Nike isn’t the only one betting its future on DTC.
In conjunction with Adidas’ end of year results, the sporting giant announced a four-year plan, dubbed Own the Game, which calls for a shift to a DTC-led model. The company plans for direct to consumer to make up 50% of net sales by 2025, as e-commerce doubles to between 8 billion euros ($9.6 billion as of press time) and 9 billion euros. That’s up from a 30% DTC business in 2019 and 40% in 2020, executives said during a virtual presentation. That includes paring down wholesale partners to focus on strategic partnerships.
