Under Armour has Nike shook

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

This.

UA has made huge strides in the apparel and clothing market. It has almost become the standard for sports 'gear'.

However, the profit margins for shoes is MUCH higher than it is for clothes. Especially basketball shoes- where you can con consumers into purchasing a new pair every year.

Which is why these companies will pay millions upon millions for shoe endorsements. One superstar athlete equates to almost 10 years of recurring revenue. But with shoes it all comes down to star power- and UA has very little of it. Curry & Spieth is very very very far away from Kobe/Bron/MJ/Tiger- even today.

I never considered this. Thanks

Under Armour came up really really quickly. They clearly have some great minds in key positions.

I bought a bunch of UA stock recently.

I'm so glad you just dropped this gem on me. It's been right in front of my eyes and I ain't do sh*t. The stock looks good, but it's already high at 85 and I'm not sure I can play the long game enough to get large gains (I fully expect them to be at 100 by this time next year).

Do you suggest that I purchase?

 

[keepemup]

Why so much loyalty to Nike? I mean their stuff looks better than other brands for the most part, but if it's hot it's hot.

And that T-Shirt is ill.

Rapidly approaching based on what?

What element of the UA business is rapidly gaining on Brand Jordan whose primary endorser hasn't played in 12 years?

UA is experiencing 40 percent year or year growth every quarter.

Shoe business is right now at 100 million. UA CEO wants it to be a billion in 10 years. If Curry continues to shine, this is something that is VERY realistic.

Durant may come under the UA fold very soon as well.

Lol at UA ever reaching the level of Nike or Adidas.

I'd rock FILA over UA.

NO one gives a fukk about your personal preferences idiot. Its about national and worldwide trends moron.

None of that qualifies are rapid approach. to Brand Jordan alone.

UA is eating up market share really fast, for a brand that has buttered its bread on clothing to make the impact it's made on shoes being a not even 20 year old company is extremely impressive. Also as you get farther from the Jordan era, kids are going to have less loyalty to the Jordan Brand and Nike in general. Don't get me wrong no one is dethroning Nike, but UA could very well be the next Reebok or something to that extent.

Doesn't seem to be the case. His prime year were before some of these kids were born and the $ is still rolling in. I mean what is it going to take a 15 more years?
