History
The company was founded in 2003 in Novosibirsk.[3]
In March 2007, a project was launched in several Novosibirsk stores of the company: customers could take an interest-free loan for 3–5 months to buy shoes, but the purchase had to be more than 3000 rubles, and as a result, sales in the shops grew by 15% in three months.[4]
In 2010, the firm has signed a one-year advertising contract with singer Valeriya.[5]
In 2015, Obuv Rossii bought the S-TEP, a Novosibirsk shoe company, which owned a shoe factory in Berdsk.[6][7]
In November 2020, the company decided to change the name Obuv Rossii to OR Group; it also decided to go beyond the fashion segment and become a universal retailer developing a trading platform and online marketplace under the brand name Prodayom.[8]
In July 2025, the company was declared bankrupt by the Moscow Arbitration Court.[9]
