Love for sports shoes made Russians fork out 45 billion rubles

Russians spent almost 45 billion rubles on sneakers. This was reported by the newspaper ” Vedomosti ” with reference to the report of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT).

This amount is a record, because in 2023, for the same period, Russians spent 32 billion rubles on sports shoes, and for seven months of 2022 and 2021 – 18 billion and 17.1 billion rubles, respectively.

In 2024, from January to July, the average price for a pair of sneakers in Russia was 3,699 rubles, showing an increase of more than 500 rubles. At the same time, in 2022 and 2021, sneakers were more expensive than this year.

Experts link the rise in spending on sports shoes to the increasingly popular trend in Russia towards a healthy lifestyle.
