About
SHORT RUN
SHORT RUN is a sneaker and apparel store based in Germany, trading since 2021 and shipping across the European Union. We work to a tight selection rather than a broad catalogue. Every piece is chosen deliberately, bought individually and inspected before it is listed — which is why sizes are finite, and why a size that sells out is genuinely gone.
Sourcing. Stock comes from three routes: retail releases bought on release day, private sellers dealing with us directly, and trades with contacts we have worked with for years. We do not buy bulk lots or pallets from suppliers we cannot name. Every piece has a traceable origin.
Verification.Every item passes through our hands before it goes online. We match the box label to the shoe — style code, colourway, size, production date — then check the stitching at toe and heel, the glue lines and shape of the sole unit, the insole print, and the weave and placement of the tongue label. Where we hold a retail pair, we compare side by side. Anything we cannot settle is not listed. We would rather lose the sale than guess.
Fulfilment. Orders ship from our own space in Germany, not a third-party warehouse. Dispatched within two business days, tracked across the EU, with the original box packed inside an outer carton so it arrives as it left us.
Pricing and returns.One price in every country we ship to, VAT included, with a proper invoice on every order. Fourteen days to return without giving a reason, as EU law requires — and separate from any goodwill we extend beyond that.
