Whether you’re chasing the latest sneaker drops or simply looking for comfortable shoes that elevate your workouts, brands like Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and On Running continue to lead the game in both performance and style.
But here’s the challenge: many of the best deals, colorways, and exclusive collections aren’t available in Singapore—or they’re priced significantly higher. If you want access to a broader selection and better prices, buying directly from the U.S., Japan, or Europe is the smartest move.
In this article, we’ll break down the best places to buy popular running and lifestyle shoes from these top brands—and show you exactly how to ship them to Singapore using Buy&Ship’s proxy shopping service.
Why Shop Overseas for Sneakers?
✅ 1. More Styles
U.S., EU, and Japan markets often get exclusive colorways and collections that never reach Southeast Asia.
✅ 2. Better Pricing
Due to currency exchange, regional sales, and direct-to-consumer pricing, shopping overseas can save you up to 30–40%.
✅ 3. Early Drops
Some markets release new shoes weeks or months before they appear in Singapore.
✅ 4. Full Size Range
Limited sizes in local stores? International sites often stock wide, narrow, and extended sizing.
