This timeline presents Nike's North American revenue from 2009 to 2024, by segment. Nike's North American revenue from footwear amounted to roughly 14.5 billion U.S. dollars in the year ended May 31, 2024, which was far greater than that of the apparel and equipment segments combined. That said, only the equipment segment recorded noticeable sales growth in the last year. A broad portfolio Nike offers an extremely broad array of products within the apparel and sports equipment market. As one of the leading companies, Nike tries to stay ahead of the game and create new, unique and innovative products to give their athletes, and their profit margins the edge. This can be seen in the number of patents filed by Nike. These patents cover a wide array of technology areas, primarily design, followed by footwear. Nike shoes And Nike’s investment in footwear is rewarded, as the revenue of Nike’s footwear segment compared to Adidas and Puma is far greater than that of its competitors. Nike has many lines of iconic shoes, from their air Jordan line to the extremely limited-edition Nike Air mags. These were shoes based on the film Back to the Future, which feature self-lacing technology.

In the financial year ended March 31, 2024, apparel sales accounted for the largest share of Under Armour’s worldwide revenue, accounting for approximately 66.5 percent of net sales. In the same year, footwear accounted for about a quarter of net sales. Footwear sales setting the pace Under Armour’s footwear segment sales rose sharply between 2015 and 2016, increasing by 333 million U.S. dollars worldwide, pushing annual revenue from this product category to more than one billion U.S. dollars for the first time. A similar evolution was recorded between the fiscal years of 2020 and 2021: while UA's shoe sales had dropped to below the billion dollar mark as a result of interruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the company bounced back and set a new record for itself in 2021, at approximately 1.25 billion U.S. dollars' worth of global footwear sales. This number increased to a record 1.45 billion in 2023. The brand’s footwear line covers a wide range of sports and activities, but running shoes take the lead in terms of sales. Understanding the customers’ needs and wants Increasing sales from both its footwear and apparel units resulted in Under Armour’s global net sales exceeding five billion U.S. dollars for the first time in 2018. The company succeeded by responding to shifts in consumer preferences: a growing interest in performance products and the acknowledgement of the benefits of an active lifestyle. When Under Armour first launched in 1996, it focused on compression shirts for men, but the company has since expanded its reach to focus on athletic apparel needs of female athletes, women in general, as well as young people.
