Adidas sneakers from the USA — originals with delivery to Russia

 

Adidas

Original sneakers from the USA with delivery to Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan in 7–15 days

Why Adidas is back in the spotlight

In March 2022, Adidas suspended operations in Russia, and by June closed all 500+ retail locations and the online store. The write-off amounted to about 250 million euros, while the Russian market generated around 600 million euros in annual revenue. Officially, you can no longer buy Adidas in the Russian Federation through the brand.

Meanwhile, it was exactly in 2024–2025 that the most powerful renaissance of retro Adidas models happened. According to the Lyst Index for Q1 2025, Adidas Taekwondo became the hottest sneaker in the world — surpassing all Nike and New Balance models. Samba, Gazelle, and Handball Spezial continue to hold top positions for the third year in a row.

The only way to get the original at an American price — is to order directly from the USA. The ProstoBox warehouse is located in Delaware (0% sales tax), which saves 6–10% compared to other states.

The history of Adidas: from workshop to global symbol

1924

Brothers Adi and Rudolf Dassler founded the Gebrüder Dassler shoe workshop in Herzogenaurach, Germany.

1936

Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the Berlin Olympics wearing Dassler sneakers. The brand became global.

1949

Adi Dassler registered Adidas AG. The three stripes became a trademark — one of the most recognizable logos in history.

1950

The West Germany national football team won the 1954 World Cup in Adidas boots with screw-in studs. The «Miracle of Bern» cemented the brand in sports.

1969

Release of Superstar — the first sneakers with a «shell» toe. 17 years later, Run-DMC would turn them into a symbol of hip-hop.

1971

Stan Smith: a tennis model that became the best-selling shoe in history as of the 2010s — more than 70 million pairs.

1979

Handball Spezial — for indoor handball courts. In 2024, it became a street fashion hit after the wave of «terrace culture».

2023

Bjørn Gulden became CEO. The retro lineup (Samba, Gazelle, Spezial) saved the brand after the split with Yeezy. Revenue growth +8%.

Sites not opening from Russia?

Adidas.com and most American retailers block access from Russian IP addresses. The solution is simple: turn on a VPN with a server in the USA (Windscribe, Proton VPN, or similar will work) — and the sites will open. The VPN is only needed for browsing the catalog and choosing a model. ProstoBox will place and pay for the order for you.

How much it costs: calculation example

Let’s calculate delivery of Adidas Samba OG ($100) from the USA to Russia:

Adidas Samba OG sneakers$100.00
Sales tax (warehouse in Delaware)$0.00
Buyer service (promo code SNEAKERS)$0.00
Door-to-door delivery (up to 2 kg)$19.99
Total$119.99 (~11 400 ₽)

Approximate rate: 1 USD ≈ 95 RUB. On Russian marketplaces, the same Samba cost 14 000–18 000 ₽ with no guarantee of authenticity.

Adidas size guide

Adidas uses the European size chart. General rule: retro models (Samba, Gazelle, Superstar) fit differently than running ones. Here are specific recommendations:

Samba OG True to size. Narrow last — if you have a wide foot, go +0.5.
Taekwondo True to size. Slim fit, but the leather will stretch in a couple of days.
Gazelle True to size. The suede is soft and molds to the foot. For Bold (platform) — also TTS.
Handball Spezial Runs small! Go +0.5 from your usual size. The narrowest model in the lineup.
Campus 00s True to size. The thick sole gives a sense of volume, but the length is standard.
SL 72 OG True to size. Lighter and softer than the others — the nylon does not press.
Superstar Runs large! Go −0.5. The shell toe adds length in front.
Stan Smith True to size. The leather is stiff the first few days, then breaks in.

Cheat sheet: which model to choose

  • I want the most fashionable sneaker of 2025 → Taekwondo (Lyst #1) or Samba OG
  • I want suede classics → Gazelle (softer) or Handball Spezial (narrower, «terrace style»)
  • I want a chunky sole → Campus 00s
  • I want light sneakers for every day → SL 72 OG (nylon, only ~280 g)
  • I want a white minimalist pair → Stan Smith
  • I want timeless classics from 1969 → Superstar (shell toe forever)

How to order original sports goods from America to Russia

This surprises many people, but you can still freely order goods from America to Russia. This applies to gadgets, clothing, and sports gear. Directly from stores such as Decathlon, Amazon, Finish Line and eBay, you can buy many sports goods that are not sold in Russia. There they cost much less than they ever did in Russia, and you are guaranteed to get a genuine product rather than a Chinese counterfeit. Everyone knows that if you need good sports gear, including for skiing, golf, hockey, basketball, or diving, many quality products can only be found on the American market.

Moreover, recently shopping in the USA has even become cheaper. Especially if you are buying clothing, shoes, or gear priced at up to 300 dollars per item. The limits were removed, duties were reduced. The customs limit used to start at 200 euros per parcel, now it starts at 1000 euros. Therefore, buyers of, say, expensive electronics have started using the services of mail forwarders much more often.
