So who's buying Sketchers??? I don't see any elites wearing Sketchers and they the shoe engineering doesn't seem the best. Possibly all casual joggers and maybe some 17 min 5kers?
Also, I hope someone from a major shoe company is reading this....
Asics & New Balance - Your shoe designs are hideous. I mean they are terrible. Head of design for BOTH firms should be fired ASAP. Thinking about running in your shoes disgusts me.
Adidas - Your engineering sucks, and there's nothing special about your running shoes or your brand. Also, your spikes are exponentially heavier, across the board, than Nike.
Brooks - Decent design, decent engineering, overall decent. The main problem is you're about 5 years behind Nike on everything. Get some new talent inside the firm.
Hoka - You're irrelevant right now. Give us a reason to care.
Nike - They are doing everything right. However, they need to diversify and develop some stronger stability shoes and break the traditional mold of "everything neutral"
