BTNC

The hip hop was noticeable upon entry. Like classic man crossed w hood culture. Stylish Nike’s w modern design. Sneakers, hoodies, joggers, tshirts, vans, addidas, skate boards, back packs, sandles, and throw backs. Modern city livin with a classic twist.
Down point; only for men. Kinda pricey.

I’ve been going to this shop for close to 5 years and I’ve seen several employees here come and go. Considering that many Unilocalers represent the general public who resort to mall shops for their clothes, this review is catered to that specific demographic.
For the average consumer, BTNC does have a limited selection at times. With that being said, many of the shoes you find at BTNC can be found at it’s sister stores: Blends SA, Blends CM, and Blends LA. If they don’t carry your size, they will redirect you to the closest store that carry’s your size. Also note that the store usually doesn’t carry any size larger than a 13 for shoes and a XL for clothes.
One of the best times to visit the shop is without a doubt during their seasonal sales. Practically everything goes on discount in the store, and Vans get discounted HEAVILY. They also bring out stock from the backroom in boxes marked with sizes straight warehouse style. The sales occur on Black Friday, back-​to-​school season, and various national holidays such as Memorial/Veteran’s day. The best way to stay updated on these sales is to follow their Instagram.
BTNC is a very simple store. The people who run the ship here are well aware of it’s customer base and know exactly what they want out of it. With that being said, if you have something to complain about, you can go back to shopping at Pacsun.

All I have to say is NEVER do business with this company. They are a bunch of scam artist. They’ll say they shipped your items but then you’ll never receive it. HORRIBLE SERVICE! Hope this company goes out of business.
They never answer your call either. Not the best business out there, but what can you say when it’s ran by a bunch of high schoolers.

Called and had a pair of SB’s on hold so I can pick them on my lunch. Told the guy I’d be there by 2:30 latest (time sensitive) drove like a bad outta hell, got there and there’s a «out to lunch» sign and it’s unclear what time they’ll be back. I made the trip out from the Angel’s Stadium to here on a lunch break. I stressed where I was coming from and the fact that I needed them ASAP. After being referred here from Core in Torrance and Orange Active, I expected at least a common courtesy of waiting the 15min until I got there! I got there at 2:18pm, waited another HOUR and 15 minutes, then TWO people came back. When I explained the situation, the «ABE» (name on receipt) blamed it on «Jordan» and the female associate went to sit down. So now you’re telling me there were 3 people working and no one could have waited the whole whopping 15 minutes until I got there? Your associates weren’t even remorseful! I was angry, but I didn’t yell (despite being docked an extra hour for lunch) as I was explaining, they looked at me like I was crazy. I’m just a customer who was told someone would at least be there when I went to pick up the shoes. Not only was I excited to find a shoe spot that looked cool & was close to work/​home, but now I know I’ll never drop another dime here. If I didn’t need these desperately for a present, I would have definitely went elsewhere. I tried to contact anyone via Unilocal,Instagram and Facebook. I even left my cell phone number on a 15 minute old Instagram post to prove I was really serious about being there. Not cool beatnic.

Cool shop! It’s a combination of blends and attic. Like the layout. Just wish had more pants and accessories. But it’s all good anyway with kicks. Will come back again for sure!

BTNC is a very cool local shop. Always friendly staff and a clean organized store. Always great stuff located in the heart of DTF it dont get much better!

Cool shop with great selection on kicks! Its like Blends but smaller. Also good various streetwear tees. Also nice and clean.

Went there today looking for something to wear that would fit like the nike tech fleece do. Guys there are super helpful. Prices are great as well. Its a must stop to shop in store.

One of the better shops in Fullerton for street wear and sneakers. The buyer for this store has great taste and stays on top for each collection within season. You can tell each piece was selectively chosen. I’m down with it. If sneakers were sold here in my size I’d be in heaven.
Super cool spot in dtf, staff is friendly and go out of there way to help you get the item you want.
Bonus star for always playing good music!

