Stockholm sneaker specialist founded in 1999 by Erik Fagerlind and Peter Jansson; filed for bankruptcy/restructuring in January 2025, closing its US and Japan stores while its Berlin, London and Paris shops continued trading.
Best for Sneaker retail, collaborations
Sneakersnstuff was founded in Stockholm's Sodermalm district on March 26, 1999, by childhood friends Erik Fagerlind and Peter Jansson, who had been making sneaker-hunting trips to the US to bring back styles unavailable in Sweden. A web shop followed within months, and the business grew into a globally recognized specialist retailer with stores in Stockholm, Paris, Berlin, London and New York. More recently the company has been in financial distress: reporting in January 2025 described SNS filing for bankruptcy/restructuring, laying off staff and closing its US and Japan operations. Coverage framed it as a financial restructuring rather than a full shutdown, with the Berlin, London and Paris stores and the online storefront continuing to operate.

Sneakers are made and crafted in Italy, using locally sourced materials including classic Margom rubber soles and premium calf leather.

Tretorn was established in Helsingborg, Sweden in 1891, initially manufacturing rubber galoshes for farmers dealing with harsh weather and inadequate footwear. Henry Dunker, son of the founding owner, joined as the company's first salesman and pushed for functional rubber shoes made from a patented rubber compound, Dunker Gummi; the company produced almost 250,000 pairs in its first two years and one million pairs by 1896. It added canvas shoes with rubber soles, along with tennis balls, hoses and bike pedals, by 1902. Tretorn released its Nylite tennis shoe in 1967, later described as the world's first luxury tennis sneaker and worn by professional players as well as becoming a preppy style staple. While the US market associates Tretorn chiefly with tennis, in Europe and the UK the brand is equally known for rubber boots and wellingtons.
