By
Matt Tompkins |Most people wait until January 1st to "flip the switch." But if you’re reading this, you know that momentum isn't built in a single day—it’s engineered through preparation.
At Stadium Goods, we believe that the right gear doesn't just support your workout; it changes your mindset. As we approach the end of the year, we’re looking ahead to 2026. Beating the New Year’s resolution rush means securing the best tech and the sharpest silhouettes now, so when the rest of the world is scrambling for motivation, you’re already miles ahead.
Here is our curated kit from our workout collection to help you dominate your 2026 goals.
The Footwear: Precision and Power

ASICS Gel-1130 'Black' (1201A906 001)
The late-2000s aesthetic isn't going anywhere. The Gel-1130 is the perfect bridge between a high-performance trainer and a street-ready essential. Featuring signature GEL™ technology for shock absorption, the triple-black colorway ensures your kit stays sleek whether you’re hitting the pavement or the pavement is hitting back.

On Cloudtilt 'Black Ivory' (3ME10101430)
If you prioritize a smooth ride, the Cloudtilt is your secret weapon. Engineered with CloudTec Phase® technology, this pair offers seamless weight transfer and a "walking on clouds" sensation. The Black and Ivory palette provides a sophisticated, high-contrast look for the modern athlete.

Nike Pegasus Premium 'Black' (IH4369 001)
The "Peg" has been a runner’s staple for decades, but the Premium edition takes it to another level. With enhanced responsiveness and a secure fit, this is the workhorse designed for those 5:00 AM runs that will define your 2026 progress.

The EVO SL represents the cutting edge of the Three Stripes' lifestyle-meets-performance philosophy. It’s lightweight, breathable, and features a progressive silhouette that stands out in a sea of basic trainers.
The Apparel: Form Meets Function

Nike Top All Over Print Dri-FIT (DV3237 378)
Don't settle for a basic gym tee. This Dri-FIT top features a bold all-over print in a deep, organic green hue. It’s designed to wick sweat away instantly, keeping you cool during high-intensity intervals while ensuring you’re the best-dressed person in the weight room.


Skims Sport Bras (Black & Brown)
Support is non-negotiable. We’ve added the Skims Sport Bra in Black (SKM010) and Brown (SKM012) to the roster because of their unmatched compression and "second-skin" feel.
-
The Black: A foundational piece for any kit.
-
The Brown: A rich, earthy tone that pairs perfectly with neutral leggings or joggers.
These bras offer the perfect balance of flexibility and hold, making them ideal for everything from yoga to heavy lifting.
