8 Fitness & Sports Gifts From Escapade

Saucony – Women’s Tempus, $1,399

A pair of Women’s Tempus shoes from Saucony would be a great gift for a friend of mine who really enjoys running. Talk about style and function all packed in one! It has a subtle design with just the right amount of colour, making it an ideal choice for her daily runs. I’m sure she would also appreciate the spring in her step from the super foam bounce and the breathable upper mesh that will keep her feet cool and dry.

Saucony – Men’s Chicago Kinvara Pro, $1,299

My husband actually wakes up at 5am every morning to go for a run before work. For Christmas, this pair of sneakers caught my eye especially because the Kinvara PRO is engineered to bring more efficiency to your daily running routine. It uses SPEEDROLL technology that works like a propeller and PWRRUN PB cushioning for the ultimate spring in your stride!

Manduka – Eko Lite Yoga Mat 4MM, $899

This 99 percent latex-free yoga mat is eco-friendly and biodegradable, made from non-Amazon harvested tree rubber. But it doesn’t skimp on performance either, with a naturally grippy surface that’ll keep anyone from slipping — supporting both their practice and the planet. I’m gifting this berry-coloured Acai Midnight option.

— Joy, Designer

Brooks Running – Women’s Catamount 2, $1,250

I’m not quite ready to restart running but these Brooks sneakers are too cute for words. I love the sea blue and black colourway with pink accents, its responsive cushioning and grippy traction — perfect for someone with unstable knees like myself. If I’m gifting, the propulsion plate for uphill efficiency makes this trail-running shoe perfect for hitting top speed. I’ll stick to using it as a comfortable pair of everyday trainers that I can always take out for the day I return to a full cardio workout.

Polar – Vantage V3 Premium Multisport Watch, $4,890

I think this GPS multisports watch would be a fitting gift for anyone! For the sports enthusiast, not only is this a stylish accessory but it gives them an efficient tool to track their fitness progress. It can also be a gift to someone looking towards picking up healthier habits, with the watch becoming a motivational tool to help get them started! I personally love its sleek design and the Sunrise Apricot colourway — a stunning white and orange combo.

Brooks Running – Men’s Catamount 2, $1,250

I’d gift these lightweight ​trail-running shoes to my husband as a great everyday pick or for when he’s out bike riding with the family. He tends to dress in more safe and neutral colours, so the rust orange-brown and navy blue together could easily provide a nice pop of colour to his outfit.

Polar Bottle – Sport Insulated, $105

Everyone needs a handy water bottle, especially for days when you’re working out. I have a friend who runs all year round, so this insulated sports bottle by Polar Bottle should keep them hydrated and cool even during those sweltering summer nights. It’s leak-proof and comes with a Dash Handle that’s comfortable to carry so it’s perfect if you’re exercising outdoors.

— Nicole, Executive Editor

2XU – Run Visor, $159

Don’t laugh! I find buying hats a little troublesome because they don’t always suit my head. But I do desperately need to keep the sun out of my too-sensitive eyes. This visor is perfect for balancing my glasses, a high ponytail and suiting my head no matter what. It’s lightweight, moisture-wicking and fast-drying too, so I can stay focused while I’m on the move. A good gift for anyone with a lot of hair, I think!
