"JD Sports Fashion has proposed to buy American athletic fashion retailer Hibbett Inc for about $1.08 billion, the companies said on Tuesday, as Britain's biggest sportswear retailer looks to expand across the southeastern U.S. The deal comes as shares in athletic clothing retailers come under pressure globally after weak outlooks from sports apparel makers such as Nike and Puma. Last month JD's U.S. rival Foot Locker also warned on 2024 profits, though Adidas last week hiked its 2024 forecast on strong demand for the German sportswear giant's sneakers. JD Sports, which sells Nike, adidas, HOKA and other sports brands, said last month it expects the Euro soccer championships, Paris Olympics and new styles of trainers and track suits would spark life into the lacklustre market." #JDSports #hibbett #retail #finance #mergersandacquisitions #financialservices #corporatefinance #equipmentfinance #equipmentleasing https://lnkd.in/e2ZGCKrH

🏸 It’s no secret that athleisure and sportswear brands have witnessed notable growth in recent years, largely thanks to an increased interest in outdoor activities, like pickleball and tennis, post-pandemic. 🏃♀️ However, research shows there is still a large untapped opportunity in women’s sportswear. 👩 Some experts are anticipating the Olympics to help close this gap, thanks to the high profiles of female athletes such as gymnast Simone Biles and the fact that the Games have achieved gender parity for the first time in Olympic history this year. ➡ Head to Inside Retail US Retail to find out more! #insideretail #retailnews #olympics #sportswear #apparel #shopper #consumer #ecommerce #femaleathlete #linkedin #editorial

👟 On Running: An Impressive Story of Brand Growth If you looked at On five years ago, you would have seen it as a high quality, but niche running shoe brand. It all changed in 2019 when Roger Federer became a shareholder and the brand started co-creating shoes with the tennis legend. Not only did On leverage Roger's feedback in their designs, but he helped tell a new story with the brand that became more global, sophisticated, and desirable. On's growth has continued to reach new heights, culminating in the latest success of 2024, where the brand reported 20% YoY growth in Q3. On has become increasingly conscious about how they approach brand building and storytelling. Working with Zendaya, On hits a broader segment of pop culture and builds appeal within female audiences. Working with Loewe, On is able to highlight their craftsmanship and associate themselves with luxury fashion. This has worked hand in hand with On's new apparel segment, which is a major focus for the coming year. Releasing apparel gives On the right to play in the broader sportswear and fitness space, expanding their product base and share of wallet. All of these conscious decisions have put On in a solid place that positions themselves as a high quality, trendy, and unique brand across both footwear and now sportswear. #onrunning #sneakers #shoes #footwear #design #marketing #advertising

When it comes to custom-made baseball uniforms and sportswear, finding the right manufacturer can make all the difference. ⚾️ Over the years, I’ve collaborated with several manufacturers, but one stands out for their exceptional quality and attention to detail. Their expertise not only meets but often exceeds expectations, making them the go-to choice for custom sportswear. Why Custom-Made Matters Custom-made uniforms are not just about looking good on the field; they’re about performance and comfort. When players feel confident in their gear, it translates to better performance. From breathable fabrics to precise stitching, every element counts. My Experience A few seasons ago, our team decided to upgrade our uniforms. We wanted something unique that represented our team spirit and identity. After extensive research and recommendations, we partnered with a leading sportswear manufacturer. From the first consultation, their commitment to understanding our needs was evident. They provided samples of materials, helped with design tweaks, and ensured every piece was tailored to perfection. The end result? A set of uniforms that not only looked fantastic but also provided unparalleled comfort and durability. Key Features to Look For Quality of Materials: High-performance fabrics that wick moisture and allow breathability. Customization Options: The ability to personalize colors, logos, and player names/numbers. Durability: Strong stitching and materials that withstand the rigors of the sport. Customer Service: Responsive and knowledgeable support throughout the process. Turnaround Time: Timely delivery without compromising on quality. Our new uniforms had a significant impact. The players felt more united and motivated, and the compliments from fans and other teams poured in. It was clear that investing in high-quality custom sportswear was a game-changer. 💬 Have you had a positive experience with custom sportswear?

Gear up for the next sporting showdowns! The spotlight may be on the upcoming UEFA Euro in Germany, but the real game-changer lies ahead with the Paris Olympics from late July to August. Footwear brands are gearing up with new official national team jerseys and a lineup of bespoke products for the 2024 mega sports events, aiming to shake up sales in a market that's currently holding steady but facing inventory challenges.

While consumer confidence remains shaky globally, there are glimmers of improvement, especially with the boost expected from Euro 2024 and the Olympics. With brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma adjusting strategies and product launches, there's anticipation for a market uptick. The game plan? Innovative product launches, cleaner inventory management, and a strategic focus on high-margin items are key to driving growth.

Adidas hit the big time in 1936, when Jesse Owens won four Olympic golds wearing their shoes. This put Adidas on the global map. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, Adidas became the go-to brand for top athletes, dominating the world of sports. From the FIFA World Cup to the Olympics, Adidas has been part of countless iconic sports moments. Some of their iconic shoes are the Stan Smith, Superstar, Ultraboost, and Yeezy. Did you know the Stan Smith alone has sold over 50 million pairs? And those three stripes? Originally added for stability, now they've become a global symbol of style and performance. Today, Adidas earns 55% of its total revenue from footwear, 38% from apparel, and 7% from accessories. From a small-town workshop to a $25 billion powerhouse, Adidas proves that 'impossible is nothing. #Adidas #AdidasOriginals #ThreeStripes #StanSmith #Superstar #Ultraboost #Yeezy #SportsHistory #AthleticPerformance #GlobalIcon #FIFA #Olympics #ImpossibleIsNothing #Sportswear #Sneakerheads
