a little humble.Doesn’t mean YOU shouldn’t take down a notch too as you can clearly take time to respond to honest negative reviews that reflect an experience but can’t take time to actually communicate with EVERYONE that walks thru that door.
One of the best boutique in chicago. Great service and the staff so welcoming. I got good deals there and probably you will clothes or kicks nowhere else to find in Chicago area.
Best way to get your hands on dope sneakers and streetwear, but you get even better customer service. Amazing ambience and authenticity. Leaders 1354 takes care of you. I drove all the way from Detroit, Mi and never have a problem with Ty and the rest of their team.If you want to go to Leaders they wont disappoint
Its always a family affair here... Great product, great prices, great team and customer service! Diego is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge on everything from Chicago culture and history to all things hip hop! Had to cop the Power to the People tee on this go round but still need the Starter jacket on my next visit
Awesome shop! Best part of the west loop community. Plenty of cool stuff for every style and always getting new gear every week. Great customer service too!
Amazing space and Shane and Diego are Great!!!
Very good customer service got quality everything
Great place to shop for the latest dope sneakers.. Very friendly & Great customer service and they can really give you great sneaker & retail history. Definitely a fan 👍
Great store. Black owned business. Give back to your community. They keep giving back to theirs. Shirts and styles are legit. Unapologetically Chicago culture.
If youre a sneaker head, you have to come down here. great shoes for great prices. 5 stars for sure.
Leaders is one of my favorite Chicago sneaker boutiques! They offer a wide range of different and exclusive sneakers, their shirts are the best t-shirts they wash well and they cut well for the perfect summer crop! My ultimate favorite items are those cozy long socks they sale!! Perfect for movie nights on the couch with a blanket. If you live in Chicago or are just passing through Chicago check out Leaders!
The store was small compared to the one in the other places but they still had plenty of choices for us. The parking is rather large so do not worry about finding some. I recommend this place 100%.
The best store in Chicago for homegrown culture via apparel. A true gem that represents the authenticity of the city. Check this place out as soon as youre able to.
The staff that work here are the goats. definitely should shop here 💯💼🐐
Great shoes collections
I have been a customer/fan of this brand going on some years now and I dont see that changing any time soon. The staff are some of nicest guys I have ever met and over time I developed a friendship with them. I love the products because even though I no longer live in Chicago when I wear Leaders gear I feel like I am carrying a small part of my roots with me wherever I go. I always look forward to stopping in the shop when Im home to see my Leaders family and catch up. Keep up the great work.
One of the best stores to get unique athletic apparel. From socks, to hoodies you will not be disappointed. Not to mention, the staff is knowledgeable and will completely turn your shopping into an experience.#leadneverfollow
This place is a must stop for anyone that has a love for shoes, street wear, and great people. The staff here is great, Vic and Ty are top notch. The product here is amazing and even the Leaders brand items are insane, cant go wrong. Love the collaborations they do with bigger brands too. Definitely check them out if you are in the lovely city of Chicago!
Staff was friendly but couldnt find nothing in my size. They had good convo that I just hopped right in on. Wish i could have gotten something for myself.
Diego knows his products. The store is a specialist in sneakers and is the type of local shop that gives this city its character and vibe.My experience was great. I got what I wanted, had great conversations, learned some stuff and will be back next time I am in the market.
Diego,Corey, and Trey are my neighbors. They understand my fashion sense. They are a great embellishment to the neighborhood.
My son and I always find something Cool and have never left without making a purchase. The staff is great and its good just to shoot the s_it with them.
Ive been shopping with leaders for over 10 years. It’s always been a great family oriented business filled with laughs and great experiences. Amazing customer service
Diego is awesome! Hes real chill and helpful. Quality gear. Definitely a nice vibe place to shop.
Great selection of clothes and great customer service
Dope! Going back asap!
Great store with the latest trends. Customer service is stellar and the prices are respectful. Continue to be the example. Thanks!
Love the place, great service . The clothing is always original and fly.... Great selection of sneakers
Great shop, the owner is awesome. They have great selection of gear with style.
What is there to say about LDRS? Great store, employees are very attentive. Their items are always fresh and suit most peoples fashion style.
I attended a release where I got shoved and sprain my ankle, they had horrible organization their security didnt do anything when I got shoved, when tagged on social media I got blocked, everyones better off going to stores where they make sure safety and communication is priority!
Amazing spot to shop!!
Shopping at a local store which they are very attentive their customers
Sosa shopped here this store was also in a p rico video gang
POOR customer service unless you are bffs with them SMH
Great customer service. Awesome local clothing store not far from downtown for an unique sorvenier gifts.
The staff was sooo nice here. Corey is the definition of customer service. After a heart felt greeting he offered to walk my dog for me while I shopped. Diego was also a pleasant suprise they have in the shop. While Corey walked the dog, Diegotaught me many ways to impress people using anchor to Chinese proverbs. As I tried on clothes I got tired so Tre offered to kneel down on hands and knees so Id have somewhere to sit all while I learned from Diego. When Corey came back with my dog he was completely obidient and even learned how to do a flip. Purely amazing. I went in for a hoodie and left with a new perspective on life.....
I walked in, started browsing the store, asked if they get new air force 1s in, the manager who was sitting on the chair started giving me some attitude. He said, Look at all the stuff we have here, you dont think we get new stuff in? At this point, I had a bad taste in my mouth, but I replied politely and I said, You dont need to give me an attitude, I was just asking if you guys would get new air force 1 s in. He said, What are you looking for? You are weird. I said, How am I weird? Do you always treat customers like that? He said, You can leave now, we dont want you. Peace out. and started receiving packages from UPS outside. I was so dumbfounded. I would not recommend.Nope. Not a competitors customer. A regular customer, a student in school. You can tell by my other ratings. I just rate how I feel.
My favorite spot on the West side.....
One of the unique streetwear brands in Chicago. If you are into sneakers, hip hop and fashion this is a must-stop while in Chicago.
Vibrant atmosphere, great people with an exceptional product.
One of the legendary shops in chicago. if youre ever in chicago stop in and get a hat.
