The best sports shops in Singapore for activewear, equipment and accessories

Erected in 1974, Queensway Shopping Centre is one of the last remaining buildings that still retains a rather shabby, old school façade, yet it still continues to thrive as a sporting goods hub for serious athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Cheaper sports supplies come to mind at this sports haven, an appeal that is attributed to two things: lower rent costs and goods on sale usually made up of the old stock brands want to clear. Discounts are also said to given out generously, provided you’re familiar with the art of haggling. With that saying, there are also fresh goodies up for grabs from the likes of Limited Edt and other namesake sports brands.

No longer do you have to go through numerous pairs of shoes before you settle on the right fit. At its Plaza Singapura outlet, Asics proves to be the pacesetter of sporting innovation with the Asics Foot ID system. This cool tech provides a comprehensive measurement of your foot for the perfect fit. But that’s not all – the system also analyses your gait, where your entire running performance is dissected in every aspect, from the cadence and stride length to the angle your shoes come in contact to the ground. After the test, an Asics footwear will be recommended according to your results – a temptation worth giving into.
