adidas: Y-3 and Real Madrid present Matchwear Collection

The collection itself is highlighted by a purple 4th kit for both the Real Madrid Men’s and Women’s teams, constructed with moisture wicking HEAT.RDY technology to keep players feeling dry while performing on the biggest stage. Story and identity come together in the Matchwear kit through the colors of Real Madrid , where purple is a key shade within the club’s DNA. In addition to the 4th kit, the collection features two goalkeeper kits – one in black and one in orange – as well as a white pre-match selection including a top, a pair of shorts, and an anthem jacket.

From the pitch to the stands, Y-3 has also curated a selection of fanwear items, including a T-shirt, a hoodie, a cross body bag, a cap, and a scarf.

Alongside the collection, Y-3 and adidas are set to introduce a special edition Predator boot and Goalkeeper gloves.

Each of the jerseys are built to inspire a sense of pride and belonging, blending traditional elements with modern style to create something new for the next generation of players, including:

  • Introducing fresh symbols to traditional federation wear, such as the Belgium away kit which celebrates the nation’s rich art and design culture, specifically cartoonist, Hergé, and the comic character he is famously known for; Tintin. Inspired by Tintin’s iconic outfit, a royal nod is found on the back of the collar with a golden crown that glimmers against a bright blue backdrop  
  • Across the collection, a blend of dynamic shapes and colours express the jubilation and hope that fans and players share ahead of, and during, a major tournament

Each jersey includes either HEAT.RDY technology, optimized to keep players feeling comfortable, or AEROREADY technology, sweat-wicking or absorbent materials that keep players feeling dry. Lighter crests and additional mesh panels are also applied, helping improve airflow and comfort, to help players focus on the game at hand.

PrimaLoft erweitert Daunenalternativen-Sortiment

PrimaLoft, Inc. hat sein Portfolio an synthetischen Daunenalternativen um zwei neue Hochleistungsisolationen erweitert: PrimaLoft® Insulation ThermoPlume®+ und PrimaLoft® Insulation RISE Loose Fill.

ThermoPlume®+
PrimaLoft® ThermoPlume®+ ist eine synthetische Daunenalternative, die entwickelt wurde, um die Wärme, Bauschkraft, Weichheit und Kompressibilität von Daunen zu imitieren. Die Innovation kombiniert zwei einzigartige Faserformen, um den "Loft" und die Wärmeeigenschaften zu erhöhen. ThermoPlume®+ benötigt - verglichen mit der beliebten ThermoPlume® Technologie - ca. 20 % weniger Material, um dieselbe Bauschkraft zu erzeugen.

ThermoPlume®+ benötigt - verglichen mit der beliebten ThermoPlume® Technologie - ca. 20 % weniger Material, um dieselbe Bauschkraft zu erzeugen.

ThermoPlume®+ kombiniert die bestehende segelförmige Faserstruktur von ThermoPlume mit kugelförmigen Faserkugeln, um ein einheitliches strukturelles Netzwerk zu schaffen. Die Hohlräume zwischen den verschiedenen Formen erzeugen eine Art Gerüsteffekt, der das Gesamtvolumen erhöht, und so eine daunenähnliche Wärme bietet. Die langlebige Struktur hält mehrmaligen Wäschen und Abnutzung stand und trocknet schnell, was eine einfache Pflege ermöglicht, und fühlt sich gleichzeitig besonders weich an. PrimaLoft® ThermoPlume®+ Synthetikfasern  bieten eine Fluorcarbon-freie Wasserbeständigkeit und halten den Nutzer auch bei Nässe warm. Die Isolation besteht zu 100 % aus recyceltem Material.

PrimaLoft® RISE Loose Fill
Die PrimaLoft® RISE-Technologie wurde erstmals im Jahr 2020 eingeführt und erfreut sich aufgrund ihres Mix aus leichter Wärme und dauerhafter Druckfestigkeit in verschiedenen Stärken großer Beliebtheit. Mit RISE Loose Fill hat PrimaLoft diese Faserkonstruktion genutzt, um ein leistungsfähiges loses Produkt zu entwickeln. RISE Loose Fill wird zu 100 % aus recyceltem Material hergestellt und bietet eine Füllkraft von 650 Cuin für ein Höchstmaß an Stil, Wärme und Komfort.