My BF is a very proud shoe-​head (SBs mostly). So whenever the BF & I are in the area we ALWAYS have to stop by BTNC (or BEATNIC). That being said, I’ve been to BTNC about 3 maybe even 4 times. Each time is different.
I don’t think the store is small, I do think it’s big enough to display & sell what they need to. The whole setup & display of the store is probably my favorite part about it. I love how the shoes are hanging on the wall by a magnet. (Except when I take a shoe down, the magnet falls and it makes a loud noise, or when the magnet falls deeper into the shoe & I can’t the damn thing back on the wall.) They are at a great location in DT Fullerton too! Right on the corner!
Ok, so the one thing that I don’t like. I think everytime we’ve gone into the store, the BF has bought something. At least 1 pair of shoes. But like I said above, each time is different. The first time and one other time we came in the guy working (different ones) was SUPER nice. He said hi & he asked my boyfriend if he needed any help and was really cool with getting us sizes. The other 2 times (& the last time we were there, which was last month) the guys working (different ones as well) was probably the complete opposite. Neither of them said hi and one of them never said anything, when I really think about it! The last time we were there the guy didn’t say anything when we walked in and the whole time we were in there asking for sizes, he just didn’t seem very pleasant. Another guy came out the back & he was A LOT more easier to talk to. I’m not sure if he was the manager or what, but he asked if we needed help, kinda made some conversation with us & was just wayyy nicer and pleasant.

Literally the WORST customer service ever! So, my friends and I (all sneakerheads) came in this Saturday and had the rudest «service» experience. First of all, their shoe selection is super limited — not EXCLUSIVE — limited! Second, there were about 6 people standing behind the counter and not one greeted us. We had to ask 4 times for help before anyone came up to us (mind you there was only one other customer in there). The first 3 times the cool guys behind the counter just stared at us. Thirdly, the employee didn’t even know the pricing — we got like 3 different prices on one shoe. My friend wanted some blue suede AF1’s (he had all the J’s and Dunks they had there) but refused to give this place his money. Lastly — there’s really no lastly save your money and time and go to Footage in Brea. Bigger selection and excellent customer service! They clearly don’t need the money (what with their awful service) so I’m telling everyone I know not to give it to them. Here’s your heads-​up!

It’s a nice skate/​streetwear-​oriented shop. It’s cozy and well lit unlike some other sneaker shops. I came in here recently to look for some kicks but they weren’t there. But the dude working was mad cool and even called Blends to ask if they had any there for me and empathized with my sneaker search. Great customer service!

Nice collection of kicks and dope store.
Most important bit of info for you?
‘Returns are for exchange or store credit within 7 days of original purchase date’
Shop wisely.

As good as it gets. You want to know how a small business can compete with the internet and big box marts? Visit BTNC!
Great staff, amazing product line up, and very reasonable prices. Doesn’t get much better.
Will definitely be visiting again soon.

BTNC is the local shoe spot and the go to place for anytime I need a new release. Prices aren’t marked up like other shops and they get almost every release imaginable. The fellas that work there are beyond cool and always willing to help out and answer any questions.
The layout of the store itself is one of the most unique and stylish locations. The wood décor from the floor to the walls and benches just give it that ‘cool’ vibe. Then with how the shoes hang on the wall by magnets give it that extra touch making them stand out from the crowd.

SKATE BOARDS and SKATE GEAR and SKATE FAShion
Nice people.
that’s about it. I’m not a skater, just walked in during Art Walk. From waht I saw, they have skater gear.
that’s it.

Good selection of sneakers. Good for hype beasts.

great store with a great selection for the «urban» lifestyle. and everything is at the price you would think it would be. (which is pricey)

BTNC has some siick ass gear. I was looking for Bloodbath stuff and ended up checking out a pair blue Air Max 90s, when I asked for a 10.5 the dude working didn’t seem to care about my needs. I didn’t ask for much but come on, just wanted to see the 90s in my size. Attempting to try to break the ice, tried striking up a conversation, it was a no go. The guy was emotionless, careless, and god damn boring as shit. BTNC=badass gear=whack customer service

When it comes to sneakers, my mister has educated me with everything I need to know. I even own a few pairs of cool kicks like Air Jordans, but I don’t really rock them much because I would mess them up pretty quickly.
So, when I drove by BTNC (Beatnic), I was pretty stoked to see what fly shoes they had. We walked in and the store is clean, but small and their shoe selection was limited They also sell urban t-​shirts, but again, the selection was pretty sparse. I give them an A for effort for opening in DTF, but I give them only 2 stars because when I my mister called them inquiring about a shoe, the person on the other end was kinda rude. Not cool. There are better places to get the urban wear, like the Attic in Buena Park or just go straight to the boutique stores in LA near Melrose like Crooks and Castles, the Hundreds, Johnny Cupcakes, etc for tees and to Flight Club or Sportie LA for shoes.
