The Q1 results show that there is a tight fight between Adidas andNike, where in our case Nike wins with !"over A#i#$s%s 1"&
This result shows that Adidas still has to work on its promotion, newdesigns, and attractiveness to young people. This survey shows thatbasically Adidas and Nike are two strongest brands.

or*aniation+ Adidas Shoes is stron* at research and de%elo#ment, as is
e%idenced by its e%ol%in* and inno%ati%e #roduct ran*e+ They then

mo%e #roduction+ Adidas Shoes is a *lobal brand+ It is the number one
s#orts brand in the Gorld+ Its famous S)oosh is instantly reco*niable,
and hil Cni*ht e%en has it tattooed on his an'le+
Gea'ness
The ma!or )ea'ness in the Adidas is that the manufacturin* of the
#roducts of Adidas is not done in India itself it is bein* im#ort hence thecost become hi*h
and the mar*in of #ro6t becomes lo) thatQs )hy com#any must *i%e a dee#
thou*ht on manufacturin* their #roducts in India+ Another ma!or )ea'ness
in the com#any is that it is not caterin* to all the se*ments )hich I ha%e
already discuss abo%e, If these t)o )ea'ness in the com#any can be
eradicated then the com#any may earn hi*h #ro6t and better mar'et
status+ The or*aniation does ha%e a di%ersi6ed ran*e of s#orts #roducts+
o)e%er, the income of the business is still hea%ily de#endent u#on its
8/12/2019 Comparative Study On Nike And Addidas Shoes
28/43
share of the foot )ear mar'et+ This may lea%e it %ulnerable if for any
reason its mar'et share erodes+
K##ortunities
Adidas does ha%e many #roducts for the urban se*ment or #oor #eo#le,
but there is hardly any #roduct or )e can say that there are no #roducts
for this se*ment+ India is more a rural country, in the total #o#ulation of
India ma!or #art of #o#ulation li%es in rural area and these #eo#le cannot
aFord the costly #roducts of the com#any li'e Adidas hence com#any
must tar*et this #articular se*ment they must introduce the shoes and
other #roduct accordin* to their demands+ And also #rice is one of the
ma!or factor )hich may in:uence this ty#e of se*ment hence com#any
should ma'e their #olicy accordin*ly+ om#any must also consider the
ra*e of #roducts as com#are to &i'e and "eebo'+ In my o#inion the
com#any must introduce more ra*e or more %ariety in the mar'et to
com#ete )ith their com#etitors and also the customers ha%e more choices
to choice the #roduct from+ roduct de%elo#ment oFers Adidas Shoes
many o##ortunities+ The brand is 6ercely defended by its o)ners )hom
truly belie%e that Adidas Shoes is not a fashion brand+ o)e%er, li'e it or
not, consumers that )ear Adidas Shoes #roduct do not al)ays buy it to
#artici#ate in s#ort+ Some )ould ar*ue that in youth culture es#ecially,
Adidas Shoes is a fashion brand+ This creates its o)n o##ortunities, since
#roduct could become unfashionable before it )ears out i+e+ consumers
need to re#lace shoes+ There is also the o##ortunity to de%elo# #roducts
such as s#ort )ear, sun*lasses and !e)ellery+ Such hi*h %alue items do
tend to ha%e associated )ith them, hi*h #ro6ts+ The business could also
be de%elo#ed internationally, buildin* u#on its stron* *lobal brand
reco*nition+ There are many mar'ets that ha%e the dis#osable income tos#end on hi*h %alue s#orts *oods+ or e4am#le, emer*in* mar'ets such
as hina and India ha%e a ne) richer *eneration of consumers+ There are
also *lobal mar'etin* e%ents that can be utilied to su##ort the brand
such as the Gorld u# >soccer and The Klym#ics+
Threats
Adidas does not ha%e stron* distribution net)or' as com#are to &i'e and
"eebo' in India+ &i'e has more number of retail outlet then Adidas and
"eebo' has a uniue distribution net)or', the com#any "eebo' not onlyuse its outlet for the
8/12/2019 Comparative Study On Nike And Addidas Shoes

sale of their #roduct but also use some other shoes com#any outlet li'e $Bata(+ In
a Bata sho)room u can 6nd "eebo' shoes and other #roducts+ But this is
not a case )ith Adidas hence "eebo' has an e4tra ad%anta*e o%er Adidas+
Adidas Shoes is e4#osed to the international nature of trade+ It buys and
sells indiFerent currencies and so costs and mar*ins are not stable o%er
lon* #eriods of time+ Such an e4#osure could mean that Adidas Shoes
may be manufacturin* andZor sellin* at a loss+ This is an issue that faces
all *lobal brands+
The mar'et for s#orts shoes and *arments is %ery com#etiti%e+ The model
de%elo#ed by hil Cni*ht in his Stamford Business School days >hi*h %aluebranded #roduct manufactured at a lo) cost is no) commonly used and
to an e4tent is no lon*er a basis for sustainable com#etiti%e ad%anta*e+

Shoes=
mar'et share+ As discussed abo%e in )ea'nesses, the retail sector is
becomin* #rice com#etiti%e+ This ultimately means that consumers are
sho##in* around for a better deal+ So if one store char*es a #rice for a
#air of s#orts shoes, the consumer could *o to the store alon* the streetto com#are #rices for the e4actly the same item, and buy the chea#er of
the t)o+ Such consumer #rice sensiti%ity is a #otential e4ternal threat to
Adidas Shoes+ If you ha%e a body, you are an athlete - Bill Bo)erman said
this cou#le of decades a*o+ The *uy )as ri*ht+ It de6nes ho) he %ie)ed
