athletic clothing store
A store specializing in activewear, sports clothing, or athletic-styled casual clothing, including team-branded items.
An athletic clothing store is a retail space specializing in clothing suitable for sports or outdoor activity, including running gear, jerseys, athletic shoes, helmets, sports uniforms, hiking shoes, and other forms of activewear. It may also focus on athletic-styled clothing for casual use, such as team-branded shirts and jackets.
This usage differs from a sporting goods store, which may carry athletic clothing but also sells a variety of other sports equipment.
Clothing associated with a sport can be included even when bought for casual wear. Team-branded shirts therefore fit this specialization without requiring that their purchasers participate in the sport.
