Trainers, kits, and activewear built for growing, energetic young athletes.
Sports & Fitness Guide
From school PE and swimming lessons to football academies and family bike rides, active kids need proper sportswear — comfortable, hard-wearing, and made to move. The Dubai Mall is a great place to find it, with major sports retailers and brand stores all offering dedicated children’s ranges. Here are the most famous places to buy kids’ sportswear at The Dubai Mall, and how to choose well.
The Big Multi-Brand Retailers
Sun & Sand Sports — The Middle East’s largest sports retailer offers an extensive kids’ range across footwear, apparel, and equipment, drawing on more than 90 brands including Nike, adidas, Puma, and New Balance. With everything from trainers and football boots to swimwear and team kit under one roof, its first-floor flagship is the natural first stop for active children of every age.
Go Sport — This premium multi-brand retailer carries a broad selection of children’s sportswear, footwear, and accessories across many labels and price points. With gear for a variety of sports and helpful staff to assist with sizing, it is an excellent second stop for comparing options and finding the right fit for a growing child.
Brand Stores Kids Love
Nike & adidas — Both flagships offer strong kids’ ranges spanning trainers, football boots, tracksuits, and activewear in junior sizes. Popular with children who want the same brands as their sporting heroes, they are ideal for football-mad kids in particular, with age-appropriate versions of the boots and kit worn by the professionals.
Puma — Puma offers stylish, well-priced children’s sportswear and footwear spanning football, running, and casual athleisure. Often more accessibly priced than some rivals, it is a great choice for parents who want quality, on-trend gear for active kids without stretching the budget too far, especially given how quickly children grow.
Skechers — Famous for comfort, Skechers offers a popular kids’ range including cushioned trainers and fun, character-led designs, many with easy fastenings and light-up features younger children adore. Lightweight and easy to wear, they are ideal for everyday active play and for children just starting out in sport.
Foot Locker — A one-stop sneaker destination, Foot Locker stocks kids’ trainers from top athletic brands, including the latest releases in junior sizes. For children who care about their sneakers as much as their sport, it is a great place to find on-trend footwear that works equally well for play, PE, and the playground.
Columbia & New Balance — For outdoorsy families, Columbia offers children’s sun-protective and weather-ready apparel ideal for hikes and cooler-season adventures, while New Balance provides comfortable, supportive kids’ trainers well suited to running and everyday wear. Both are useful additions when a child’s activities extend beyond the pitch and the playground into the outdoors.
How to Choose Kids’ Sportswear
Children’s sportswear rewards a few practical priorities. Fit is everything: shoes should have a little growing room but not so much that they slip, and it is worth having active children’s feet measured regularly, as they change fast. Breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics keep kids comfortable in Dubai’s heat, while UPF-rated pieces add valuable sun protection for outdoor sport. Easy fastenings — Velcro or elastic — help younger children manage independently, and darker colours or patterns tend to survive grass stains and playground scuffs far better.
Buying Smart for Growing Kids
Because children outgrow clothing and footwear so quickly, it rarely makes sense to over-invest in any single size. Buy quality where it protects — supportive trainers and proper football boots — and economise on fast-changing basics like t-shirts and shorts. The mall’s frequent seasonal sales are a parent’s best friend here, and buying essentials slightly ahead in the next size up can save both money and last-minute panics before the new term or season begins.
Ready, Set, Play
From the vast kids’ ranges at Sun & Sand Sports and Go Sport to the trainers and kit at Nike, adidas, Puma, Skechers, and Foot Locker, The Dubai Mall makes it easy to keep active children well equipped. Prioritise fit, comfort, and sun protection, buy smart around their growth, and make the most of the sales. With the right gear, your young athlete will be ready for whatever sport comes next.
