Red Nike sneakers, size 9, lost near Kalamazoo Mall
Description
I’m hoping someone picked up my red Nike Air Max sneakers after I ran a quick errand yesterday around 4:15 pm. They’re size 9, with a red mesh upper, white soles, and a small scuff on the left toe. I was near the Kalamazoo Mall, by the bus stop outside Buffalo Wild Wings on West Michigan Avenue when I dropped them after a jog. They’re sentimental to me and I really need them back for daily runs; the fit helps with rehab and they were a gift from my sister. If found, reach me through the site and I’ll pick them up ASAP. A tiny blue fabric patch on the inside tongue is a unique identifying feature.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
