It's not fair to compare this fan shop to the sorts of places selling sports paraphernalia near the other Big 10 schools, Northwestern is much smaller. A better comparison would be with any sports fan store near Berkeley or Vanderbilt, and then one realizes how good this place is. It's very cramped inside, because they have as good a selection of Wildcats gear as you're going to find, it's actually a challenge to move around on a game day, worse in a season when the 'Cats are a serious threat to win our division.

We stopped by to look for shoes and apparel, and the selection that they had were impressive! I loved that they featured all the brands, and their shoe section was well-stocked.

One of our grand-darlings is starting off her softball career this week, and being a good GP-unit, we decided to gift her a pair of cleats to get her off to a good start.

In a few months I will be running an out of state half marathon in the Mojave desert and was asking…read moremy FB running community if they had any suggestions for running gear to prepare for the elements. I got a number of responses and a lot of them were things I didn't even think I would need but found extremely useful. I haven't done a half marathon in almost 10 years and I forgot how important it was to properly fuel myself for endurance runs. These days nutrition and electrolyte tabs aren't cutting it for me anymore. I don't want to hit a wall once I start hitting the 8-10 mile marker so energy gels have been helping me push through with ease and REI has plenty of them. They mostly carry the GU brand and HoneyStinger. I've been trying out flavors and found a couple that I like. REI despite their items being on the pricier side have great selection and quality gear. I was able to get everything I needed in prep for race day. I didn't encounter any issues with staff. It felt more like, "We'll leave you alone unless you need something." I'm totally fine with that. It's an upscale comprehensive sporting goods store with a good amount of items in stock. I was actually impressed with the women's shoe selection. They had more HOKAs in stock compared to Road Runner Sports in Wilmette. I know I could've easily gotten HOKAs online but I'm the type (especially when it comes to apparel and shoes) to want to test items out in person for fit. Had I known they had better availability with more colors in stock, I would've bought my shoes here. REI is granola and you'll need to bring your own bag to shop. They are officially bagless and no longer provide single-use shopping bags at checkout. Parking is easy since it's nestled within a strip mall. I was able to get a spot in front with no issues.

While we were checking out one of the products, there was no "sit on display" sign, but an employee sarcastically and rudely told us to get off.
