Performance Outperforming

Data points continue to come in to support my 'shift back to athletic' theme.

The chart to the right shows the year/year change in market share for the running category (the best proxy for Performance), and 'Low Profile' (i.e. fashion) through the end of June. The trend is unmistakable.
I continue to think that on the margin this helps Foot Locker, and hurts Low Profile beneficiaries such as Skechers, DSW and Brown Shoe.