Outdoor & Sport Marken wie adidas TERREX, Rab und Nike sind einige der ersten, die die neuen Innovationen in ihre Kollektionen für die Herbst/Winter Saison 2024 aufnehmen.

adidas: Study on effect of pressure in sports

Under adidas’ ambition to help athletes overcome high pressure moments in sport, it has teamed up with leading sport neuroscientists, neuro11, to understand the impact it has within a game of football, basketball, and golf during penalty shootouts, high-stake putts and must-make free-throws.

Working with Emiliano Martínez, Ludvig Åberg, Nneka Ogwumike, Rose Zhang, and Stina Blackstenius, as well as amateurs in the game, adidas and neuro11 delved into their minds to identify and analyse where pressure peaks, to help athletes across the globe to better understand it.

Understanding from this study that grassroots athletes and their elite counterparts experience similarly intense levels of pressure in the biggest sporting moments - but elite athletes were up to 40% more effective at managing pressure during these moments1 - a toolbox of techniques has been developed, built from the specific findings, to assist next-gen athletes in managing and overcoming the feeling within their game.

Covering in-depth detail on what pressure looks like within each sport, how it has been proven to impact specific in-game moments, the brain zones that neuro11’s state-of-the-art brain technology measures and the main insights from each athlete’s training session, each report sets out to support all athletes in accessing the optimal zone - the brain state in which they perform at their best.

Rounded off with science-backed tips that reveal the optimal area of a goal to strike a penalty, how to use time to regain focus before netting a free throw, as well as the impact of dwell time on putting in golf – the guides are shaped around enhancing mental focus during some of the most pressured moments across sport.

1 Findings captured during athlete training sessions, as part of adidas SS24 Brand Campaign, in collaboration with neuro11 (November ’23- January ’24). Study carried out with Emiliano Martínez, Ludvig Åberg, Nneka Ogwumike, Rose Zhang, and Stina Blackstenius, in addition to 5 grassroot athletes.

adidas unveils Tennis Collection with AIRCHILL Technology

adidas unveils its SS24 Melbourne collection to mark the start of the 2024 Grand Slam season. AIRCHILL technology – a first for adidas in tennis – works in tandem with HEAT.RDY material technology to support players performing in the heat of the moment.

AIRCHILL material technology supports cooling through thermally zoned, raised pattern motifs and mesh layers. The lightness of AIRCHILL helps skin breathe – deliberately placed in high sweat and evaporation zones – under the armpits, chest and back. The raised patterns and open mesh fabrics are designed to optimize airflow during high-intensity workouts and matches.

The 26-piece range for men and women also boasts a tranquil color palette and pattern scheme, specially crafted to help evoke a sense of calm. The spectrum of greens – including the key colorway ‘Green Spark’, inspired by the natural phenomena of bioluminescence – were carefully chosen for their soft, glowing shades, meanwhile prints adorning the fabric emulate recurring fractal shapes in nature.

The apparel collection is made from 100% recycled materials and comes in sizes XS-2XL for men and 2XS-2XL for women.

adidas: Umsatzanstieg im dritten Quartal

Entwicklungen:

Entwicklungen:

  • Währungsbereinigter Umsatz steigt um 1 % infolge von Zuwächsen in allen Regionen mit Ausnahme von Nordamerika
  • Umsatzentwicklung spiegelt Fokus auf konservativen Sell-in und Verkauf zum vollen Preis wider
  • Bruttomarge steigt um 0,2 PP auf 49,3 % aufgrund von niedrigeren Frachtkosten, einem vorteilhafteren Geschäftsmix und niedrigeren Wertberichtigungen auf Vorräte; Rabattniveau verbessert sich weiter
  • Betriebsergebnis von 409 Mio. € beinhaltet Sonderaufwendungen von rund 110 Mio. €
  • Konservative Sell-in-Strategie zahlt sich aus: Vorratsbestand verbessert sich gegenüber dem zweiten Quartal deutlich auf 4,8 Mrd. €; Verringerung um 23 % im Vorjahresvergleich

