What to know about Likelihood
A shop, not a label
Likelihood is a Seattle retailer opened in 2015 by first-time shop owners Aaron DelGuzzo and Dan Carlson, stocking other brands' footwear and menswear rather than its own line.
Fashion sneakers over hype drops
The buy skews to design-led footwear instead of performance running or limited-release hype product, with most shoes falling roughly between $100 and $400.
Two Seattle stores, spare interiors
The original Capitol Hill space at 11th and Union uses stripped-back concrete and timber by Best Practice Architecture; a larger second location on Seventh Avenue followed in 2022.

Brand facts
Likelihood is a Seattle footwear boutique opened in May 2015 by first-time retailers Aaron DelGuzzo and Dan Carlson in Capitol Hill's Viva building at 11th and Union. It stocks fashion-driven sneakers and men's apparel rather than performance or hype-led athletic product, with shoes typically priced between roughly $100 and $400, inside a stripped-back concrete-and-timber interior designed by Best Practice Architecture. The shop trades under a "Make it Special" mantra and announced a second, larger Seattle location at 2201 Seventh Avenue in late 2022.
