Best Shoes in Kelowna for 2026 — Sneakers, Boots, Slides, and More at Gallery Streetwear
There are a lot of places to buy shoes in Kelowna. There's one place to buy the right shoes. Gallery Streetwear has been building one of the most carefully considered footwear floors in the Okanagan — not chasing every trend, but stocking the brands that actually hold up, look clean, and mean something to the people who wear them.
We're the only Tier 1 New Balance retailer in the Okanagan. That's a designation granted by New Balance directly, based on product presentation, staff knowledge, and overall retail experience. In practical terms, it means access to product that most stores simply don't carry. More on that below.

New Balance — The Cornerstone
New Balance is the first name in the conversation. As a Tier 1 retailer, Gallery gets access to the full spectrum — the 990v6, the 9060, the 1906R, the 550, the 574. Colourways and limited runs that regional sporting goods chains don't see. If you've been hunting a specific NB colourway in the Okanagan, this is where to start.
On Running — Performance That Looks Good
On Running has become one of the most interesting shoe brands to carry. The Swiss CloudTec sole makes them genuinely functional for running, but the Cloudmonster, Cloud 5, and Cloudtilt have crossed into everyday territory in a real way. Clean silhouettes, modern colourways, build quality that justifies the price.
Saucony — The Quiet Favourite
Saucony doesn't get the loudest coverage, but among sneaker people it's well respected. The Jazz, the Shadow, the Grid Azura — real running heritage that works perfectly as lifestyle footwear. Saucony is the brand you discover and then wonder why you weren't wearing sooner.
Adidas — Classic Silhouettes Done Right
Gallery carries Adidas with a specific focus — the Originals line. Samba, Spezial, Superstar, Gazelle. These are silhouettes with actual design history behind them. The Samba in particular has had one of the more remarkable cultural moments of recent years. We stock a rotating selection of colourways with an eye on what's worth wearing, not just what's trending.
Clarks Originals — Wallabee and Desert Boot
Clarks has been making the Wallabee and Desert Boot since the 1960s — adopted by Jamaican rude boys, New York hip-hop, and British mod culture alike. The silhouettes never really left. We carry Clarks Originals specifically: crepe sole, natural materials, classic colourways. A good Wallabee pairs with almost anything in a streetwear wardrobe.
Reebok — Club C and Beyond
The Club C is Reebok's obvious reference point — clean, white, versatile, endlessly wearable. The Freestyle and the BB4000 round out a lineup with more range than the brand usually gets credit for. We carry the pieces worth carrying.
Last Resort AB — For the Skate-Minded
Last Resort AB is a Swedish skate shoe brand that prioritises function without sacrificing look. The VM001 and VM003 are two of the cleaner skate silhouettes available — suede and canvas builds with proper board feel, but proportions that work off the board too. If you skate, or you want a shoe that reads skate culture without screaming it, Last Resort AB is the pick.
