the other day, my bf told me about this chain of stores called “london sports” and said they sell discount (but new) athletic wear. i was skeptical about it, thinking it was going to be like 10% off original price or something but GUYS. with all the discounts they offered, we got all of our stuff at minimum half price (some were 80% off). they had EVERYTHING, all the usual brands (nike, adidas, new balance, champion, etc.) and sweatshirts, windbreakers, shoes, socks, leggings, sports bras, etc. they have huge piles and rows of stuff so it was a bit intimidating, but if you take the time to look through the stuff, you will actually find great items.
sorry if this is an already well-known chain; i’ve been living in japan for almost a decade and just found out about it lol.
EDIT: it might only be in tokyo…
EDIT 2: the kids selection was also great so if you have growing children!! check it out!!

Does the shop offer global sizing or mainly JPY sizes?
This is great info! Did it say when the store is closing?
Also is there snowboard gear by chance?
Thanks for reminding me about this place!! I have been living in Tokyo for 10 years, but I only started running/going to the gym about 8 months ago. I’m going to need cold weather gear soon, so I’ll go check it out!
