Paragon Sports

Paragon Sports has served New Yorkers since 1908 and has been family-owned and operated throughout, now run by the fourth generation. The single shop is a true city landmark, and in the 2026 USA TODAY Readers' Choice Awards it was voted the nation's number one sporting goods retailer. Its wide departments span sport, outdoor and lifestyle, with expert stringing, racquet demos and boot fitting on hand.

The edit leans towards heritage, outdoor and gorpcore, and sportswear. Expect 180s, Amphipod, Manzella and onia, alongside Sunski sunglasses and Babolat. The shop specialises in ski, running, tennis, team sports and camping.
