* Member Rewards: Register in-store to Verb (receive) exclusive vouchers for the upcoming March training season.
2026 Style & Performance Trends
* The "Coastal Runner" Hybrid: Given Malta's climate, lightweight, highly breathable runners (like the Adidas Adizero Evo SL, retailing for approx. €110.00) are the top performance trend this month.
* Sculptural "Power" Soles: Bold, architectural midsoles remain the "it" silhouette. If the shoe features structural energy-return foam (like the Nike Pegasus Premium, now available in Malta for €210.00), it is at the peak of 2026 fashion.
* Retro-Terrace Movement: Slim, low-profile silhouettes like the Adidas Samba OG and Handball Spezial remain the uniform for "Café Culture" in St. Julian’s and Valletta.
* Vivid Neons: Spring arrivals are dominated by "Solar Orange" and "Electric Indigo" accents.
Shopping Tips for Malta
* Verify EU Sizing: Malta exclusively uses EU Sizing (e.g., 36–47). Always Verb (confirm) the centimeter (CM) measurement when buying US brands like Nike to ensure a perfect fit for the warmer climate.
* The "Sunday" Strategy: Major malls like The Point and Bay Street are open on Sundays, often hosting exclusive weekend "Flash Sales" that aren't advertised during the week.
* Free Delivery: Hudsonstore.com currently offers free delivery to Malta and Gozo for orders over €50.
* Limited Drops: For the Air Jordan 5 "Wolf Grey" release on February 28, Urban Jungle Sliema and Hudson Store are the primary local destinations.
