Just a moment, securing your connection...

For those of us living in the United Arab Emirates, getting these locally is often a headache. Local retailers frequently have delayed launches, and when they do drop, the price tag is usually inflated by 40% or more compared to US retail. Resale apps are even worse, with prices often hitting $350 or more for popular sizes. By shopping directly from US retailers, you can often save $120 or more on a single pair.

Where to find US stock before they sell out

To get the best price, you need to hit the primary US retailers the moment they restock. Your best bets are the official New Balance US store, Kith, Bodega, and Concepts. These stores maintain the standard $200-$220 MSRP. The problem? Most of these shops do not offer direct shipping to the UAE, or if they do, the costs are astronomical.

The workaround that most collectors in the UAE use is a tax-free us address. This allows you to checkout on US websites as if you were living in Oregon, avoiding US sales tax entirely. From there, you can have your 990v7 sent to a freight forwarder who specializes in getting packages to the Middle East quickly.

The fastest way to ship your 990v7 to the UAE

If you want to be the first person in your group chat wearing these, you need a logistics partner that understands speed. Using comGateway is the standard move here. They provide a streamlined way to shop us store sites and get your goods delivered to Dubai or Abu Dhabi in just a few business days.

To see how the costs break down, you should use the shipping calculator. This tool helps you plan your budget by accounting for weight and destination. You can also compare different international shipping rates to decide if you want the express service or a slightly more economical option.

Shipping Estimates for your sneaker box

When planning your purchase, it helps to know exactly what the package looks like. Based on previous 'Made in USA' releases and the updated 2026 packaging, here is what you can expect:

Before you finalize your order, make sure your items aren't on the prohibited items list. While sneakers are always safe, some cleaning kits that contain pressurized aerosols might be restricted.

Dealing with UAE customs and import tax

The UAE has specific rules regarding import duties. Currently, in 2026, most personal shipments with a value under 1000 AED may be exempt from heavy duties, but you will still likely need to pay the standard 5% VAT. If your total order (including shipping) exceeds 1000 AED, you should be prepared for additional customs tax fees.

Checking the current international shipping fees ahead of time ensures there are no surprises when the courier reaches your door. Most forwarders will handle the customs clearance for you, which is the fastest way to get your sneakers out of the airport and onto your feet.
