Which brands can still be bought in Russia? Spoiler: almost all of them are gone

Over the last six months, a huge number of brands have left the Russian market, and the information field makes you think that we have nothing left. However, sports brands are still bringing goods to Russia, and some are not planning to leave at all.

We have tried to gather in one material the brands that are still freely available (but be warned: you may not like the price of some of them).

Multi-brand sportswear and footwear stores

Manufacturers that have closed their mono-brand brand stores continue to supply goods through multi-brand distributors. This proves the presence of new collections on Russian shelves. Yes, the new products will reach us with a huge delay and at an inflated price, but treat yourself to your favorite sneakers will still be possible.

Street Beat weekly reports about additions to the collection of shoes and clothes. Here you can still find almost the entire size range of the iconic Nike: there are Air Force, Air Max and Huarache; in addition, the guys carry a huge amount of PUMA and Vans products .

A large selection of Converse and adidas Originals can be found in the multi-brand Super Step. And then there’s Anta sneakers and Russian brand Dva Balls.

If you’ve never looked for shoes at Rendez Vous, now is the time. The store offers Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Diadora, Saucony, Jog Dog, Diesel, New Balance and other sports and lifestyle brands.

Connoisseurs of Alpha Industries, Clarks, Carhartt and The North Face should definitely check out Sneakerhead. And Premiata is updated at Brandshop.

In the more premium segment it is worth paying attention to NO ONE stores . Here you can find great models from Barracuda, DSQUARED2 and HIDE&JACK.

A very large selection of sports equipment and casual sportswear is available in Trajectory. Go here for ROXY, DC, Burton and QUIKSILVER.

We’ve also made a selection of sneakers that will go great with a man’s suit.

Against the background of infopods about brands ceasing their activities in Russia, there is good news – many companies have stayed.

Brands that have remained on the market

Lacoste

The French company not only remained in Russia in the form of representation in multi-brands, but also does not close its branded stores in the shopping centers of the capital.

Ash

Six branded stores of the Italian-French brand continue to function in Moscow. Here you should look for ugly-shoes and excellent roomy backpacks. Collections are often updated, for example, in September Russian representatives announced the return of the cult sneakers ADDICT to the assortment in several colors at once.

Converse

Despite the fact that the brand is controlled by Nike, it did not follow the example of its big brother (perhaps, for now) – all branded stores of the chain remain open. New collections are expected less frequently, but the classics can be purchased with almost no problems with sizing. However, the price for Chuk Tailor in the neighborhood of 12 thousand rubles is unlikely to please you.

STOCKMANN

A brand with a world name, where you can buy other brands with a world name – this is about STOCKMANN. The Finnish company remains in the Russian market and gives you the opportunity to buy more than 300 really high-quality brands. Here you can find adidas, Benetton, Calvin Klein, Champion, Dr. Martens, Esprit, Geox, Jordan, Reebok, Urban Tiger.

Besides the above-mentioned, The North Face, Polo Ralph Lauren, Armani Exchange, Ecco, Karl Lagerfeld and New Balance have brand stores .

Resale sites

If you can’t find the item you’re looking for in branded and multi-brand stores, head to resale sites. They’ve had a big increase in demand in recent months, and some have been able to expand from the online store format into offline spaces.

To buy a pair of Air Jordan 1’s today, I’ll be heading over to OSKELLY. There are both used and new items here from private sellers or entire companies. If you didn’t find the right model in the search, don’t despair, but scroll through all the offers by brand – for example, Nike Dunk can hide under the name “Nike sneakers”. A distinctive feature of the site became a section where you can buy things of stars, for example, Philip Kirkorov’s sneakers.

Many new offers appeared on Avito, Yule and other similar services – many people simply bring branded things from traveling and sell them on the site. Of course, you should be careful – on this site no one can guarantee you the authenticity of the goods, you will have to rely on your own experience and intuition. For example, it is on such a site I sell sneakers that I do not wear more than a year to update the closet.

Among the popular resources where you can check authenticity, you can mention Sellfashion, Luxxy, Posh Market and Second Friend Store. Of those who leave this issue on the shoulders of the buyer and on the conscience of the seller – Yula and themarket.

We talked to its founder about the life of one of Russia’s largest networks of resale stores.
