Players Sports Greenlane Flagship Store Auckland
Built For Sport. Full Stop.
Inside the Players Sports Greenlane Flagship Store
“Built For Sport. Full Stop.” isn’t just our tagline. It’s exactly how and why our Greenlane flagship store was created.
This store was purpose-built to be the physical expression of Players Sports. A space designed for athletes of all ages and levels, proud parents, and real fans. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just a sports gear retail environment that works the way it should.
Located at 1-7 Marewa Rd, Greenlane, Auckland our flagship store brings together our newest ranges, our most experienced team, and the behind-the-scenes elements that make Players Sports different.
Built With Purpose, Not Trends
A Flagship Store Done Properly
Greenlane wasn’t retrofitted or rushed. It was built intentionally, from layout to lighting, to give customers space to move, compare, and make informed decisions.
Every zone has a clear purpose. Footwear is laid out so you can compare like-for-like. Supporters’ gear is grouped by sport and use. Equipment is easy to access and easy to understand. In-store iPads let you browse our website for deeper product detail and live pricing. It’s all designed to support how Kiwis actually shop for sport in 2026.
The Brands That Matter, In One Place
We stock a wide range of performance-driven global brands that New Zealand athletes trust.
In-store you’ll find adidas, ASICS, New Balance, PUMA, On, HOKA, Gray-Nicolls, Wilson, Oakley, Classic Sportswear, Yonex, Dynasty Sport plus over 100 more brands across footwear, fan gear, equipment and accessories.
Greenlane is where those brands are backed up by people who understand the differences and can explain what actually suits your sport, position, and level.
Built as a Running Destination
One of Auckland’s Strongest Running Shoe Ranges
Running is a major focus at Greenlane, and the store reflects that.
We carry an extensive in-store range of road and trail running shoes, covering neutral, stability, cushioned and performance-focused options. Whether you’re training for a half marathon, running trails on the weekend, or just getting started, we’ll help you find the right fit and feel.
Brands include ASICS, HOKA, New Balance, On, Saucony, adidas and Brooks, with popular models available to try on properly in-store. You can also browse our running shoes collection online before visiting if you like to plan ahead.
Built to Show the Craft of Cricket
Cricket Bat Workshop Behind Glass
Cricket is at the core of Players Sports, and at Greenlane you can see that literally.
Our cricket bat workshop sits behind glass on the shop floor, giving customers a clear view into how bats are knocked in, repaired and customised. It’s a working space, not a display.
If you’re shopping our cricket bats range, you’re seeing exactly where and how those bats are brought up to match-ready standard.
Built to Customise Properly
Name and Number Customisation On Site
Greenlane is also home to our in-house name and number customisation station, visible behind glass from the store.
This is where official supporters’ jerseys are customised with names and numbers for football, NRL, rugby and more. Whether you’re adding a player name or your own, the work is done carefully, on site, by our team.
You can explore our supporters’ gear range online or in-store, with customisation available both ways.
Built for Fans, Not Just Players
Official Supporters’ Gear That’s Current
Greenlane carries a strong, up-to-date range of official supporters’ gear across:
From match jerseys to training gear and supporter apparel, this is where new releases land and where you can see them in person before buying.
Built as a Community Space
Events, Athletes and Real Conversations
Greenlane regularly hosts in-store events, including:
-
Meet-the-athlete sessions
-
Brand and product launches
-
Players Scholarships happenings
-
Community club and school VIP shopping nights
We also film most episodes of our Behind The Gear podcast on site. That means the conversations you hear online are happening right here in the store, with athletes, brand experts and our own team.
It’s not a set. It’s part of the store. Built into the space, just like everything else.
Built For Auckland, Worth the Trip
The Greenlane flagship is designed to be a destination. Easy to park. Easy to browse. Easy to ask questions. Easy to spend time without pressure.
Greenlane was chosen with our Auckland customers in mind. Centrally located and positioned right by the Greenlane roundabout, the store offers straightforward access from across the region, whether you’re coming from the north, south, or nearby central suburbs.
If you want to browse first, you can explore categories like running shoes, cricket bats, tennis rackets or supporters’ gear online, then come in-store to try, compare and get advice.
