Distribution is exclusively direct via russesport.com, with payment processing through BBVA TPV and PayPal, and customer support through WhatsApp, phone, and email.

The business model is product-led D2C e-commerce at unit prices of €6-€45, with free shipping for orders over €50 within the Spanish peninsula and extended (7-20 business day) delivery to the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, France, and Portugal. Customer segments include rhythmic and artistic gymnasts across skill levels, gymnastics clubs (which qualify for a separate discount program), trampoline athletes, and schools/beginners.

Direct peers

• Resilite Sports Products: US gymnastics mat and equipment manufacturer serving clubs, schools, and competition venues. Comparable as a gymnastics-focused specialist with a long heritage and B2B (club/federation) distribution.
• Tumbl Trak: US-based gymnastics and tumbling equipment specialist offering training aids, mats, and apparel. Comparable as a niche specialist brand serving gymnastics clubs and athletes through a direct e-commerce channel.
• GK Sportswear: One of the largest global gymnastics apparel brands, producing competition leotards, training wear, and accessories. Competes with Russé Sport's training-clothing and rhythmic gymnastics apparel lines, with a much broader catalog and international distribution.
• Norbert's Athletic Products: Long-standing US manufacturer and retailer of gymnastics grips, handguards, wrist protectors, and accessories. Directly overlaps with Russé's handguard/callera category, including competition- and beginner-level models.
• Aalba Dent: US gymnastics apparel and equipment retailer with deep roots in the rhythmic gymnastics community. Overlaps directly with Russé Sport's rhythmic gymnastics toe shoe and apparel categories and serves a similar athlete demographic.
• SASI: UK-based specialist manufacturer and retailer of gymnastics equipment, including grips/handguards, toe shoes, and apparel — a direct country-level analogue of Russé Sport's product mix, though with a broader international footprint.
• Gibson Athletic: US specialist retailer of gymnastics grips, handguards, apparel, and accessories for rhythmic and artistic gymnastics. Highly comparable product breadth (toe shoes, grips, apparel) and the same direct-to-consumer e-commerce go-to-market.

Broad incumbents

• Decathlon: Global sporting goods mass-market retailer that sells general gymnastics footwear, apparel, and accessories at lower price points. Represents the broad-incumbent threat that could commoditize entry-level toe shoes and apparel if it deepens its gymnastics assortment.
