Courir has chosen Dubai to consolidate its retail presence in the Middle East. Marking its debut in the UAE, the French sneaker retailer opened inside Dubai's Mall of the Emirates, a shopping hub that attracts 75 million visitors each year.

The new store serves as Courir's 27th location outside its native France. The sneaker brand was recently acquired by European investment firm Equistone, which bought it from Go Sport.

The new Dubai retail shop is designed in Courir's latest "Wood" retail design and is located alongside Go Sport and covers 117 square meters.

Founded in 1980, the men's and women's sneaker retailer operates 280 stores worldwide with some 30 points of sale overseas.
