Here we are, ten days away from the kickoff of World Pride in New York City, with Pride Month more than halfway done, and you’re still shopping for Pride gear? No worries, honey, Outsports got you.
Let’s do this in alphabetical order, starting with Adidas.
Adidas
The Adidas Pride Collection for 2019 has 163 products to choose from, shoes to slides to shorts and pants and hoodies and hats and backpacks and thigh-high socks. And more. There are trefoil-emblazoned apparel for men, women and kids, and every color in the rainbow, plus glitter.
There are 98 items under $50, with most items in the $50-$100 range, and just a few that cost more than $100. Sneaker wearers who long for the 1990s will want to snag a pair of updated Ozweego running shoes starting at $110. Read more about the Ozweego in Footwear News, which reports Adidas is supporting The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for youth of the community. Its contributions are not connected with sales, according to the report.
Only one Adidas item in the Pride collection sells for more than $150 — the Adidas Ultraboost 19 Pride shoes, yours for $180 (Shipping and taxes extra).
Bombas
Bombas has created limited-edition Pride socks in ankle and calf styles, made with a special space dye technique done in a rainbow palette. Both styles retail for $12 a pair; a 4-pack containing two of each style is on sale for $45.60 on Bombas.com. The company will donate 40% of its donation socks — up to 1 million pairs — to homeless LGBTQ youths in partnership with the Ally Coalition.
Brooks
Brooks has created a limited-edition Run Proud collection, featuring apparel and accessories with designs celebrating Pride, expression and inclusivity. The collection ranges from $16 to $24 and is currently available on Brooksrunning.com.

Custom Chuck Taylor All Star Pride low top sneakers designed by Dawn Ennis
I was so enamored of the design possibilities first tweeted by journalist and transgender pioneer Gwen Smith, I ordered my own personal creation, with the word “Outsports” stitched on their sides. They were made in Vietnam and arrived too late for Outsports Pride and L.A. Pride but I plan to wear them proudly at World Pride in NYC.
Former Navy SEAL Kristin Beck is a spokesmodel for Converse and tweeted that she ordered a shitload.

I cannot think of a better way to celebrate 9 years on T today than having the #betrue campaign launch. Thank you @Nike for celebrating me as an athlete & transathlete, and for empowering athletes across the world to be unapologetic about who they are. #UntilWeAllWin pic.twitter.com/awB97QPZtL

Nike’s design for 2019 includes the classic swoosh symbol and Baker’s original 8-color flag. Pink and turquoise were dropped at the last minute in 1979, when flagmakers ran out of pink, and Baker stripped turquoise from his design to keep the stripes to an even six.
Nike’s Be True collection of apparel ranges from socks starting at $18 to hats for $28, all the way up to the $180 Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo Be True running shoe (shipping and taxes not included). Each pair comes in a rainbow-colored shoebox emblazoned with Baker’s signature.
