The online sports store where performance meets style

New sports gear hits the shelves seemingly every day – keeping abreast is an exercise in itself. There was a time, not all that long ago, when going on a run or cycle was a separate entity to fashion. But times have changed – sports and style now go hand-in-hand. And not only has sports clothing become so flagrantly trendy, but technological advances have been made to optimise performance. Finding the gear to tick all the right boxes can be both time consuming and exhausting – where to go to buy what, for which part of the body, for what time of year…

Cue Mr Porter, who has recently introduced 9 new sports categories featuring the world’s best brands, bringing together the ultimate in performance and style.

Categories include tennis, golf, training, running, outdoors, swimming, sailing, cycling and accessories, covering all basics for gentlemen with a penchant for exercise and adventure.
