I found a way to get the Bodega x New Balance 9060 for 120 EUR less than Belgium prices

Why I wanted the 9060 Age of Discovery

I have been following the 2026 sneaker release calendar closely, and the Bodega x New Balance 9060 'Age of Discovery' stood out immediately. This US-exclusive boutique collaboration features a unique mix of textures and a color palette that I haven't seen on other 9060 models this year. Because it is a limited release from a US boutique, the demand in the European and Chinese markets has driven resale prices to extreme levels. I knew that if I wanted these without paying a 100% markup to a local reseller in Brussels, I had to source them directly from the United States.

The price gap between US and Belgium

I compared the costs and the results were startling. In the US, the retail price for this collaboration is approximately $180. In contrast, boutique shops in Europe and secondary market sellers in Belgium are listing these for over €320. Even with the current exchange rates in May 2026, the price difference is over €120. I realized that by using a freight forwarder, I could keep more money in my pocket while still getting the exact pair I wanted. We often assume that shipping across the Atlantic is too expensive, but when the price gap is this wide, the math works in my favor.

My process for buying from US boutiques

Since Bodega often restricts shipping to US addresses for their high-heat collaborations, I used my comGateway account to secure a tax-free US address in Oregon. This allowed me to purchase the shoes from the US store as if I were living there. I simply entered my US warehouse address at checkout. Once the shoes arrived at the warehouse, I used the international shipping service to have them forwarded to my home in Belgium. This method is the only reliable way I have found to bypass regional shipping restrictions on exclusive drops. If you are new to this, you can check the FAQ on their site to see how the address system works.

Shipping estimates for the sneakers

I want to share the logistics data I found so you can plan your own purchase. Based on my experience with New Balance 9060 boxes, here are the estimates for this specific item:

I always use the shipping calculator before I commit to a purchase. It helps me see the total landed cost so there are no surprises when the box arrives at my door.

What I learned about Belgium import taxes

I have to account for the Belgian customs process. In 2026, importing goods from outside the EU means I am responsible for VAT and potentially import duties depending on the total value of the shipment. I make sure to factor these costs into my budget. I found it very helpful to read a guide on GST/VAT to understand how the Belgian customs authorities calculate the fees based on the declared value of the sneakers. Even after paying these taxes, I still saved a significant amount compared to buying the pair from a local reseller who has already factored those costs (plus their own profit margin) into the price.
