I thought I'd throw in an English speaking review for these guys. They are by far THE store to get…read moreyour ice hockey gear and inline skate rental for Friday Night Skate (YES you totally should do this at one point if you're a resident or visitor of Amsterdam!). Location is pretty central in the city on Ceintuurbaan. They carry most major brands of rollerblades, ice skates, and hockey gear (skates, sticks, protective gear). You could probably get full gear top to bottom from this store alone. The prices are slightly higher than what you would find in North America, but when pickings are slim, you can't really complain. Skate rentals are actually pretty decently priced, especially if you're going to do FNS. I think it works out to about 10-12 euro. HOWEVER, when you are renting, they require a CASH deposit (I forget whether its 50 or 100 euro) which is promptly returned to you upon return of the skates. I didn't know this and had to run out to the ATM down the street to get cash. The rentals even come in a nice carry bag that you can wear as a backpack -- totally convenient for your bike ride home :) I believe you can also get speed skates (wheeled and ice) here as well.

This appears to be a standard corporate type of sporting goods store. There are several walls of…read moreshoes, tons of clothes, specific sport oriented gear and all the accessories required. There always seem to be a lot of shoppers so it's a busy environment probably owing to the fact it's located on Kalverstraat, a main shopping street. This type of store always has some kind of sale going on to pull more people in to turn their merchandise seeing as we're switching from winter to summer. If you're looking for hiking boots, tennis shoes, running shoes, ski boots and all the clothes that go along with these sports you'll find them here.

I love this place!…read more It's a huge sporting goods store and they have a bit of everything including but not limited to goods for: - Volleyball - Basketball - Baseball (not much) - Soccer - Rugby/Football - Trekking and hiking - Surfing - Diving - Swimming - Archery - Riding (horseback) - Camping - Skiing - Snowboarding - Racquetball/Squash - Tennis - Fitness - Cycling - Skating (inline/board/roller) - Ice skating And probably more! They have stuff to suit any budget, including the very low ones, while maintaining the quality of the goods! The prices are very decent if not cheap for their so called "Blauw Product" labelled stuff, which essentially means that it's super cheap, and they have a wide array of products. For example, I bought a super thin fleece long sleeve for but €7.45! The stitching is of great quality and it doesn't fit baggy like a mass produced one-size-fits-all piece of clothing. It's formfitting but not tight, at all. I implore you check this place out. You might see things that you need without the prior knowledge of your need for them! Check out the pics to get an idea. Beware if you're going by car as it's right next to the Amsterdam Arena so you'll have to pay for parking.
