Nike Beats Profit Expectations in Q1, Delivers on Sales Guidance - 43分前  Footwear News

Nikeshares got a lift on Thursday afternoon after the athletic company beat earnings expectations for the first quarter in fiscal year 2024. The athletic giant reported Q1 revenues of $12.9 billion, up 2 percent compared to the prior year. This was in line with Nike’s previously issued guidance for Q1, which projected revenues between flat to up in the low single digits. It also was essentially in line with FactSet estimates, which expected sales of $13 billion. Nike’s net income was down 1 percent to $1.5 billion, with diluted earnings per share of 94 cents, which was up 1 percent ye...morear-over-year. This blew past FactSet estimates, which expected EPS of 76 cents for Q1. Nike shares were up more than 1 percent shortly after markets closed on Thursday. “Q1 offered proof of what Nike can deliver when we connect great innovation, great storytelling and great marketplace experiences to consumers,” said Nike president and CEO John Donahoe in a statement. “Moving forward, we are laser-focused on scaling these successes with greater consistency and speed as we continue to integrate and streamline our business. This is how we’ll extend our leadership position and drive growth over the long-term.” By channel, Nike direct revenues were up 6 percent to $5.4 billion, with growth seen across all geographies. Wholesale revenues were flat at $7 billion on a reported basis. Amid a retail industry in flux, market watchers were looking for Nike’s recovery progress in the two crucial regions of North America and China. Nike brand revenues grew 3 percent to $12.4 billion, driven by growth in EMEA, Greater China and APLA. Meanwhile, Nike brand revenues declined in North America in Q1. Converse revenues declined 9 percent to $588 million, in part due to a decline in North America sales. Q1 inventories were down 10 percent year-over-year to $8.7 billion. Nike’s gross margin took a hit in Q1 by 10 basis points due to higher product costs and foreign currency exchange headwinds, which was partially offset by “strategic pricing actions,” Nike said. Nike EVP and CFO Matthew Friend said in a statement that Nike’s results showed the “impact of staying on the offense over the past fiscal year.” He added, “With a healthy marketplace and another quarter of brand and business momentum, we are strengthening our foundation for sustainable, profitable, long-term growth.” In June,Nike said it expectsfiscal year 2024 revenues to grow in the mid-single digits, accounting for headwinds from wholesale shipping timing from the prior year. Nike did not immediately reaffirm or revise its outlook....

Nike’s been at the forefront of sneaker trends all year, whether for their Barbiecore pink colorways, stylish platform sneakers, or leading fall’s silver shoe obsession. But, while it’s true that the Swoosh is always one step ahead, time has proved that their basketball classics never go out of style. The heritage Nike Blazer style has been dominating digital style trends this year, as seen in its climbing TikTok search, with a viewership of over 423 million users. Nike’s caught on to the shoe’s demand by expanding their offerings with fresh metallic adornments, pastel Swooshes, playful patterns, and even an option to create your own custom colorway. The Blazer Mid style, in particular, is in the spotlight, as it’s emerged in new and exciting collaborations that unite athletes, internet personalities, designers, and musicians, including recent team-ups with skateboarders Mason Silva and Grant Taylor. Over recent years, Nike Blazer shoes have remained an under-the-radar staple in streetwear and celebrity outfits. Trendsetters from Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Vittoria Ceretti have all donned the minimalist sneaker in their model-off-duty style, while other style figures like Anne Hathaway and Lala Kent have opted for bold iterations with leopard print Swooshes. We saw Wiz Khalifa style his white Blazers with an all-black ensemble and a leather jacket, and Tia Mowry wore her black colorway with a comfy loungewear set and a sharp blazer in 2023.

(Photo by Raymond Hall/GC Images)GC Images It’s no surprise that everyone’s catching on to the Blazer hype, considering its fashionable appeal and everyday comfort. Its leather upper gives the shoe a luxe finish, while the basketball shoe silhouette allows it to work as a casual statement. Out of the range of Nike’s hottest trending shoes, the Blazer is one of the most affordable options, and its variety of colors and styles make it supremely accessible for tapping into your personal style.

Why Some Analysts Say Lululemon’s New Deal With Peloton Might Not Be a Game Changer for the Apparel Maker - 4時間前  Footwear News

