Vienna is a good city to shop with a clear idea of what you want from a pair. This shortlist covers four different approaches: running-shoe advice at RUNINC, sneakers and streetwear at solebox, skate and board-sports style at Blue Tomato, and an adidas Brand Center. The appeal of each is different, so start with your interests rather than trying to turn every stop into a hunt for limited releases.
For planning, separate the Salzgries and Jasomirgottstraße addresses in the city center from the Neubaugasse and Mariahilferstraße shopping area. The sources were reviewed on November 8, 2026. Read the specific checks below before making a special trip to solebox or the adidas location.
RUNINC · Salzgries 3
RUNINC is the specialist to consider when you want shoes to run in. Its published footwear selection includes ASICS, New Balance, Salomon, Saucony, Brooks, Puma, adidas, and On. That makes it useful for comparing fit across brands rather than choosing a pair only because you already know the name. The RUNINC store page describes its running-shoe advice and dynamic Footscan analysis.
Bring a clear picture of your running: the surfaces you use, how often you run, and what feels comfortable or awkward in your current shoes. Ask which options suit that use, and allow time to try more than one. If you want a fitting or analysis, check availability and any appointment requirements with the store first.
Address: Salzgries 3, 1010 Vienna, Austria. Published hours are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. RUNINC points public-transit visitors to Schwedenplatz on the U1 and U4 lines.
solebox · Jasomirgottstraße 6
solebox brings the boutique side of sneaker culture to this selection. Its Vienna store page describes a mix of Nike, adidas, Puma, ASICS, New Balance, and Daily Paper. It is a useful store to consider if you like seeing footwear alongside streetwear and comparing different brands’ approach to shape, color, and materials.
The Vienna concept also gives the store a local point of view: a gallery space upstairs and the retail area below. That connection between art and sneakers is part of the shop’s identity, not just a backdrop for products. Browse it as a multibrand selection, while checking any specific launch through solebox’s current release information.
Address: Jasomirgottstraße 6, 1010 Vienna, Austria. Confirm before traveling: solebox’s own page publishes Monday–Wednesday, 10 a.m.–7 p.m.; Thursday–Friday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Vienna’s WKO directory also lists the shop, but a separate sneaker directory labels it permanently closed. The conflicting entry does not establish a closure. Confirm current operation directly with solebox before building your day around it.
Blue Tomato · Neubaugasse 3
Blue Tomato’s Neubaugasse shop is the skate- and board-sports-led option here. Its official shop information names brands including Vans, Nike SB, adidas Skateboarding, Volcom, and Thrasher, alongside snow, surf, and skate categories. For a sneaker fan, the draw is footwear in the context of the activities and clothing that shaped the look.
If you plan to skate in the shoes, say so before choosing. Board feel, cushioning, and the materials around high-wear areas matter differently than they do for a pair bought mainly for casual wear. The shop’s brand list is a starting point for browsing, not confirmation of a particular Nike SB release or size.
Address: Neubaugasse 3, 1070 Vienna, Austria, by the Mariahilferstraße shopping area. Blue Tomato’s published hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This is the Neubaugasse location, separate from Blue Tomato on Rotenturmstraße.
adidas Brand Center · Mariahilferstraße 71
The adidas Brand Center at Mariahilferstraße 71 adds a broad single-brand stop to the area. The local shopping-street association reported its opening on July 17, 2025, with two retail floors and a mix of performance categories and adidas Originals. For someone interested in both sport and everyday sneaker style, that is a useful distinction from a running-only specialist.
The opening report from the Mariahilfer Straße business association describes running, training, soccer, and outdoor clothing on the performance side, with Originals and other lifestyle ranges alongside them. Treat that as the store’s documented concept at opening. Ask the branch about the particular collection or shoe you want now.
There is a worthwhile Vienna-specific design detail, too: the Trefoil Sphere installation by local studio ante up reinterprets the Vienna Secession’s dome using the adidas Trefoil. It connects the brand to the city’s art history, giving design-minded sneaker fans something more specific to look for than another shoe wall.
The studio’s Trefoil Sphere project page explains the idea behind the installation. Address: Mariahilferstraße 71, 1060 Vienna, Austria. Check before a special trip: the adidas branch link leads to a general store finder rather than current details for this address. Confirm that the store is operating and ask for its hours.
A practical first choice is RUNINC if fit and running are your priority, or Blue Tomato if skate footwear and streetwear are the draw. Add solebox after resolving its listing conflict. The adidas address pairs naturally with a Neubaugasse-area shopping plan once you have checked the branch’s current details.
Before visiting
Take your usual size as a starting point, but try the actual model and state whether your reference is US men’s, US women’s, UK, or EU sizing. Compare the final price in euros, ask about in-store exchanges and returns before paying, and keep the receipt. For limited releases, confirm the exact model, participating location, and sale process instead of assuming a web listing means walk-in availability.
Frequently asked questions
- Which Vienna store is best for running-shoe advice?

- Where should I look for sneakers and streetwear?
- solebox is the boutique option, with a published mix of sneaker and streetwear brands, but confirm that the Vienna branch is operating because its listings conflict. Blue Tomato is the alternative here for a skate- and board-sports perspective, including brands such as Vans and adidas Skateboarding.
- Can I combine these stores in one shopping route?
- Think in two groups: RUNINC and solebox have city-center addresses, while Blue Tomato Neubaugasse and the adidas Brand Center belong to the Mariahilferstraße area. Check current branch details and the route before deciding how many stops fit your day.
- Can I assume the shops are open on Sunday?
- No Sunday opening is confirmed in this guide. The published schedules reviewed for RUNINC, solebox, and Blue Tomato cover Monday through Saturday. Check the exact branch for Sundays, public holidays, and any special opening arrangements.
A quick note before you go: Stores evolve, and the sneakers in these photos may be long gone. Enjoy the guide as a starting point, then check the location, hours, and any pair you have your eye on before making the trip. Some images are historical or edited, so the store may look different today.
