Just a moment, securing your connection...

For those of us living in Spain, getting a pair isn't just about the hype; it is about the hunt. Local boutiques in Madrid and Barcelona often receive very limited stock, and the prices they charge reflect that scarcity. If you want to secure your pair without being restricted by local availability, looking toward the US market is your best bet.

The price gap between the US and Spain

Buying the 990v7 directly from a US retailer is significantly more cost-effective than waiting for it to hit European shelves. In the US, the retail price remains competitive, whereas Spanish importers often add a massive premium that can easily add 30% or more to the total cost. By using a freight forwarder like comGateway, you can access a tax-free US address, allowing you to shop US store options just like a local resident would.

This approach bypasses the middleman entirely. Instead of paying the boutique tax, you are paying the genuine retail price. Even when you factor in the transit costs, the savings are usually enough to cover a good portion of your next sneaker purchase.

Setting up your US shopping strategy

Getting started is simpler than most people think. First, you need a reliable way to get your items from the US to your doorstep in Europe. You can find a how it works breakdown on the comGateway site that explains the process of receiving a dedicated US address to use at checkout. Once you have that address, you can shop at New Balance’s official US site or major retailers like KITH or Bodega.

For those worried about the transit, you can check the ship to Spain page for specific details on how long it takes for a package to reach regions like Andalusia or Catalonia. Most shipments arrive within a few business days once they leave the warehouse.

Shipping Estimates for sneakerheads

Before you hit the buy button, it is smart to have an idea of the logistics involved. Knowing the physical profile of the shoe box helps you use a shipping calculator more effectively.

Solving order cancellations with BuyForMe

One of the biggest headaches when trying to buy from the US is the dreaded order cancellation. Many US-based stores, including some major sneaker retailers and brands like Sephora or Nike, are notorious for blocking international credit cards. They might also flag orders that are sent to known forwarding addresses.

If you find that your Spanish credit card is being declined, you should look into proxy shopping. Through the BuyForMe service, also known as assisted purchase, a team in the US buys the item on your behalf using a domestic US payment method. This virtually eliminates the chance of your order being cancelled and ensures you don't miss out on limited 2026 drops like the 990v7 Grey/Silver.

Handling Spanish customs and taxes

When your 990v7 arrives in Spain, it will pass through customs. It is important to remember that you will likely be responsible for import duties and VAT. Spain typically applies a 21% VAT on imports from outside the EU. Check our guide on customs tax to understand how these fees are calculated so there are no surprises when your package arrives.

Even with these additional costs, the lower base price in the US and the lack of a local boutique markup usually mean you are still coming out ahead. Plus, you get the peace of mind knowing you have an authentic pair of 'Made in USA' New Balances that might not even be available in your local mall yet. Enjoy the 2026 comfort of the v7!
