Sharjah’s sneaker shopping is easiest to plan by mall. City Centre Al Zahia has the broadest mix here, from Nike and adidas to the running specialist Runners. Sahara Centre groups three sportswear brands, Mega Mall adds adidas and Skechers, and City Centre Sharjah provides a confirmed New Balance outlet stop.
This guide covers 11 branches in four different malls, all in Sharjah. City Centre Al Zahia and City Centre Sharjah are separate destinations, so keep the full mall name in your directions.
Nike City Centre Al Zahia
Address: City Centre Al Zahia, Level 3, opposite 71 Steak, Sharjah.
Nike is the single-brand sportswear stop on Al Zahia’s third floor, with 71 Steak as the official location reference. Its own page lists 10 a.m.–10 p.m. Monday–Wednesday and 10 a.m.–midnight Thursday–Sunday.

adidas City Centre Al Zahia
Address: City Centre Al Zahia, Third Floor, Sharjah. Parking references: B / A.
adidas Al Zahia spans performance footwear, training clothing, and everyday sportswear. That mix makes it a useful companion to Nike on the same floor, while ACO downstairs adds a multibrand approach. The mall’s branch page does not publish its own weekly timetable.
Athlete’s Co (ACO), City Centre Al Zahia
Athlete’s Co, listed as ACO, focuses on footwear and accessories across sports-lifestyle labels. It sits on Al Zahia’s second floor, with parking zones D/J as the mall’s reference.
Operator Apparel Group’s portfolio includes Skechers, New Balance, adidas, Crocs, TOMS, UGG, Herschel, Lacoste, and ASICS. That breadth is the attraction: sneakers and casual footwear within a wider lifestyle selection. The portfolio describes the retailer, rather than a live inventory of this branch.
This space is associated with the operator’s October 2023 presentation; the photos themselves remain undated.
Address: City Centre Al Zahia, Second Floor, Sharjah. ACO’s mall location; Apparel Group’s retailer profile.
Nike Sahara Centre
Address: Sahara Centre, Ground Floor, Al Nahda, Sharjah.
Nike Sahara covers both sport and lifestyle footwear and clothing. Its regular schedule is Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–11 p.m., and Friday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–midnight, different from Nike Al Zahia’s weekly pattern.
PUMA Sahara Centre
Address: Sahara Centre, Ground Floor, East Atrium, Sharjah.
PUMA’s identity crosses sport and street culture, with soccer, running, training, basketball, and motorsport among the categories in its mall profile. It adds a different design heritage to Sahara’s Nike and adidas stops. Hours are Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–11 p.m., and Friday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–midnight.
adidas Mega Mall
adidas Mega Mall is on the first floor, confirmed by the mall’s current directory. It is a separate branch from adidas Al Zahia and Sahara Centre, in the Al Bu Daniq area on Al Istiqlal Street.
Its current outlet status is not confirmed. The directory lists adidas but does not describe an outlet format; older signage in the archive should not be taken as proof of today’s setup or pricing.
Address: Mega Mall, First Floor, Al Istiqlal Street, Al Bu Daniq, near the Immigration Office, Sharjah. adidas Mega Mall directory entry.

Under Armour Brand House City Centre Al Zahia
Under Armour’s Al Zahia Brand House is a performance-sportswear stop. The regional catalog covers running, training, and basketball, with collections including HeatGear, UA Vanish, Velociti, and Curry Brand. Those categories explain the brand’s direction without promising every line at this branch.
The brand’s locator gives unit B110A on the second floor and daily hours of 10 a.m.–10 p.m.
Address: City Centre Al Zahia, Second Floor, Unit B110A, Muwaileh, Sharjah. Under Armour branch directory.
Runners City Centre Al Zahia
Runners is the specialist option for road and trail footwear in this Al Zahia selection. Its UAE catalog brings together Brooks, ASICS, HOKA, On, Saucony, norda, and Altra, alongside running apparel and accessories.
This branch is on the third floor at B089. Hours are Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–10 p.m., and Friday–Sunday, 10 a.m.–midnight. The retailer’s website return banner concerns online orders, not a verified policy for counter purchases.
Address: City Centre Al Zahia, Third Floor, Unit B089, Muwaileh, Sharjah. Runners branch directory.
Sahara Centre and Mega Mall: more brands
adidas Sahara Centre
Sahara Centre lists this shop as adidas Emerging Markets. The mall’s opening announcement in September 2024 described footwear, sportswear, and accessories, adding a third major sports brand to the Sahara group in this guide.
The current branch listing confirms the ground floor and Monday–Thursday hours of 10 a.m.–11 p.m., with Friday–Sunday hours of 10 a.m.–midnight.
Address: Sahara Centre, Ground Floor, Al Nahda, Sharjah. adidas Sahara Centre listing.
Skechers Mega Mall
Skechers Mega Mall adds a family-oriented footwear option, with everyday and children’s styles central to its regional presentation. Apparel Group’s locator confirms the Mega Mall branch, so it can share a visit with adidas in the same building.
The operator’s page does not establish this branch’s floor or individual opening hours. Check those details with Mega Mall before a time-sensitive visit.
Address: Mega Mall, Al Istiqlal Street, Al Bu Daniq, Sharjah. Skechers regional profile and locations.
City Centre Sharjah: a fourth mall
New Balance Outlet City Centre Sharjah
New Balance Outlet is at City Centre Sharjah, not City Centre Al Zahia. The mall explicitly identifies the outlet format and describes athletic footwear and apparel, giving it a different role from the lifestyle multibrand shops elsewhere in the guide.
Use the first floor and Parking B as the location references. The listing does not establish a fixed discount or particular footwear line.
Address: City Centre Sharjah, First Floor, Al Wahda Street, Sharjah. New Balance Outlet listing.
Planning your visit
Choose Al Zahia for the widest mix in one building: major sports brands, ACO’s lifestyle selection, and Runners’ specialist focus. Sahara suits a Nike, PUMA, and adidas comparison. Mega Mall pairs adidas with Skechers, while City Centre Sharjah is the separate New Balance outlet destination. Regular hours here should not be treated as permanent Eid or Ramadan schedules.

Frequently asked questions

- No. The New Balance outlet is at City Centre Sharjah on Al Wahda Street. Nike, adidas, ACO, Under Armour, and Runners in the Al Zahia group are at a different mall.
