Get Back-To-School Shopping Done Right And Early At Dick’s Sporting Goods

It might be a scary thought, but just as quick as it started, the end of summer is creeping up. We know, we know- you’ve still got a few weeks left before everything starts up once again, but when it comes to getting ahead on next season, there’s no time like the present. Luckily, Dick’s Sporting Goods is already thinking about your back to school wardrobe, offering up a wide array of their freshest styles from Nike, New Balance, adidas and more. Check out our picks below or check out everything Dick’s Sporting Goods catalog has to offer for yourself.

Consistent as ever, the Nike Dunk Low offers up a mix of off-white and “Aster Pink” for the ladies. It allows you to impart some vibrant sensibility with the ever-reliable model, and “Next Nature” construction adds some sustainable punch in the process. For a men’s offering, the Dunk also presents a “Grey Fog” colorway, lending to a cleaned-cut style. Last but not least, the Nike Killshot’s simple construction is perfect for casual wear, but you’d be surprised how this “White/Brown” version spruces up for smarter occasions.

A small handful of models get all the “dad shoe” shine for New Balance, but there’s a ton more below the surface that exemplify that wave. Case in point: the New Balance 530. Its wavy overlays combine for a look you can’t find anywhere else in the NB catalog and the evergreen blend of cream & gray ensures it offers the same retro vibe along the way. The New Balance 997R taps into the dominant 99x formula in that same “Grey Day” fashion, serving up an enduring dad shoe look with a hint of streetwear appeal. Speaking of retro, the throwback basketball appeal pops up with the 480 in a rich brown colorway.

Maybe more than any other shoe in this guide, the adidas Samba needs no introduction. Carrying decades of lifestyle appeal, the model is plenty familiar with sliding seamlessly into closets, but with an additional dose of “Solar Red,” this is a genuine head-turner. The classic adidas formula of black leather & gum bottoms gets a chunky refresh with the adidas Campus, a better match if your wardrobe leans towards the baggy. And if you want to size things up even more, look no further than the Adidas Gazelle Bold. Sporting a triple platform sole, it might not be three times the shoe the Gazelle proper is, but the extra height turns the model from daily driver to true statement piece.
