Sportswear and outdoor brands

This directory lists 284 sportswear and outdoor brands. The United States has the most, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Sweden and France. The segment ranges from global athletic brands for running, football, basketball and training to specialists in skiing, climbing, hiking and sailing, as well as athleisure labels that bridge sport and everyday wear.

Sportswear and outdoor brands are among the most wholesale-oriented in this directory, selling through sports retailers, outdoor specialists and department stores. Almost all also sell through their own e-commerce, while a smaller share operate their own stores. Examples include Nike, Jordan Brand, Converse, Adidas, Puma, Under Armour, Lululemon, New Balance, Asics and Reebok. Product technology, athlete partnerships and functional materials play an important role in this segment.
