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. read more
