        Revenues grow

        10%

        currency-neutral and 4% in euro terms in Q2 2018

        Thu, 09 August 18

        Currency-neutral sales increase 10% in Q2 2018

        In the second quarter, adidas currency-neutral revenues increased 10%. Revenues at the adidas brand increased 12%, driven by double-digit growth in Sport Performance, on the back of double-digit growth in the training, running and football categories, as well as high-single-digit growth in Sport Inspired. Revenues at the Reebok brand decreased 3% as growth in Classics was more than offset by declines in the training and running categories. While revenues in the wholesale channel increased at a high-single-digit rate, direct-to-consumer sales rose at a double-digit rate with strong support from e-commerce, where revenues grew 26% in the quarter. In euro terms, the company’s sales were up 4% in the second quarter to € 5.261 billion (2017: € 5.038 billion).

        We delivered another strong quarter on the back of a successful World Cup activation. Our profitable growth was once again driven by our strategic focus areas North America, Greater China and e-commerce.

        We had a successful start to the year that was fully in line with our expectations: Our high-quality top-line growth was driven by our strategic focus areas North America, Greater China and e-commerce.

        We already have shoes made out of trash from adidas, so why not footwear made out of corn from Reebok?

        The global footwear and apparel firm this week launched its first shoe that’s “made from things that grow.” The stylish-looking sustainable sneaker features a woven upper made entirely from organic cotton, a base originating from industrial-grown corn, and an insole made using castor bean oil. No dyes have been used to color the shoes, either, and the packaging is 100-percent recyclable.

        Reebok debuts a shape-shifting, NASA-inspired sports bra

        A Reebok designer invented a new fabric that stiffens when you’re moving and relaxes when you’re still. No more feeling suffocated by your bra.

        (...)

        While the activewear industry floods the market with hundreds of different sports bras every season, research shows that most female consumers are unsatisfied with their sports bra options, and 1 in 5 women avoid exercise altogether because they don’t have a sports bra that fits them properly.

        Reebok wants to make that experience a thing of the past. Today, it launches a new bra, the PureMove, that adapts to your movements, tightening up when you’re moving fast and relaxing when you’re not. It deploys a radical new technology that has the potential to change not just what consumers expect from sports bras, but from the entire activewear industry.
