Escapade Sports

I was looking for headlamps for night hiking.
They only stock up on the «Black Diamond» brand. The guy at the register said that it’s usually used for biking and only good for seeing whats directly in front of you. So, that’s not what I was looking for. They are about $ 400HKD. I didn’t really look around so I can’t tell you anything else specific. If you are looking for sporting apparel, they do have lots of that here.
The store is located probably 100 meters to the left of the Pizza shop.

Rugby players and those other athletes of obscure sports like… trail running or netball unite! For a long time Hong Kong did not have a specialized sports shop. Giga Sports, Marathon Sports, or Mong Kok were the main places to buy a pair of trainers or sporting gear. But where could I go to get a mouth guard, or a kicking tee, or some Skins? Escapade, that’s where.
I first heard about the place a couple years ago after a sport match in Causeway Bay. It was (and still is) near the HKFC and I am not surprised that it flourished together with HK’s sporting community to the extent another shop was opened in Central. Basically, it’s gotsta goods! Since my first visit I don’t recall ever stepping in to a Marathon Sports, but that could be as much a sign of old age as Escapade’s products.
The shop as a huge range of the top brands for each sport meaning a variety in any given product. For example there’s more than just one Canterbury pair of boots, and they come in a size bigger than 11 US, a relief to many people out there!
If at first you cannot find sports gear in your local, chain store, then before you order it online be sure to check out Escape’s website. The chances are they’ll have it, maybe for a slightly higher cost but you won’t have to wait two weeks for it to arrive.

This is my «go to» store for sporting goods! They have assorted gear and equipment. The stock isn’t immense but you’re able to get multiple items if you looking for them. There is a massive supply of running gear and they have a pretty wide selection of running shoes which are mainly Brooks and Cascades. If your prefer footwear that is au-​natural, there is an interesting display of Vibram barefoot shoes.
This store is sufficient for a hard-​core athlete or someone who is only moderately active. They also carry everything you need to protect yourself from the sun, and stay hydrated. There are swimsuits, hats and visors, fitness watches, and sunglasses at reasonable prices. The list goes on and on. If you’re looking for something sporty, come in and check it out.
Escapade is an easy location that you can see from the mid-​levels escalators. Going into this shops makes me want to try out other sports like biking, and boxing. If you’re like me and can spend all day in this shop, don’t worry, there’s a small bathroom in back.
