Since 1983
An inflating needle for a basketball.
That was the item that long time friends and tennis partners Mike Kennedy and Eric Martin were unable to find anywhere near their downtown Boston apartments. Realizing they
weren't alone in their failed quest for athletic gear in the city, they founded City Sports in 1983 on Massachusetts Avenue near the Fenway neighborhood. Over time, athletic adults that lived, worked or studied in the Boston area came to City Sports for their selection of premium brands and authentic niche products. And with a renowned selection of athletic footwear, apparel, and equipment droves of athletes made City Sports their home when training for their next 10K road race, triathlon and everything in between.
28 years later, City Sports has developed into an award winning specialty sports retailer with 21 metropolitan locations along the East Coast. You'll find runners, yoga enthusiasts, cyclists and more who have made City Sports their destination for training runs, expert advice from the staff and the latest gear to achieve their personal best. While times have changed, City Sports' mission remains the same: to supply the urban athlete year-round with the latest performance sporting goods, sold by the most knowledgeable staff in the city, and in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
