We, founded in Switzerland in 2010, sought to become the most upscale sports clothing brand on the market. It is one of the many companies that have taken part of Nike, especially in its race segment. The company draws a fraction of annual Nike sales, but it has acquired a reputation for innovation, a recent blow against the giant of inherited sneakers.
In a category of sneakers which has been relatively soft in recent years, has constantly increased sales to mid-double figures and which has even more room to develop given the weakness of its brand notoriety in certain parts of the world.
A key to the strategy was to balance direct sales via its own website and stores and sales via Wholesale. At a time when Nike moved away from wholesalers, and others filled this crucial platform space while increasing their store footprint and their digital income.
