A family owned independent store, there are two Champs in Adelaide, one to the far north and one far south. The store in Tea Tree Plaza does a huge range of sporting shoes, along with sporting apparel and other equipment.
When I spotted the store, I was hopeful of finding some sporting wear that isn't ridiculously priced. I was disappointed. They stock a smaller range than places like Rebel, and the prices are the same. I never have and never intend to spend $70 on a pair of running shorts.
They have a different stock of brands than the large chains do, which is why I hoped they might be more reasonably priced. Apparently these obscure manufacturers want the same income as brands like Adidas and Nike.
Their shoes are marked at a standard price. The benefit of coming here is to get prompt and good service. The store doesn't get busy like Rebel, and you're more likely to get a staff member who knows their stuff, since there's only one to choose from. read more