Ausblick
adidas erwartet Umsatzrückgang im niedrigen einstelligen Prozentbereich

Am 17. Oktober hatte adidas seine Finanzprognose für das Gesamtjahr angepasst, um sowohl die positiven Auswirkungen des zweiten Abverkaufs von Yeezy Produkten sowie die besser als erwartete Entwicklung des zugrunde liegenden Geschäfts zu berücksichtigen. Gleichzeitig existieren nach wie vor makroökonomische Herausforderungen und geopolitische Spannungen. Es bestehen auch weiterhin erhöhte Rezessionsrisiken in Nordamerika und Europa sowie Unsicherheiten hinsichtlich der Erholung in China. Darüber hinaus werden die Initiativen zur deutlichen Reduzierung der hohen Lagerbestände in Nordamerika sowie der Fokus auf den Verkauf zum vollen Preis in den eigenen Vertriebskanälen die Umsatzentwicklung des Unternehmens weiter beeinflussen. Infolgedessen erwartet adidas nun, dass der währungsbereinigte Umsatz im Jahr 2023 im niedrigen einstelligen Prozentbereich zurückgehen wird (bisherige Prognose: Rückgang im mittleren einstelligen Prozentbereich).

Zugrunde liegendes Betriebsergebnis von rund 100 Mio. € erwartet
Das zugrunde liegende Betriebsergebnis des Unternehmens – ohne Einmaleffekte im Zusammenhang mit Yeezy und der laufenden strategischen Prüfung – wird den Prognosen zufolge im Jahr 2023 nun auf einem Niveau von etwa 100 Mio. € liegen (bisherige Prognose: in etwa Break-Even-Niveau). Unter Berücksichtigung der positiven Auswirkungen der Verkäufe von Yeezy Produkten im zweiten und dritten Quartal in Höhe von rund 300 Mio. € (bisherige Prognose: 150 Mio. €), der potenziellen Abschreibung des übrigen Yeezy Bestands in Höhe von nun etwa 300 Mio. € (bisherige Prognose: 400 Mio. €) sowie von Einmalkosten im Zusammenhang mit der strategischen Prüfung von bis zu 200 Mio. € (unverändert), geht das Unternehmen nun davon aus, für das Geschäftsjahr 2023 ein negatives Betriebsergebnis in Höhe von etwa 100 Mio. € zu berichten (bisherige Prognose: negatives Betriebsergebnis in Höhe von 450 Mio. €).

adidas Originals and Wales Bonner present Fall/Winter 2023

adidas Originals and Wales Bonner continue their collaborative partnership with the Fall/Winter 2023 collection.

Off-pitch styles include an elevated knit set in mahogany brown alongside football shorts in a sand colored nylon with the iconic Three Stripes contrast. Swapping creative sources of inspiration from the 70s to the 90s, key pieces are rendered in a lightweight nylon fabrication, including a pale sky tracksuit with reflective piping and a black nylon top with a contrasting vivid green knit collar. All pieces are available in unisex sizing.

Marking a departure from previous seasons, the campaign visuals swap evocative landscapes for a more refined, studio setting. Decidedly new, yet still grounded in the adidas Originals by Wales Bonner lexicon, the visuals capture a mix of models and street cast figures, as well as skateboarder Na-Kel Smith, against minimal backdrops. Accompanying the campaign images are a set of short interviews and moving vignettes, with the cast answering interview questions hosted by playwright, actor, and philanthropist, Jeremy O. Harris.

adidas: Preliminary third quarter results and increases full year guidance

adidas announced preliminary results for the third quarter of 2023. In Q3, currency-neutral revenues increased 1% versus the prior year level. In euro terms, the company’s revenues declined 6% to € 5.999 billion (2022: € 6.408 billion). The company’s gross margin improved 0.2 percentage points to 49.3% in Q3 (2022: 49.1%). Operating profit reached € 409 million during the quarter (2022: € 564 million), reflecting an operating margin of 6.8% (2022: 8.8%). While the company’s performance in the quarter was again positively impacted by the sale of parts of its remaining Yeezy inventory, the underlying adidas business also developed better than expected.

Consequently, the company has updated its full year guidance: adidas now expects currency-neutral revenues to decline at a low-single-digit rate in 2023 (previously: decline at a mid-single-digit rate). At the same time, the company’s underlying operating profit – excluding any one-offs related to Yeezy and the ongoing strategic review – is now anticipated to reach a level of around €100 million in 2023 (previously: around break-even level).

Including the positive impact from the two Yeezy drops in Q2 and Q3, the potential write-off of the remaining Yeezy inventory of now around € 300 million (previously: € 400 million) and one-off costs related to the strategic review of up to € 200 million (unchanged), adidas now expects to report an operating loss of around € 100 million in 2023 (previously: loss of € 450 million).
