New Spring Apparel and Footwear: New Running Shoes and New Running Apparel

We have plenty of brand New Spring Apparel and Footwear that has just come in!  From brands including The North Face, Under Armour, Nike, STX, and Burton, we have all the fresh gear you want for the season ahead.  We’ve got especially good news for the runners out there: There’s a whole lot of new running gear for you to stock up on this Spring.  Some highlights include:

Nike Zoom Structure Triax+14 Mens Running Shoes

Selected as an Editor’s Choice from Runner’s World, the innovative Nike Zoom Structure Triax=14 Mens Running Shoes offer advanced technology in the running shoe world.  Advanced features include Nike Zoom Construction, which provides ideal feel and aggressive maneuverability by bringing the foot closer to the ground with lightweight, thin, super-responsive cushioning.  Nike Flywire Technology helps provide ultra-lightweight support and comfort for your foot.  Strategically placed thin Nylon fibers placed on the upper of the shoe hold the foot in place, helping reduce slippage during your run.  Because material is used only where it’s needed for proper structure, less material is used, resulting in less weight and a lighter feel.  On top of all of that, these running shoes feature Nike+ Ready technology so you can measure and monitor your workouts.

The North Face Better Than Naked Womens Crew Shirt

Pop Quiz:  Are you female?  Do you run?  If you answered yes to both of these questions, congratulations; you passed.  The North Face, known for their outdoor superiority, has done it again with The North Face Better than Naked Womens Crew Shirt.  This female running shirt is designed for running, even in slightly lousy weather.  Along with being extremely lightweight, the Better Than Naked Shirt has a streamlined design with flatlocked seams which prevent abrasion and chaffing while running.  Super comfortable, water resistant, and breathable thanks to a strategically bonded ventilation system, it will instantly become your favorite running shirt!

Little League Approved Baseball Bats

Before you buy a new bat for the upcoming Little League Baseball season, make sure to review the list of Little League Approved Baseball Bats.  New enforced rules disallow the use of composite baseball bats that exceed the standards printed on the bat after the bat is broken in.  In other words, the illegal bats would get better over time and use, becoming more dangerous for play.  Presently, for composite bats to be approved for Little League Baseball use, they must clearly demonstrate, through rigorous testing, that they will not exceed the standards printed on the bat over time through break-in.

Don’t make the mistake of being penalized for using an illegal bat by checking out our Little League Approved Baseball Bats page, where you can also find an approved bat for your level of Little League.

New for 2011: Mizuno Baseball

Spring Training has begun, meaning the baseball season is almost here.  This year, we have added another behemoth of a brand to our baseball lineup: Mizuno.

New for Spring 2011 – The North Face Amp Hybrid Jackets

Spring time is near.  Though it’s still mid-February, the Winter season is approaching its end.  Throughout much of the United States, for instance, today’s weather is a preview of glorious days ahead, as many regions are experiencing spring-like weather upwards of 50-plus degrees.  The cold and dark winter is quickly becoming a memory (fingers crossed, at least), so it’s time to trade in those heavy winter jackets for lighter spring windbreakers.

The North Face has just what you need this spring with its newly designed Amp Hybrid Jackets.  These technical jackets are part windproof and part stretch-fit construction, hence the “Hybrid” in the name.  Ideal for aerobic use such as running, biking, and climbing in cooler temperatures, The North Face Amp Hybrid Jacket is mostly covered in a windproof shell, protecting you from the cutting wind, while the rest of the jacket is made of four-way stretch TNF Apex Aerobic materials, offering more mobility in places you need it, such as under the arms and the sides, for unrestricted movement.

These jackets also feature a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and have a performance fit, perfect for your exercising needs.

Ski Gear and Snowboard Gear

Winterize thyself

Depending on where you live, you may have felt the effects of this year’s winter.  Here in the Greater Philadelphia area…we have.  But there’s no reason to have the winter blues.  Instead, be a half-glass-full kind of person and embrace this winter gold.  Go skiing or snowboarding.  Try snowshoeing.  Me, personally?  I’m going skiing tomorrow at Jack Frost in Pennsylvania.  It’s much more fun playing in the snow than it is sitting inside miserably.

So if you’re near the mountains and are planning a ski trip, make sure to get geared up, because there is nothing worse than being unprepared for the snow.

Ski and Snowboard gear can be confusing, but that’s why we’re here.  That means layer up with thermals and baselayers, such as the popular Under Armour ColdGear Action Leggings. Wear a fleece jacket for warmth, such as The North Face El Cap Trek 1/4 Zip.  Then top it off with a waterproof ski jacket.

Equipment wise, winter gloves are essential (See: Harry, Dumb and Dumber).  And make sure to have waterproof gloves, because the only thing worse than being unprepared is cold, wet fingers while skiing or snowboarding.  Gerbing’s Men’s S-2 Heated Gloves, (yes, heated gloves) are a gift to mankind, as they can heat up to 135 degrees Fahrenheit!  A more economically wise choice would be the Gordini Men’s Gore-Tex Challenge XII Gloves which offer plenty of high quality Gore-Tex warmth and dry protection to fulfill your needs.

Neck warmers are a very underrated but important piece to the snow sport ensemble.  They provide warmth at a critical area of the body, the neck and mouth.

Lastly, a ski helmet and ski goggles are imperative to anyone who thinks their brain is a somewhat important bodily organ.  Back in the day, wearing a helmet while skiing or snowboarding might have been a big fashion no-no, but nowadays, its commonplace.  The negative stigma of wearing a helmet is gone; people have finally wised up.  Buying a helmet seems like a small price to pay to protect your BRAIN.

Ski goggles not only enhance your vision and protect your eyes from the wind, but they also look pretty sweet. 

Take a look at the Oakley Splice Ski Goggles – Black Grey Shattered / Black Iridium, and just tell me those don’t look B.A.

So get out of the house, gear up, and embrace the winter wonderland that mother nature has offered us.  And when you do go skiing or snowboarding, don’t try and act all macho by not getting the proper equipment to battle the elements.  Prepare yourself and get all the necessary equipment.

Or, you could just wing it, and end up like this guy:

Fail.

New for 2011: Maverik Lacrosse

This year, we will be welcoming plenty of new brands, ranging from Baseball to Tailgating Games, to the Sports Unlimited line.  First up for 2011: Maverik Lacrosse

Get a sense of what Maverik is all about by watching the following video, featuring lacrosse superstar Paul Rabil:

Maverik operates by the saying, “For the Players, by the Players,” as it was founded and continues to this day to be run by world-class lacrosse players.  Dissatisfied with the quality and performance aspects of existing lacrosse equipment, they began designing it themselves, with the mindset that he best players never settle for anything but the best equipment.  They make it, test it, use it in practice and games, and they even are the ones that box it up and ship it to you.  It’s that commitment that pushes Maverik to deliver the highest quality lacrosse equipment onto the market.

Maverik uses a performance level indicator for each of its products, as each product is labeled using this four-tiered system: Expert level; Advanced level; Intermediate Level; Beginner Level.  This allows you to choose the appropriate equipment that suits your level of play.

One of Maverik’s many highlights is the Maybach Lacrosse Gloves.  The Maybach Gloves are superior-quality, top-of-the-line men’s lacrosse gloves that feature seamless palms, sharkskin, and shark gel for elite performance, feel, and protection.  These incredibly comfortable gloves are both compact and lightweight, giving the ultimate combination of both protection and comfort.

The Maybach Gloves are just one aspect of Maverik’s impressive set of lacrosse gear.  From gloves to shafts to apparel, Maverik has what it takes to be an elite player on lacrosse fields everywhere.
