Puma sees itself in ‘a different lane’ than Nike and Adidas

August 30, 2019

Puma has been on a tear of late, with a sales increase of nearly 16 percent in its most recently reported quarter and a new high-profile flagship on NYC’s Fifth Avenue. Will they overtake Nike or Adidas anytime soon? Not likely — Puma’s revenue was around $4.65 billion last year compared to $21.9 billion for Adidas and $31.4 billion for Nike.
