What is Flight Club about?
Flight Club has been the most trusted source for people looking for limited and “rare” sneakers since 2005. Today it is considered as the world´s nr 1 sneaker marketplace. They also sell clothes and other accessories.
It was founded by the entrepreneur Damany Weir.
They are not only an online store but they got “real physical” stores in both New York and Los Angeles.
How does it work?
This is in short a place where you either buy sneakers or sell sneakers.
To sell your shoes it basically works like this:
1. You bring or send your shoes to Flight Club
2. They help you determine your sale prices, this is done with reasonable market values using the experience and extensive data.
3. They sell your shoes online, and in their New York and Los Angeles stores.
4. You receive a check for 80% of the final sale price once your shoes are sold. The rest of the money goes to Flight Club.
The products
The products are many and vary of course as they are constantly buying shoes from people all over the world. You can find limited sneakers here that you would have HUGE problems finding elsewhere.
For example Yeezy Boost that has been extremely popular the last couple of years by sneaker fanatics all around the world.
Limited shoes that should have been sold out?!
The person who sent me the mail about Flight Club was concerned with the fact that they had shoes that should have been sold out a long time ago as they are extremely limited. For example the Yeezy Boost sneaker shoes.
How can Flight Club continue to have the shoes in stock, month after month when there is such a high demand for the shoes?
Do they buy them from some really savvy “copy maker” from China and then claim the shoes to be the real deal or what´s going on?
The question made me think that it might actually be the case, I mean how hard can it be to make exact copies of a shoe and claim it to be the real deal?
On the other hand, what difference does it make if the shoe both looks and feels exactly the same as one that was made in the Adidas store in the first place and not in a “secret fabric” in China?
Personally, I wouldn´t care what so ever but I promised to make my best answering the question, I took a quick look on the official website of Flight Club and I noticed pretty quickly that:
Flight Club is not only selling, but they are also BUYING shoes.
That means that they can buy shoes from people who bought the “real deal” in the first place …and then sell them to its customers.
The question that I got from my reader when I told him that made me even more confused.
How come the price on some of the REAL shoes such as the Yeezy Boost isn’t higher when people sold real ones for a much higher price on eBay a couple of years ago.
I didn´t have an answer to that but I agree that it sounded a little bit strange…
What do you think?

Is Flight Club A Scam?
So, is Flight Club a scam or not? I would say that they are not a scam, it is actually a great business idea that they have realized in the sneaker niche. How they can see whether or not a sneaker is 100% “real” or fake I have no idea about though.
Keep in mind that they do NOT offer any refund, so once you have bought a product there is no going back.
Here are the exact words of their terms and conditions page:
Since the majority of products we carry are provided on consignment from independent sellers, all sales with us are final. No refunds or exchanges will be permitted. If you are concerned about sizing for a particular style of shoe, please feel free to email us before your purchase. We will gladly provide you with the best information possible, but please note that comfort preferences vary for each person.

Why You Should (or should NOT) buy from Flight Club?
This is of course up to you, I mean if you are a fanatic you are a fanatic, right? I did a quick search on Google for some of the sneakers found on Flight Club and found both cheaper ones but also more expensive ones…
I guess a good idea (as always) is to do your research and read the reviews about the particular seller before buying anything.

Final words and Verdict
Verdict: Legit
Overall rating: (3.5 / 5)
I think it is safe to say that Flight Club is legit and that you can be at least pretty sure to get the real deal ordering from them or shopping in one of their physical stores.
I give a solid 3,5 out of 5 stars as it offers aa lotto the one person that is really into the stuff the site offers, the reason the rating isn´t higher is mostly that of the no refund policy they got.

Hi John,
Interesting article and it’s good to know about their no return policy. Are their any other locations besides NY and CA? With so many brand names to choose from which one would you recommend for plantar fasciitis? Something that would last longer than a year. I’m always on the look out for the best one, currently using Kuru. Thanks for your help, John.
Thanks, glad you found the review/post helpful.
Yeah according to their site they got physical shops in both New York and Los Angeles only at the moment. I don´t know wich one I would recommend, personally I think addidas are the most interesting brand right now, especially with their nmds 🙂
Their online stuff should be shut down. I have reported to the bBB as I see many other people have.
Hi John,
Thanks for the review on Fight Club, sounds pretty legit to me as far as the business plan goes. He is providing a marketplace for people to trade and sell and make some money in between. Nevertheless, seems like the owner is doing pretty well to be able to open physical store in both LA and New York city. He must obviously have some sort of competitive advantage over any other competitors.
Speak soon,
Merrell
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Yeah agree, absolutely a great business idea from the very start.

Unfortunately I have had a bad experience with this company. I purchased a new pair of sneakers from them and within 3 weeks my son had worn through the sole. As the labels had been removed they would not refund the purchase price. To me this means they are faulty but due to their return policy the sale of poor quality items is at the buyers risk.
I would never use this company again as it is too much risk as you are paying money without seeing the product and have no real ability to return.
Right i bought a pair of oreo 4s and when i got them i noticed that one shoe was new but some yellowing and the other one looked fake. Both of my pair of shoes didn’t even look the same im never paying form them again.
Don’t say that I just bought a pair of the Jordan 5s retro mettalic and red I spent $320 bux of my hard earned money even sacrificed a few bills in order to get them I hope they’re not in crappy condition for I will sue the crap out of flight club for I choose the new option not the used option. I’m gonna talk to my lawyer about this Johnny Cockring is gonna have a field day with flight club.there gonna be the broke club once I’m done with them. I hope they don’t force me to do that cuz my father is good friends with cockren. LoL
Did your shoes ever come in. I ordered a pair and still haven’t received for my husbands Christmas present. I’m so nervous after all these negative reviews:comments that they just took my money.
I just made a purchase on a pair of Kyrie 7’s that are kinda hard to get.
I paid over $150 USD for these shoes, expecting them to come from the US, and lo and behold when the tracking number is given to me(actually not given to me or sent by email, I had to actually go into my account and find the tracking number, which is a little bad right there)…anyways I now find out that the shoes I purchased are actually coming from HONG KONG CHINA!
Right away I knew this is a scam.
They posted the shoes to be 100% authentic Kyrie 7’s, and they are absolute frauds and scammers.
NEVER buy from this company.
I have opened a claim with them to see if my money can be refunded, but I have little hope that it will be.
We shall see.
To anyone reading this, Don’t buy any shoes from Flight Club, because the pair they send you could as well be fakes.
Thank you for your comment and for sharing your experience with them.
It will help others to think twice.
Thank you again!
