More than just a jump shot: DAKAR HOOPS is aiming for empowerment.
In 2024, the association distributed 1,000 basketballs to young girls across 10 different locations in Senegal.
Between baskets, DAKAR HOOPS uses sports as a vehicle to tackle vital issues like menstrual hygiene and professional integration for young women.
The goal remains the same: to get people moving. -

This is co-creation.
When Decathlon develops a basketball shoe with an athlete, it is not a single game, but a journey together.
In 2025, Alex Sarr played the Rising Star Challenge with a "secret" Fast 900. No branding. Only real tests in the middle of competition, with direct feedback to the product team. Based on repetition and sincere conversations between the Washington Wizards player and the teams, the details were fine-tuned: fit, hold and responsiveness.
The Canaveral 900 Sarr Signature White marks a new step in this shared work. A new color built on everything learned along the way.
Alex will not be on track this weekend and we are fully by his side during his recovery.
The Rise is Real. -

This one has been 50 years in the making…
We are heading towards a massive milestone: Decathlon’s 50th anniversary in 2026. But to know where you’re going, you have to know where you came from.
Introducing Vertigo 76.
We opened our archives from 1976 and didn't just find "clothes" – we found our DNA. We found the spirit of adventure that started it all.
This isn't just a reissue. It’s a reinvention. We’ve taken the technical reliability of our past and fused it with the "gorpcore" aesthetic of today’s urban explorer. From the summits to the subway, this is everyday adventure.
A huge bravo to the Sportswear team for reviving the iconic "À Fond La Forme" triangle with such style.
The prelude to our golden anniversary drops today across Europe. -
