SportsShoes.com has acquired 663,000 new customers and seen 749,000 orders from repeat customers, as it reports turnover of £90mn.
As part of its full year results, ending 29 February 2024, the online running gear retailer has witnessed an 11% jump in revenue.
SportsShoes.com credited its annual performance on successful running shoe launches from brands such as Asics, Hoka and Nike. Earlier this year, the etailer announced an exclusive retail partnership with community running event Parkrun.
“Our mission at SportsShoes.com is to help as many people as possible lead happier, healthier lives through running and fitness,” said Brett Bannister, SportsShoes.com managing director.
“Having this focus enables us to continually develop and improve our business for the benefit of our customers, brand partners and people.
“We are also growing our international sales, particularly in France, Germany, Spain and Italy, and feel there is a clear opportunity to establish a premium online retail brand in our space in Europe and beyond.”
The Bradford-based retailer offers customers more than 17,000 products from 150 global running and outdoor brands. It is also working to become the world’s most sustainable running equipment retailer by 2025.
Sports goods buyers lead in sustainable purchasing and, with vintage sportswear a growing market, are very keen on buying second-hand items, according to the newly published RetailX Global Sports Goods 2024 report.
