Under Armour has overtaken Adidas this year in combined apparel and footwear sales to become the second biggest sports brand in the United States.
Baltimore-based Under Armour had U.S. apparel and footwear sales of $1.2 billion through the end of August, edging ahead of Adidas with $1.1 billion total U.S. sales, according to a Sterne Agee report citing sales figures from SportScanInfo. Under Armour sales have jumped 20 percent this year, while Adidas combined sales have plummeted 23 percent.

Here is the Nike and Reebok story.

Nike and Reebok at one point dominated the athletic wear market. Then Under Armor founded in 1996 got into the business. Today UA is the number 2 in Athletic wear sales.

Amazon delivery at some point will become threat. The writings on the wall push sales leads, EC packages that can't make service, so no refunds are done, ETC.

It may take take years to achive it. JB will find away to make it work.
UA created a product everyone wanted. Fashion is cyclical.

Did you know that Kmart, Target and Walmart were all started in 1962?

Using them as an example it's pretty easy to see which methodologies on price and service eventually leave a bad taste your mouth.

Remember the Amazon phone? How successful was that? That was Jeff's bid to take on the lucrative cell market including Apple. It failed badly.

Amazon is also trying to take on IBM,Apple and Google in the cloud storage business. Reviews are mixed but they aren't winning.

Amazon might want to consistently make a profit in their core business before they decide to put the shipping industry out of business. They don't have an air network and their distribution network is based on order fulfillment.

Let's see Jeff go up against ups/fedex when they've taken away his rates and exclusively partnered with his competition.

I'm sure ups corporate has been monitoring this and probably has a contingency plan. They're not going to let a 100 plus year business lose.

Yeah but Nike is still #1 and people still spend $120 on a pair of shoes instead of buying converse shoes for half the price. If being cheap was everything Publix would be out of business and Dollar General would have already taken over the world lol. There is plenty of business to go around and as a whole not all UPS employees make a lot of money 2/3rds of our work force is part time, there will always be jobs at UPS I am confident of that
