| - Summary: Lots of stores which are all huge, the smallest of which is still a very big store in a downtown mall, the layout actually makes a fair amount of sense, and there's tons of stuff. Those are the pros.
The cons are things I think probably won't change and they can't do much about or are not easy changes, but they take away from the experience of the mall. First, the prices and selection on a lot of the things was sub par at best. I have found better prices on a number of items in stores that are not classified as outlets, downtown. Some of the shoes they had at ASICS I have seen at SVP for $30 less. The Champs store had a very good selection of Jordan t-shirts but at a ridiculous $42 each. I know it's Jordan brand, but this is an outlet mall, not Yorkville. Give me a break.
I got a couple pairs of shoes at the Nike store, but the prices were on average just marginally less expensive than retail and in some cases not even. The overall selection was so-so, nothing special.
Kudos does go out to the Vans store who had t-shirts at a very reasonable 2 for $30 for the logo face, a huge selection of clothing and shoes and friendly staff. I could only get so much due to setting a limit for myself, otherwise would have definitely gotten some stuff here.
Worth the trip still, even taking about 1.5 hours from downtown. Some pretty sweet kicks were acquired, so it's all good
