Champs Sports at Empire Mall is where the algorithm fails you and the wall of shoes actually delivers. If you've been doom-scrolling through out-of-stock Jordans online, this is the room where they exist in your size.
Champs carries athletic shoes, running shoes, basketball shoes, and sneakers across the major labels — Nike, Adidas, Jordan Brand, and more — alongside sports apparel and performance gear built for people who use it. They outfit serious runners, gym regulars, pickup ballers, and the kind of person who treats sneaker shopping as a legitimate hobby. West Side Sioux Falls has the location; Champs has the inventory depth to back it up.
Locals pick this one because the selection skews toward performance and style without forcing you to choose. You can lace up a running shoe for actual mileage or walk out with something you'd wear to a game. That combination — breadth of brand, physical access to product, staff who know the difference between a trainer and a racer — is harder to find than it sounds.
