| - this is my 2nd favorite store in Charlotte. (Blacksheep gets a slight nod) But I do love this place. Clothing and sneakers are 2 things that I cannot live without, and Social Status has the best selection (in Charlotte) of the brands that I like. If you're looking for BBC, Lebron X Corks, Yeezy 2s, or the latest limited edition Nikes or Jeremy Scott x Adidas this is where you go. I wouldn't even know where to get that stuff elsewhere in CLT. House of Hoops and DTLR don't get the limited edition stuff that Social Status gets. Your next best bet is online probably.
The store's layout and vibe is pretty cool and there's a great selection of apparel, shoes and hats. It's tough to say no.
I will say that the customer service is kind of hit or miss. I've been in there on a number of occasions (one of my best friends lives down the road from there) and sometimes the staff is great and sometimes not so much. Never awful, but average at times.
And in my opinion customer service is extra important when you're one of the little guys; When you're a boutique, small business, or local shop it's crucial to be good to your customers, especially your repeat/loyal ones.
And that's why BlackSheep gets 5 stars from me and Social Status doesn't. At Blacksheep I go for the whole shopping experience: the merchandise, the atmosphere, the staff. At Social Status I go there for the merchandise alone.
