Recently, I’ve realized that when I shop for sportswear, I’m no longer just asking myself whether something is “good for working out.”For me, if a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes can take me from a workout to a coffee shop, a shopping trip, or even a holiday, I’m much more likely to make it part of my everyday wardrobe.

That’s why I was immediately interested when I came across the Marathon Sports SSEBONGRAMA Hong Kong Special Edition.There’s also a special promotion going on:SSEBONGRAMA meets Marathon Sports | Hong Kong Special Edition Now Available! VIP 15% Off | Members 10% Off
I also picked out three representative sportswear pieces that caught my attention and wanted to share them with you. If you’re into sports, travelling, or athleisure fashion, I think these pieces are definitely worth checking out.
01 | Marathon Sport-UPF50 Oil-Repellent Tapered Pants
The first item is the Marathon Sports-UPF50 Oil-Repellent Tapered Pants for Men. The first time I saw them, I immediately felt that they matched what I imagine as the perfect pair of everyday sports pants for Hong Kong. The weather in Hong Kong can be unpredictable, and when I’m out, I’m usually walking, taking public transport, or moving between different places. Quite often, I need one pair of pants that can stay comfortable from morning until evening.
These pants are made from 88% nylon and 12% spandex, which gives them a certain amount of stretch. I think that’s particularly useful when I’m moving around a lot. What caught my attention even more is that they offer UPF50 UV protection and oil-repellent functionality. They also feature zippered pockets on both sides, a rear zippered pocket, and an elastic waistband with a drawstring.
For me, these details are genuinely practical. For example, if I’m spending a weekend walking around the West Kowloon Cultural District, I can simply put them on and head out. If I suddenly decide to go hiking or take a longer walk, I don’t need to change into another pair of pants. They’re comfortable enough to handle different kinds of activities throughout the day.
If I’m travelling around Hong Kong, I’d even pack them in my suitcase. For me, these Marathon Sports tapered pants are the perfect example of a practical everyday sportswear piece. They combine comfort, flexibility, and useful features in a way that makes them easy to wear from morning until evening.

02 | ASICS Novablast 6 Running Shoes
The second item is the ASICS Novablast 6 Men’s Running Shoes. Whenever I look at running shoes, I naturally pay attention to whether they can fit into my everyday exercise routine. I’ve always associated ASICS with a strong focus on sports performance and running equipment, which is one of the reasons I’m interested in the Novablast series.
If I were planning a running route in Hong Kong, I’d probably start somewhere near the waterfront or a park. I might go for a short run in the morning, find a café for breakfast afterwards, and then slowly explore the surrounding neighbourhood. I think that’s one of the most interesting things about running shoes — they don’t necessarily have to belong exclusively to the “running” category.
When I travel around Hong Kong, I actually walk a lot every day. I might walk from an MTR station to a sightseeing spot, then walk from a shopping mall to a restaurant. By the end of the day, the number of steps can add up very quickly. That’s why, for me, a pair of shoes that feels comfortable while still giving me a sporty look is much more important than simply having a pair that looks good in photos.
If I were planning a short trip around Hong Kong, I’d definitely consider packing the Novablast 6 in my suitcase. I could wear them while sightseeing during the day and continue wearing them while shopping in the evening. For me, this combination of sports and travel is an important factor when I choose running shoes.
03 | adidas Dance Box Tee With Scarf
The third item is the adidas Dance Box Tee With Scarf for Women. If the first two pieces are more about practicality, this is the one that makes me think more about styling. I personally love athleisure fashion because it doesn’t feel too formal, while still giving me plenty of ways to change up my look depending on where I’m going.
This adidas short-sleeve Tee gives me a very relaxed feeling. For a casual weekend, I might pair it with loose-fitting trousers and sneakers before heading into Central for some shopping and coffee. If I’m travelling, I could wear it with jeans or casual trousers and add a small shoulder bag.
I especially like simple combinations like this because when I’m travelling, I really don’t want to spend too much time thinking about what I should wear every single day. Hong Kong also has so many places where athleisure works naturally. Whether I’m visiting West Kowloon, shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui, or browsing stores in Causeway Bay, I don’t think this kind of outfit would feel out of place.
For me, the ideal sportswear piece is something that feels comfortable while I’m exercising, but still looks perfectly normal when I continue wearing it to dinner afterwards. That’s why I think this adidas Tee works well as a versatile piece for both everyday life and travel.

Why Am I Interested in This Marathon Sports Collection?
In the past, I often separated “sports” and “everyday life” when buying sportswear. Running shoes were for running, casual shoes were for shopping, and travelling usually meant packing another separate set of clothes. But now I’m starting to feel like I don’t really need to do that anymore.
Especially in Hong Kong, I might visit several different places in a single day. I could go running in the morning, have lunch at noon, go shopping in the afternoon, and meet friends in the evening. If one piece can work across all of these situations, I actually appreciate it much more.
That’s why I was interested when I came across the Marathon Sports × SSEBONGRAMA Special Edition. It feels like a good match for the lifestyle I enjoy now. I’d rather think of sportswear as part of an active lifestyle, rather than simply another piece of sports equipment.
If I took these three pieces on a trip around Hong Kong, I’d wear them for walking, sightseeing, shopping, and even a casual dinner. I wouldn’t need to change my outfit throughout the day. That’s exactly why I’ve become more interested in athleisure fashion.
I’m Also Keeping an Eye on the Member Promotion
The current promotion is: SSEBONGRAMA meets Marathon Sports | Hong Kong Special Edition Now Available! VIP 15% Off | Members 10% Off. If you’re already a Marathon Sports VIP or member, it’s worth taking a look at the collection and seeing which pieces fit your needs.
Personally, I prefer choosing based on how I’ll actually use each item. For running, I’d consider the ASICS Novablast 6. For everyday wear and moving around Hong Kong, I’d look at the Marathon Sports-UPF50 Oil-Repellent Tapered Pants. And for a relaxed women’s athleisure look, I’d go for the adidas Dance Box Tee With Scarf.
What I like most about this Special Edition is how easily these pieces fit into real life. I can wear them for running, travelling, sightseeing, or simply spending the day around Hong Kong. I don’t have to keep changing my outfit just because my plans change.
That’s probably why I’ve started liking Marathon Sports more — I want my sportswear to be part of my everyday life, not something I only wear when I’m exercising.
