Puma Sees Girl’s Shoes Powerfully Increasing Sales

Though athletic shoe endorsements is primarily a man’s world, athletic shoe retailers are recognizing the importance of trying to attract female sports shoe purchasers to help their bottom line.

That our friends is a woman’s world. Welcome to their world and retailers would love to live in it.

As reported at CNBC, “Dick’s Sporting Goods might be best known as the place for a Little League Baseball coach to stop in for new gloves, a high-school basketball player to buy sneakers or an amateur golfer to pick up a new putter.

But the sporting goods retailer, now the last national player left standing and so a category killer in its industry, wants more women to shop there, realizing it’s always placed a bigger emphasis on men. To do this, it is making sure it has the products women are looking for.”

Very good financial decision.

An important product in their sales portfolio is Calia.

Calia, a women’s brand Dick’s Sporting Goods launched nearly five years ago is now the No. 2 women’s apparel brand in their stores, based upon sales.

The global shoe leader Puma speaks to the power of Calia through the image of a popular female singer. “Having made it to the top in the entertainment business, Selena Gomez is well aware of how to chase dreams – and there is no better companion than the most recent upgrade of the PUMA Cali sneaker. With an edgy, stacked sole and high-energy hues, PUMA Cali Chase lifts up your dreams without counting out style.”

You’re in great company if mega star Selena Gomez loves your product.

Puma continues, “In the same spirit of the original California shoe from 1980’s, the modern interpretation stays true to its white leather upper but features a modern twist through its progressive rubber tooling. This kick takes advantage of the large PUMA branding on the midsole whilst the bold neon-colored form strip adds point of excitement to the design.”

This is good news since many feel that female customers, and especially female athletes, are more sophisticated in their decision making because they like to shop across a variety of brands, rather than sticking with one favorite.

There are some famous female athletes who manufacturers are hoping will help influence those buying decisions.

As shared by the informative source hypebeast.com previous to the 2019 US Tennis Open, “Nike has unveiled Naomi Osaka‘s exclusive sacai look ahead of the US Open taking place in Flushing, Queens this week. Osaka, currently ranked the No. 1 player in the world, will be the first athlete to wear NikeCourt x sacai performance apparel. The Nike look, made in collaboration with Chitose Abe‘s sacai label, features a double-layer skirt atop a bodysuit, for a play on the classic tennis dress look.

The brand celebrated the collaboration with a pop-up entitled “Queens of the Future.” The event gathered top tennis players Markéta Vondroušová, Elina Svitolina, Madison Keys, Caroline Garcia, Aryna Sabalenka, Petra Kvitová, Simona Halep, Maria Sharapova, Sloane Stephens, Osaka and Serena Williams, all of whom wore Nike apparel.”
