Meet @nikys_sports, an all-purpose sporting goods store that opened in 1986 that catered to foreign-born and immigrant soccer players in LA. The story starts with Nicholas Orellana, the patriarch of the business and the original "Niki.” His son Luis now runs the operation and has since turned the store into a social barber shop for the city. When Luis was a teenager, he and his father once were asked to supply soccer cleats to the entire Colombian national team after the team's shoes were confiscated by the DEA. 🔗 Check out the link in bio for the full story about soccer in LA seen from the perspective of the biggest family-run chain of soccer stores in the city.