Analysts were overall upbeat about the new strategic partnership Lululemon and Peloton inked on Wednesday, though some were more reserved on the deal’s potential for game changing wins for the apparel maker. Under the new five-year deal, the athleisure brand becomes the primary athletic apparel provider for the connected fitness company. Lululemon will also discontinue sales of its Mirror device by the end of the year as it turns to Peloton to become its exclusive provider of digital fitness content. On a broad level, analysts said the new deal represents wins for both parties and ...moreoffers certain strategic advantages. “Perhaps most importantly, it gets Lululemon out of the challenged at-home fitness business and digital fitness content creation,” said William Blair analyst Sharon Zackfia in a recent note. “The essential outsourcing of all fitness content to Peloton will end the distraction and likely modestly bolster profitability given ongoing expenses associated with the business.” Lululemon acquired Mirror, the home fitness startup that sells a wall-mounted machine for streaming workout classes, for $500 million in 2020. In 2022, Lululemon launched its Lululemon Studio platform, which offers more than 10,000 on-demand and live-streamed classes that had been available with a Mirror subscription. Now, Peloton will become the official digital fitness content provider for Lululemon Studio All-Access Members. Even with this benefit, Zackfia said she expects this deal to be “modestly beneficial to Lululemon in the near term” and sees the potential for brand awareness as a “longer-term wildcard.” On the Peloton side, UBS analyst Arpine Kocharyan also noted that it still remains to be seen if the new digital strategy will help convert more subscribers to the fitness platform. “Would co-branding and exposure to Peloton digital content drive meaningful conversion to connected fitness subs?” Kocharyan wrote. When it comes the apparel part of the deal, Peloton will benefit from its ability to “essentially outsource the apparel business,” Kocharyan wrote. But some analysts noted the potential for redundancies in both brands’ consumer bases. According to Wedbush analyst Tom Nikic, it is likely that many Peloton users already wear Lululemon attire. Jefferies analyst Randal Konik also called out this overlap as the basis for his view of the partnership as a “non-event.” “We view this partnership as immaterial to the company’s overall business performance, particularly due to our view that the typical Peloton customer likely already shops at Lululemon,” Konik said. “Therefore, we reiterate our view that Lululemon’s broader business performance and fundamentals could slow from here, primarily driven by the broader macro environment alongside more difficult YoY comparisons.”...

Bata Shoe Museum’s Latest Exhibit Will Focus on Consumerism and the Shoes of the 1980s - 1時間前  Footwear News

Toronto’s Bata Shoe Museum is set to open its latest large-scale exhibition in November, exploring the footwear of the 1980s. Through this new exhibit, the Canadian museum will examine consumerism and self-expression by surveying the very decade famous for its excess. Titled “Dressed to Impress: Footwear and Consumerism in the 1980s,” the retrospective will open to the public on Nov. 1 and will remain open until March 16, 2025. According to the museum, the exhibition will feature over 80 pairs of shoes in a gallery space set to transform into a 1980s-inspired shopping mall, taking visito...morers back in time to experience the full effect of the decade. The gallery will then be organized into six sections: Dressed for Success; Work Hard, Play Hard; Let’s Get Physical; Mainstream Rebels; Pump It Up; and Designer Highlights. Visitors to the retrospective can expect to see signature ‘80s shoes like the Nike Air Jordan 1 and the Reebok Freestyle Hi. By the end of the 1980s, Nike was one of the most successful producers of athletic footwear. Much of its success can be attributed to its new focus on basketball shoes and the signing of rookie Michael Jordan to the brand in 1984. The Reebok Freestyle Hi.Kailee Mandel As for Reebok, the brand was the most successful company to capitalize of the fast-growing aerobics shoe category in the ‘80s with the debut of the Freestyle in 1982. The original model was a high-top with two Velcro straps and glove-leather uppers that were designed for flexibility. The Freestyle became one of Reebok’s best sellers, turning them into one of the most profitable producers of athletic footwear in this decade. Other footwear highlights that will be on display are the Gucci horsebit loafers, frequently worn by Wall Street executives of the time; John Fluevog’s winklepickers, popular among “Goth” consumers; and Susan Bennis and Warren Edwards’ showstopping “Power” pumps. Susan Bennis and Warren Edwards “Power” pumps.Kailee Mandel “The 1980s was a fascinating decade, where personal style was closely linked to the pursuit of success,” Nishi Bassi, curator and exhibitions manager at Bata Shoe Museum, said in a statement. “This exhibition explores some of the biggest trends and brands of the decade, and how advertising encouraged consumption. Visitors are invited to come to the exhibition to experience joyful nostalgia, but also to think critically about how this decade continues to influence our consumer habits of today.” Throughout the exhibition’s run, the Bata Shoe Museum said it will host a variety of events tied to the show. Starting in 2024, the museum will launch an ‘80s classic film series along with more ‘80s-inspired workshops, talks and panel discussions. Gucci Horsebit loafers.Kailee Mandel...

New Balance Cooked Up an Excellent Halloween Sneaker for Its Skateboarding Line - 4時間前  Footwear News

Earlier this year, the New Balance Numeric skateboarding division launched the 417 as Franky Villani’s debut pro model. Now, with Halloween just over a month away, the sneaker is getting a Holiday-themed treatment that may just attract non-skaters as well. A black and orange color scheme sees the 417 leaning into Halloween, but not too heavily with the former color claiming most of the turf with contrast stitching. Orange trim sits beneath the collar and forms the “N” logo with yellow trim. It then repeats for the branding on the tongue and heel, the latter of which featu...moreres a menacing Jack-o’-Lantern and a retooled “NB#” logo embodying spooky season. A translucent outsole hosts an orange base with another Jack-‘o-Lantern, but there’s no hint of the flourish unless you’re looking directly at it. A final detail special for this release then arrives on the insole graphic, which features a full Jack-o’-lantern with green roots hosting Villani’s full name. Villani’s NB Numeric 417 boasts a classic look that doesn’t betray its recent arrival, from the vulcanized outsole to the Vans Half Cab-esque upper that makes use of canvas and mesh. Given the resemblance to one of Vans’ staple silhouettes, it’s likely that few would bat an eye if a non-skater donned the 417 — making this version an excellent choice for those who want to take their love of Halloween to their feet. The New Balance Numeric 417 is out now through the brand’s website for $95, with a full run of sizes still available.
