About AX-BOX Shop
A sports store on Market Street since 2016: running, training, football, cycling and the outdoors, with a workshop at the back and a run club every Saturday.
Our story
AX-BOX Shop started in 2016 as a narrow running shop on Market Street in San Francisco: two walls of shoes, a treadmill for gait checks and a coffee machine that never got a day off. Most of our first customers came in after the Saturday run in Golden Gate Park, and plenty of them still do.
Over the years the store grew room by room. Training wear came first, then football boots for the youth clubs in the Mission, then bikes and a workshop to keep them rolling. Today we cover running, training, football, cycling and the outdoors, online and in the store.
We keep the range small on purpose: eight brands we know well and stock in depth. Norvik makes our outerwear, Halden the training wear, Strivo the shoes, Kickline the football kit and Ridgeway Cycles the bikes. Ironfold covers the home gym, Tempo Lab the watches and audio, Packrite the bags.
Every product on the site has been worn, ridden or lifted by someone on the team. If a pair of shoes is wrong for the way you run, we would rather tell you than sell it.
