Sports Basement
OUTDOOR GEAR
This 80,000-sq-ft sports-and-camping-equipment emporium was once a US Army PX,
which is why you'll find hiking boots near the Fresh Produce sign. Get closeout prices on
cross-training shoes to hit Crissy Field's paths, find rental snowboards for Tahoe slopes,
and score yoga gear to strike warrior poses at free yoga classes here on Sundays.

CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES
When you're tired of seeing the same clothes in your closet and the world over, get out
there and Mingle with local designers. Cultivate a signature SF style with swingy smocked
dresses, slouchy butter-leather bags and handmade gemstone necklaces, all for less than
you'd pay for mall brands. Men emerge date-ready and dandy in dark denim and wind-tur-
bine ties.
