The momentum of the three stripes continues to trend upward with another milestone for Adidas – the brand is now #2 in America.
Since slumping to the fourth position in 2013, Adidas’ growth has gold no signs of slowing down. The brand has reportedly passed Jordan Brand to become the second largest sneaker brand in the US market. The declaration was made today by long time respected industry analyst (and Kanye West skeptic) Matt Powell along with several other industry sales news.
Adidas has overtaken Jordan as the #2 brand in U.S. sport footwear. This is an achievement I never thought I would see in my lifetime.
