The Shoe Industry
The shoe industry is one of the biggest moneymakers in the market, but it's facing many changes, rushes, and difficulties. The big power in the industry is
Nike inc. which all the other companies are trying to be like. Some changes are the industry as a whole is moving there factories to the far east such as China.
The reason for this is they are trying to save costs for producing there shoes by paying there workers less because they are in the far east. Nike and Reebok have already been in the east. The shoe industry not including Nike inc. is trying to make rushes to be number one, two, and three. Another rush the industry is making, is the rush for the deadline of sports shoes. In other words coming up with shoes for the sports that are in season. The difficulties the shoe industry has are making shoes that all people wear such as setting a style for both inner city people and suburb people. Another difficulty the shoe industry has is getting its stock value to rise again because all but Nike and Fila's stock has dropped. This is what the shoe industry is all about and the difficulties, problems, and advances it has.
There are four major companies in the shoe industry. The dominant industry is Nike inc.. Then going down the line is Reebok, Fila, and Adidas. Nike being the superpower has been in front of all the other industries for many years.
Right now Reebok is the closest company to Nike and is $2,459 behind in value in MIL. Nike's earnings in the last quarter leaped 24% which has pleased Wall
Street investors. With such earnings Nike announced a 2-to-1 stock split, its second in many years. Nike and Reebok are far ahead than the other companies because there factories are already in the far east, and other companies are just starting to build them. With Nike's earnings so high it'll be very hard for any of the companies to take over the number one spot. Also, it'll be hard to get the people's support in there products because most people have faith in
Nike. Reebok number two in the industry is facing many problems. First, there is friction between the management spots for Reebok. Second, Reebok is having difficulty finding sports stars to endorse there products. Finally, Reebok's stock has dropped and is still dropping. The reason for this is the people do not prefer the shoes in how they look and how comfortable they are.
Nike generally has the largest earnings and highest gains to its share holders among all their American competitors (excluding adidas which is a German corporation). Nikes rising popularity creates a major stock demand and trade because it is one of the best performing mega-cap stocks rising 700%. Nikes Profit margins has expanded to 45% which which gives them and opportunity to
I think Nike has been in the lead for a long time just because people are more aware of Nike.
There is only one way to describe Nikes financial position, that is strong and grew from a five hundred dollar idea to a billion dollar industry. Nike is known everywhere and its products are distributed worldwide, its geographies include North America, Western Europe, and Japan, NIKE expects to generate average annual growth at a high single digit rate for the four-year period from fiscal 2014. The Company expects North America and Western Europe to reach over $14 billion and $6 billion, respectively, by fiscal year 2017. In its developing geographies in Greater China, Central & Eastern Europe, and Emerging Markets, the Company stated it expects to grow at a low double-digit average annual growth rate.

In the mock press release create by “The Onion”, the new shoe insert Magnasoles are described as being set apart from all other shoe inserts by the pseudoscience that the sole imploys. The new soles are being marketed as having magical powers are curing peoples injuries and changing the ways that people are walking. The writers of the press release use falsified ethos and claims in order to show the public how gullible consumers are becoming.
Nike, the cost for a certain logo on your clothing, this might be worth it for some while for others, not even a chance. Nike is known worldwide for their athletic clothing and shoes. But is the price of a 20 dollar headband or a 200 dollar pair of shoes with it for you?
Nike knows how the game is played they have been a large competitor in the market for a long time. Where as Under Armour began its business in the late 90’s, coming into the game with little resources under a significant goal to make. As the CEO and founder of Under Armour, Kevin Plank says, “Boy there’s a lot of talk out there.” He was talking about a large tweet that had been going around saying that Under Armour was going to sell to Nike. According to Daniel Roberts a reporter at Cable News Network (CNN) that the enormous $21-billion-in-sales Nike, was going to buy the $1.4 billion lower competitor Under Armour. Now just look at those numbers for a second and ask yourself, which company looks more successful. Nike has the potential to wipe Under Armour off the face of the market; Nike has also spread to a variety packed market.
The creators of Nike Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman began in 1964, they used be name Blue Ribbon Sports. Little be known an athlete and track coach at University of Oregon would be on their way to create one of the most well known athletic brands today. At first, they began as an athletic Japanese shoe supplier and then eventually became what we know now as Nike. To this day they are the main supplier of athletic clothing, shoes, accessories today!

The corporation should invest more money in research and innovation since this is what has helped them to make a product that rivals their competitors. At the same time, it is imperative for them to improve their machinery for cheap labor costs which will help the company increase its production allowing it to meet the demand in the market. By improving production leading to lower costs of making shoes, apparel, and equipment, Nike will achieve higher demand assuming a quality product is maintained in that process. They will stand a better chance of competing in the industry (Hill, 2009). The organization is already in a better position for meeting the demand, customer taste, and needs. The company should improve quality by focusing on developing lightweight products that are more durable compared to those offered by the competitors. Also, Nike can keep up their success by continuing to reinvent and improve their items and continue to meet the current demand by using new technology. It can also use the Internet to communicate with consumers (Hill, 2009). By developing new technology, Nike will allow the customers to suggest and design their shoes online. To achieve this goal, it is fundamental to enhance areas such as their website to make it more user-friendly. Finally, the company should pay attention to small startup organizations that enter the
Just as it says in the text, Nike is predestined to be the front-runner in the industry. After all, the company is named after the Greek goddess of victory!

Perhaps it was originally intended to protect one's feet from the elements but today the shoe has evolved from its practical origins to grandiose heights, and at the highest level is of course, the high heel.
