Are you looking to get started with Parkour, or are you an experienced Traceur looking to upgrade your current equipment? Look no further than Amazon! It’s truly the catchall for shopping, and even though they don’t have all our favorite Parkour brands, they also have some great products that Parkour brands aren’t offering. With this in mind, we’ve reached into our personal experience to find the best Parkour products on Amazon that’ll help you get the most out of your Parkour training. Here is our list.
First, let’s talk about the obvious: shoes. It’s the most essential training item in Parkour. There are a handful of Parkour specific shoes out there, but there are only two on Amazon.
Take Flight, who has been a long-time partner and supporter of us, has their have their Stealth Ultra 2nd Gens, and 2nd Gen Xs available. These shoes are truly awesome!
OLLO is the other Parkour shoe on Amazon. Their new ALPHA is pretty cool! We recommend the black because, you know, training outside will make it really dirty.
If neither of those are for you, we recommend Feiyues. These were an all-time favorite for Traceurs before Parkour brands got into the game.
Note: a generic training shoe can be a great option as well. Remember, it doesn’t have to be a “Parkour shoe” to be great for Parkour. David Belle never had a Parkour shoe, and look what he accomplished.
After shoes, let’s look at the training experience. Most Traceurs carry around a backpack and water bottle. Are you happy with what you have in that regard? If not, here are some options we found and some features we look for.
For backpacks make sure to find something with multiple pockets. Also go for a snug fit. This Osprety backpack is small and sleek, and has the waist straps that make sure you can run and jump in it if needed.
You can’t really go wrong with a water bottle. The most important features here are 1) make sure it is large enough, 2) make sure it is light, 3) make sure it closes tightly. There are endless options. Click here to see some great options.
Now, let’s move on to the all important…safety equipment? Well, we mostly mean band aids lol. For years we have used gymnastics tape as band aids, and in our opinion it’s a must have in every Traceur’s training bag. You never know when you’re going to tear your hands on a wall climb.

Chalk is another product to consider. More and more Traceurs are using chalk for grip both when climbing and for classic moves like kong pres. You can see the use of chalk in the video “Mind the Gap” which we recently highlighted. Since you’ll be walking around with it, you’ll need to have it in a contained way such as in a chalk bag, or you’ll need liquid chalk. Click here to see a great selection of options.
One of the great things about Parkour is you don’t need much gear at all! Between shoes, backpacks, water bottles, tape, and chalk, you should be set to go just about anywhere. So why wait? Check out these top parkour products on Amazon and take your training to the next level.
