Gate-side in T1, Tennis is your generic fashion stop
By the T1 departure gates, Tennis sells casual Colombian-brand clothing and basics, so this is more about last‑minute outfits than sports gear. You’ll see their logo from the main post-security corridor, a few minutes’ walk from most international gates at Rafael Nuñez. Stock leans to jeans, T‑shirts, shorts, and sneakers rather than technical tennis apparel, despite the name.
Prices run higher than downtown Cartagena: think mall-level Latin American chain, not outlet. Expect T‑shirts in the COP 70,000–120,000 range and jeans starting around COP 150,000. You’re paying airport rent, but it’s still cheaper than many US or European brands if you’re connecting out. Staff typically run standard airport hours, roughly from first T1 departures into the late‑evening wave.
Inventory in this T1 shop skews carry‑on friendly: lots of lightweight cotton pieces and slip-on shoes that won’t wreck your bag weight. If you actually need court shoes or racquets, this isn’t the place; think streetwear with a sporty lean. Fitting rooms are small, so try to grab your size off the racks once instead of cycling through ten options.
The practical play: if you forgot warm‑weather gear before flying to the islands, use Tennis as a quick top‑up, but skip anything you can easily buy in Cartagena’s Centro or Bocagrande at non-airport branches for less.
