Sportswear store in Auckland

“I just had the most positive experience with staff. They were very knowledgeable, kind and patient while we were trying to find the best fit shoe for me. Gait analysis + multiple treadmill jogs in various style shoes. As a distance runner it was extremely appreciated!! Everyone I talked to knew a lot about their brand and the benefits of different shoes for different types of running and gaits.”

“Bought racquet recently, competitive pricing, and was impressed by the packaging and speed of delivery to Chch. The Yonex decal on with the stringing is an awesome detail - thanks for going above and beyond”

“Mike and team are fantastic. Personable, interested, great advice and great gear. I salivate every time i check in as they have everything and more. Stuff I need and then stuff I want (there is a difference!). This is definitely not like a so called "surf" shop in a mall selling surf brand fashion clothing to teenagers, this is a specialised surf, foil, sail, SUP retailer. Highly recommended.”

“These guys are amazing, they take the time to work out what's best for you. When the first pair I got over corrected my running, I went back and they immediately suggested another shoe and replaced them. Love the new shoes. Just so helpful and nice, won't buy running shoes from anywhere else.”

“Had a great experience buying running shoes for my son. Served by Portia who was very knowledgeable on advising the right shoe specifications for his videoed running style. She was very engaging and helpful.”

“Thank you for all your time and knowledge. Felt very welcomed, listen to what I was after & able to match that with various options. Explaining the pros and cons. Very happy with my new jacket. Will be back!”

“Great service and helpful staff. Bought a new skateboard for.my son, don't know anything about them. Staff put on the grip tape for me (Excellent Job). Got the tools and the right stuff needed for wheels.”

“I've always had great service from team Rhapsody my order only took one day to arrive at my address awesome service Lauren Thanks”

“Terrific customer service. I was the first shopper of the day and although they didn’t have the product in stock, they were both so helpful to assist me to find if it was in stock online. Really pleasant and friendly team.”

“These people are great to deal with and exactly what I like about a New Zealand small business, easy to talk to on the phone, they know their products well, patient and efficient. Not to mention the best deals you can find for Ridgeline products. Highly recommended !!”

“Super quick delivery and the SISU 3D did not disappoint! Very easy for my Mr 12 to watch the videos and then form his mouthguard. Definitely recommend and will be getting more as a back-up. Thanks for an awesome first experience!”

“Had an amazing experience at Nike Queen Street! Elia went above and beyond to help me out — from finding the right size in the Air Jordan 01s to showing me how to style and lace them properly. I was nervous about the suede front getting dirty, and he even took the time to spray them with a rain protector for me. Super knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Truly the best service I’ve had in a store — thank you Elia :)”

“Bought an O'Neill wetsuit from the store, the guys there were very friendly and really easy to buy from. Never been to the store before, it has a huge amount of choice of clothes for surf and land and has kids wetsuits - great shop!! Thanks guys! :)”

“Purchased a Steeden “State of Origin” replica ball from Player sports. I was super happy with my first purchase from this store for a number of reasons. Firstly, the price was $10 cheaper than anywhere else in New Zealand that I could find it online. Secondly, by my own mistake, I originally went in store to Greenlane where it was available for “Pickup”, but was not actually “in stock”, as it would have been sent there from Onehunga if I’d have gone with that option. However, the staff were really friendly, informative and polite, explaining the process clearly so that I could make the online purchase with confidence. The store was very tidy and had a great vibe, along with a wide selection of products to purchase. I didn’t have time to go to Onehunga that day but made the purchase online for home delivery, and it arrived 3business from the time of purchase. The product itself is good quality and arrived well packaged and in the expected condition. Will definitely purchase from Player Sports again.”

“Quick and easy stop to grab a last minute birthday gift! Sefa knew the brand that I wanted and quickly grabbed a few cool pieces for me to choose from. Hubby loved them! Thanks a bunch!”

“Last week I was very impressed with the service at Northbeach Sylvia Park. I had the privilege of being served by Emily, she was enthusiastic, helpful and simply a delight. Keep up the amazing work!”

“Friendly customer service. Helpful staff always there if you need assistance.”

“Wide variety of high quality outdoor equipment. While I did not find what I was lookibg for (the product is long discontinued) the staff was very helpfull in going through the products in an attempt to find a suitable alternative. Indeed this chain seems to have tue widest variety of outdoor equipment, from what I've seen so far in Auckland.”

“This is the best store if you want knowledgeable advice and great customer service. I first came here about 8 months ago and I was lucky to meet Marco there who spent a considerable amount of time with me, listening and giving me advice. The shoes I bought there are still my favourite and I keep coming back here for more. I honestly think that the experience helped me to become a successful runner. The store can get busy but it is because they truly care about the customers and won't try to rush you or be pushy. Athlete's Foot has the best sales among all the sports shoe stores, which is important for me because shoes can get really expensive. If you are a Parkrunner, you get extra discount too. Whenever I come here, I feel that the store's goal is not to sell me something expensive and see me out, but to keep me coming back. Great job!”

“I'm new to softball and these guys hooked me up with my first glove at a good price. The shop is amazing, the first place that actually stock gloves for Left Hand Throwers I could find. Aaron talked me through all my options and gave great advice. I would recommend going into the store if you are new to the sport as the customer service and help was really appreciated.”

“Very happy with our zodiac 3.8 retube , team were great to deal with and the result is better than new”

“Great service and bat sizing, have played cricket for years and get all my stuff here.”

“These are definitely the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. As a golf coach I am on my feet all day, and these shoes really have saved my feet! My students love the look of them too!!”

“Sheryl and the Gym Mats team are nothing less than exceptional. They went out of their way to make sure the final product and our branding was exactly what we wanted for our boxing bags, even over the busy Christmas season. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Gym Mats NZ and appreciate their flexibility in making a product that fit our needs exactly. Love that we don't have to import from overseas and have an amazing quality product and service right on our shores. Thanks Gym Mats NZ.”

“Awesome selection of Warriors gear. Great to support the club. Up the Wahs”

“Good customer service. We were looking for a gift and Aissey was helpful in showing us different options and helping us pick a gift.”

“I have been a long-time customer of Paladin and have consistently been impressed with the exceptional quality of their gear. Orders always arrive on time, and the products are reliable and well-made. I highly recommend Paladin to individuals, sports teams, and clubs seeking high-quality athletic apparel and equipment.”

“Had a great experience renting from Megan at Lion Rock Surf Shop! She was really helpful in picking what board I should be using. Couldn’t recommend her enough and made my last day in NZ unforgettable!”

“Alastair has been super helpful & has great product knowledge! Buying sim gear is a pretty complex and personal process but the team at Fastmaster made it super easy. Highly recommended & I will remain a repeat customer! Cheers”

“Stephanie and the team at KiwiCrew are fantastic! Always impeccable quality screenprints and embroidery, as well as a quick turnaround. Thanks again!”
