If this Sports Direct were not (literally) exactly on my way from the office to the underground station, I'd never return.
It's not that exciting. It's cluttered mostly with low-end brands of sportswear that I am not interested in and that fall apart after a few washes.
But there are a few diamonds in the rough. A few items of Nike and Adidas to see me through and refresh my sportswear fashion enough to prompt me to the gym a few more times. Usually just tees and perhaps the odd running trousers, but beyond that...meh. To be fair, the men's selection looks MUCH better.
The staff is begrudgingly there, it appears against their will. I cannot be certain.
They often have good deals on sports kit - balls, socks, etc. I was tempted to pick up 2 adidas footballs for £20 for my little kicker at home, but didn't want to heft them home on the tube. Good deal though!
It'll do in a pinch but I wouldn't call it pleasant or enjoyable, honestly. read more
