Now you have the eye popping workout clothes (Equilibrium Activewear)  and you need the sneakers to do them justice. Or you have plain Jane clothes and want a comfortable yet fashionable statement. The best of the Miami sneaker stores for men and women? Area Code 305 Sports in downtown. It features 1200 styles. Not just workout shoes for training and running, but also casually elegant Euro-style suede Pumas, a metallic number in different colors designed for Kim Kardashian, sport shoes for soccer and tennis, and print and even a turquoise Converse model for hipsters (the Converse and long flaired skirt look).  Also find New Era sports team and Oakley caps, sport sandals and colorful flip flops, Jennsport backpacks, and athletic wear for men including Adidas for 40% off. Plus, they’re offering a reader discount.

My favorite are the workout sneakers in fluorescent colors in all matter of multi-colored prints, even one that mimics street art. No boring display shelves here. Shelves are lined with blue fluorescent lights that make the colors glow. Fifteen brands are featured ranging from Mizuno, Caterpillar, Asics, and Timberland to Helligs, Sebago and more.

The Brazilian owners set the tone – friendly and aim to please. If you see a model and they don’t have your size in stock, they’ll try to order it from the factory at no extra charge. Shoes are offered for all ages, from styles for “mini me” toddlers (sizes 2-12), children (11-3), and juniors (3 ½ to 7), to elderly in need of the extra cushioned and soft leather walking shoes by Reebok.

Prices are good, ranging from $9.99 for a last in a line in their “outlet” section, to $250 for a Lamborghini. Most hover in the range of under $100 to $160.And if you mention Miamicurated, you’ll get a 20% discount off of shoes that are not already reduced.

Area Code 305 Sports, 78 E.Flagler Street, (T.305-536-9036)

Get there on the Metromover or park in the Knight Center garage (not on Flagler, they really sock it to you in the parking garages and part of the street is under construction). Combine your trip to the store with a look at some of the new retail and dining additions downtown. Stay tuned for more on downtown next week.
