Original sneakers from the USA with delivery to Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan in 7–15 days 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. Brothers Adi and Rudolf Dassler founded the Gebrüder Dassler shoe workshop in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the Berlin Olympics wearing Dassler sneakers. The brand became global. Adi Dassler registered Adidas AG. The three stripes became a trademark — one of the most recognizable logos in history. 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. Release of Superstar — the first sneakers with a «shell» toe. 17 years later, Run-DMC would turn them into a symbol of hip-hop. Stan Smith: a tennis model that became the best-selling shoe in history as of the 2010s — more than 70 million pairs. Handball Spezial — for indoor handball courts. In 2024, it became a street fashion hit after the wave of «terrace culture». Bjørn Gulden became CEO. The retro lineup (Samba, Gazelle, Spezial) saved the brand after the split with Yeezy. Revenue growth +8%. Also spotted in Adidas: Kendall Jenner (Taekwondo), Timothée Chalamet (Samba), Dakota Johnson (Samba, teal, New York, May 2024), Jeremy Allen White (Spezial), Bad Bunny (Gazelle, collaboration). Created in 1950 for training on frozen fields, Samba became the main sneaker of the 2020s. Leather upper, suede T-toe, iconic gum sole. Worn with everything — from suits to shorts. A slip-on with roots in martial arts. Minimalist leather upper, ultra-thin gum sole. Lyst named it the hottest sneaker of Q1 2025 — it even beat Nike and New Balance. Since 1966 — the benchmark for suede sneakers. Soft suede upper, OrthoLite insole, contrasting three stripes. The Bold platform version exploded in the women’s segment in 2024. Born in 1979 handball halls, Spezial is a symbol of British terrace culture. Suede upper, gum sole, narrow fit. The Sporty & Rich collab (February 2025) sold out in minutes. A reinterpretation of the iconic Campus with a thickened sole in the spirit of the 2000s. Premium suede, chunky gum frame. The perfect choice for those who find Samba too «thin». A running silhouette from the 1972 Munich Olympics. Nylon and suede, EVA sole, lighter than most retro models. Who What Wear called the SL 72 the «next Samba» back in 2024. A «shell» toe, full leather upper, rubber sole. From basketball — to hip-hop (Run-DMC, 1986) — and forever into street fashion. 55+ years on the market, still relevant. The best-selling sneakers in history. Smooth leather, perforated three stripes, green heel accent. Updated versions with Primegreen (recycled materials) are no worse than the original. Adidas.com and most American retailers block access from Russian IP addresses.

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:
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)
