National Sports has changed a ton over the years. I still remember when it was essentially a giant open warehouse with designated spaces where you could try out your new hockey stick and cages where you could take a few swings with a new bat. It might not have these active places but they still carry a ton of athletic apparel and gear at hugely discounted rates. The store is sectioned off into two main spaces. The first part where you enter holds the checkout area and all of your sporting and outdoor needs. They have stuff for men's, women's, and junior's. The entire middle section of the store is tables and tables of shoes that are separated by size and out of the box. They have a lot of good brands like Nike, Asics, New Balance, and UnderAmour to name a few. Everything is already at a pretty good price but there is a clearance section on the left wall of the store as well. I spotted some nice pieces from The North Face but they were still a bit pricey. The other part of the store is their licensed apparel and goods section for all of the Toronto teams including the Leafs, Jays, Raptors, and TFC. Outside of the normal team wear, there were framed and signed Leafs jerseys, framed Raps home finals tickets (replica), and collectibles like tiny lego Leafs players, and team flags for hanging and cars. This area also had a special kiosk for customizable jerseys here for all of the major sports. I was surprised to see that they had some jerseys and hats for other NFL/NBA/NHL teams and some of the bigger soccer teams as well. I had come looking for some Raptors wear at a lower price. They didn't have any jerseys and some of the shirts looked a little cheaper than what you find online at the official NBA store but I managed to find a nice sweatshirt and a hat that fit my head pretty well. They were having a 20% off sale on lowest ticketed price of a lot of the licensed team merchandise when I was browsing, so I wound up getting both for $50 after tax. read more

Make space on your credit cards, you're going to need it! This store is your typical National Sports only bigger, except one fantastic feature, the Clearance Section. I'm not talking about 1 rack, I'm talking the size of the regular price side of the store. It's overwhelming. This is the place for deals on EVERYTHING. Jackets, shoes, shorts and all things sports. My man and I come here to get clothes to wear on vacation, swimsuits, shorts, tanks, etc all year round at insanely low prices. Sizes can be limited, but you WILL find something. I refuse to get a cart, because I will fill it. read more

I hate shopping for clothes. I'm a guy, what can I say. But this place is probably the only time I'll rate a store, and this one is a major find. Stick to the left side of the store for the deals (the right side is regular retail). Literally thousands upon thousands of shirts retailing for $40-60 here for $5?! Insane. I had to go back 2 days in a row it was so good. If you are traveling far to get here, make sure to hit Fat Bastard burrito while you are in the area - you will need your strength to endure hours of scouring racks of finds. I'm heading back today (3rd time this week) for shoes. read more

I love this place always has what I need at a good price. There's always sales when I go. Big place with lots of selection. Lots of good name brands. Lots of parking. read more

Once you get over the incredibly bad lighting and the overall messy appearance of this place, if you keep going to the very back and then the far left of the store, you can find some amazing steals. The clearance footwear section has a decent selection of brand name shoes for half the price of what you'd pay elsewhere. Personally, I think all cross trainers are ugly, so I really could care less if they are the latest style. Yesterday when I stopped in, I picked up a pair of New Balance cross trainers for $49. I also found a fleece lined hoodie, only $7.50! If you're in the market for sportswear I think this place is worth a visit. read more

2 visits over last 3 days. Poor service. Lots of staff stand around chatting but not helpful. Just asked one...'do you carry UV shirts?"...answer...."I don't know" ...end of..... read more

Ordered a pair of adidas track pants for my brothers birthday but when I noticed that the item haven't been shipped after 4 days so I emailed them. "The pants are not in stock and your order has been cancelled". Now I have to find a new present in a few hours. Instead of them reaching out to me and telling me I had to email them and in return they only gave me a 10% discount on the next order however I already had a 10% discount for that order that was cancelled. read more

The clearance centre is massive but largely unorganized. If you got an hour to kill, you'll find a deal. I'll be back, when I have an hour to kill. read more
