Sports Basement

Our pop-up adventure on Market Street has packed up and popped down.

We hope you had as much fun Basement-ing downtown as we had working, running, yoga-ing and playing there!

Need to make a return or exchange? We’ll be happy to help you at any one of our other stores.

The Amgen Tour of California is headed to the Bay!

by Jessica Blomstrom, web editor 5/14/2013

America’s biggest race kicked off to a stellar start on May 12th down in the sweltering heat of Escondido, but the world’s top cyclists are making their way north to our more temperate climes this week! By Friday, May 17 the peloton will have hit San Jose, and the fun will truly begin (for us, at least). Yeah, we Basementeers are not ashamed to admit that we are the hugest cycling nerds in the universe, and neither wind nor rain nor broken chains will keep us from cheering on our favorite teams! We’ll be donning our favorite jerseys and polishing our lucky cowbells to a mirror finish all week, and we want you out there with us! Here’s our schedule of events:

Sports Basement wants to support your school!

by Jessica Blomstrom, web editor 4/29/2013

It goes without saying that kids are awesome. They know all the best jump roping songs, and they can do that weird trick with their elbows that we forgot how to do. They’re really, really cool, and we want to be just like them.

That’s why we’ve set up our revenue-sharing partnership with schools all over the Bay Area. In 2012 alone this program raised over $133,000 for schools! We want to go bigger and better than ever for 2013, and that means partnering with every school we can. Read the rest of this entry »
