Running stores carry usually higher quality gear than you’d get at mall stores. Don’t just look at the brand, but actually inspect the quality of the materials and the sewing. I have had best luck with Brooks and Saucony branded gear bought at running stores. Nike cannot be trusted, it’s just a logo at this point. . . They make some higher quality stuff but you can’t assume it’s high quality because it says Nike. An $135 brooks running jacket is worth 50 crappy sierra trading or factory outlet running long sleeves.
