Apparel and footwear are two consumer goods categories where buyers’ decisions are influenced by a variety of circumstances. Footwear buyers make decisions based on a brand’s adaptability, comfort level, and stylistic qualities.
While customers are preoccupied with discovering new methods to appear and feel good about what they wear, there are some aspects that they are unaware of. Nike, for example, recently released Nike Fly leather, which is made up of at least 50% recycled natural fiber.
Growth Opportunities through New Sportsperson
Every region has seen considerable growth in the number of people who participate in sports. Sports equipment intended for specific sports and activities is required for aspiring athletes. There is an opportunity for footwear companies to specifically target these athletes as potential clients.
Furthermore, young athletes have been reported to be brand loyal, as they desire to be acknowledged as a user of a specific sports brand’s items.

This customer segment can also be targeted by partnering with academic institutions and sports academies.
