adidas has recently shared news of its continuous growth, thanks to the loyalty of its fans. According to The Wall Street Journal, the company announced its 2017 earnings saw a 16 percent increase. In documents released to the public, the sportswear brand drove $1.9 billion USD in online sales last year alone.
In specific, increases in e-commerce are attributed to the running category and selling power of adidas Originals in China and North America.
