Midway Sports Opens New Store Near Downtown Miami, Bringing Top Athletic Brands

River Landing Shops & Residences, recently named “Best Shopping Destination” in the Miami New Times Best of Miami Readers’ Poll for the second consecutive year, has welcomed Midway Sports.

The nationally recognized retailer is now open, bringing authentic athletic apparel, footwear, and gear to the award-winning waterfront shopping and dining destination near Downtown Miami.

Midway Sports occupies a 5,809-square-foot space within the open-air shopping mall, joining a diverse mix of national retailers, wellness providers, and riverfront restaurants that have helped make River Landing a go-to destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment in Miami.

Founded in Miami in 1975, Midway Sports is trusted by athletes nationwide for its 100% authentic gear from top brands such as Nike, Jordan, and Under Armour. Known for its performance-driven inventory and commitment to authenticity, the store is a natural addition to River Landing’s retail mix.

“The location, energy, and overall retail experience at River Landing made a strong impression on us,” said Mike Tosar, President of Midway Sports. “The consistent foot traffic and visibility confirmed that this was the right environment to support our growth and connect with even more customers in the heart of Miami.”

 

“We’re excited to welcome Midway Sports to River Landing as they continue to grow,” said Andrew Hellinger, Co-Principal of Urban-X Group, who developed River Landing with business partner Coralee Penabad. “They’re a Miami original, trusted, respected, and loved by the community. It’s the perfect match for River Landing, where we’ve created a space that brings people together to shop, dine, and experience the best of Miami living.”

The opening comes on the heels of River Landing’s second consecutive Best of Miami win and back-to-back honors in the Miami Herald‘s Miami-Dade Favorites readers’ poll, recognitions that speak to the development’s focus on community. River Landing drew 6.9 million visitors in 2025 and is now 96% leased across its residential and retail space. Midway Sports joins anchors including Publix, Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-A, Old Navy, Ulta Beauty, and T.J. Maxx, along with wellness tenants such as Planet Fitness, Posh Life Pilates, Bamboo Massage, MYIVSpa, and CKO Boxing.

Food lovers visiting the new Midway Sports location can also explore River Landing’s growing dining offerings, including Elia on the River, Tanuki, Ficelle Boulangerie & Patisserie, and Le Bistro by Ficelle, all situated along the public Miami Riverwalk.

With more than 345,000 square feet of retail space, 135,000 square feet of office space, 528 market-rate apartments, and 850 feet of landscaped public riverwalk, River Landing remains one of the only mixed-use developments in Miami accessible by car, train, bike, and boat.

River Landing is owned by Toronto-based H&R REIT and was developed by Urban-X Group.
