Nike unwraps new self-tying shoe 16 March 2016 © 2016 AFP A Nike sports shoe is pictured during an event to unveil their latest innovative sports products in New York on March 16, 2016 US sporting goods giant Nike unveiled Wednesday its first shoe that ties itself, the HyperAdapt 1.0, which will go on sale at the end of 2016. Sensors at the heel level activate the lacing when a foot slips into the shoe. Two buttons on the side of the shoe can be pressed to loosen or tighten the lacing. Nike calls the feature "adaptive lacing." Nike's star designer Tinker Hatfield said at the New York presentation that the company is working on other innovations that will provide automatic adjustments. Nike launched in 2015 a limited-edition shoe with so-called "power laces" that adapt to the wearer's motion, the Nike Mag, inspired by the film "Back to the Future, Part II". It will only be available via auction this year, with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, a nonprofit launched by the actor who played Marty McFly in the movie. 1 / 2 APA citation: Nike unwraps new self-tying shoe (2016, March 16) retrieved 27 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2016-03-nike-unwraps-self-tying.html This document is subject to copyright.

Digital Transformation in the Sports Apparel Industry: the Case of Nike, Inc
Digital Transformation in the Sports Apparel Industry: The Case of Nike, Inc. Master Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the Degree Master of Science in Management (Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Leadership) Submitted to Prof. DDr. Arno Scharl Lukas J.M. Stangl 1521009 Vienna, 10th August 2020 I AFFIDAVIT I hereby affirm that this Master’s Thesis represents my own written work and that I have used no sources and aids other than those indicated. All passages quoted from publica- tions or paraphrased from these sources are properly cited and attributed. The thesis was not submitted in the same or in a substantially similar version, not even partially, to another examination board and was not published elsewhere. 10.08.2020 Date Signature I II ABSTRACT The global revenue of the sports apparel industry is larger than it has ever been before. Digital transformation has been a driver for the industry, leading to digital innovations within the industry. This has led to the fall of market leaders while creating opportunities for new market entrants by capturing market share through leveraging new technolo- gies. The company Nike, Inc. has been the market leader in the sports apparel industry for several decades and is known to be a forerunner in innovation. The purpose of this research is to examine how digital transformation has affected Nike, Inc. and the sports apparel industry and how it will shape the future. A secondary aim is to investigate how Nike’s customers perceive these changes and to scrutinize their digital needs and expec- tations. This research furthermore aims to conclude about the digital needs and expec- tations of Nike’s customers and if they align with Nike’s strategy.

The Art of Scarcity from Fashion to Luxury Collectors’ Items
The Art of Scarcity From fashion to luxury collectors’ items Alexandra Brüchert, Lorenzo Dirksz, Nsunge Kaniki Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of scarcity in branding within the fashion industry. Secondly, the aim is to show how fashion brands can utilize scarcity as a branding tool to transform products into luxury collector’s fashion items. Method: A mixed approach is used in this paper. The qualitative research is based on literature review as well as case studies of the artist Banksy and the fashion brands Supreme and Nike. The qualitative research is based on a questionnaire. The case studies and the questionnaire are later discussed and connected. Findings: The research shows that there are several connections between the presented cases. By combining the time and quantity scarcity appeal as well as the application of a single channel distribution system, fashion brands can elevate their products to collectors’ items status. Branding, pricing and community & media, connect the three elements. Originality/Value: The originality of the paper derives from an analysis of how fashion brands can incorporate scarcity as an instrument to be perceived as a luxury brand, filling the research gap of collectors’ items in fashion branding. Limitations: The research paper is based on case studies of only two fashion brands and one artist, while the conducted questionnaire was based on a partially homogenous and small group. Keywords Scarcity, Luxury Branding, Fashion Branding, Contemporary Art, Limited Editions Paper type Research paper Introduction According to industry reports, exclusivity and desirability are emerging as criteria for luxury fashion instead of high prices (Dutzler,Kofler, Leeb, Nitschke & Menendez, 2019).

MAG Investment Memo
2016 Nike MAG Background Otis recently acquired a pair of 2016 Nike MAG sneakers. This document aims to share the story of this asset. Table Of Contents OTIS OVERVIEW 4 HIGHLIGHTS 6 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE NIKE 8 MAG 2016 NIKE MAG #9 OF 89 13 APPENDIX 21 3 What Is Otis Everyone has their thing. Maybe yours is sneakers, or maybe it's contemporary art. Whatever it is, you get it — the value assigned to a certain item, its cultural significance, why it matters. But more often than not, ownership of grails is out of the picture, whether because fewer than 100 were made, or because that six-figure price tag just doesn't work with your budget. At Otis, we turn aficionados into shareholders. We believe in transparency, liquidity, and trusting your own gut. We're democratizing an otherwise closed market and making these alternative assets accessible. Own shares in the things that you value, and whose value you understand and build a portfolio better suited to a museum than a stock ticker. 4 Disclaimers The material in this presentation has been prepared by Otis Wealth, Inc. (Otis) and is general background information about Otis’s activities current as at the date of this presentation. This information is given in summary form and does not purport to be complete.

Nike MAG ‘Back to the Future’ Collection
Nike MAG ‘Back To The Future’ Collection “Originally worn by Michael J. Fox’s character Marty McFly, the Nike Air Mag went on to become one of the most revered sneakers amongst collectors of both sneakers and movie memorabilia alike for more than two decades.” Sole Collector Nike MAG Inhaltsverzeichnis ‘Back To The Future’ Collection Factsheet 10-Jahres-Vergleich Highlights Chancen & Risiken Galerie Lektüre zum Thema Entwicklung & Einschätzung Anhang & Berechnungen Preisentwicklung Nike MAG Factsheet ‘Back To The Future’ Collection Release-Datum 2011 Marke Nike / Mattel Original Box & Zubehör Ja, inkl. Zubehör, T-Shirt, Hoverboard, Pin Größe US 9 | EU 42,5 Colourway Jetstream / White-Pale Blue Style code 417744-001 Condition Deadstock Nike MAG Highlights ‘Back To The Future’ Collection Vom Film-Mythos zu realen Hype-Collectibles Sie sind Objekte, die als Film-Mythos begannen und erst nachträglich ins Leben gerufen wurden: der Nike MAG ‘Back To The Future’ und das Hoverboard. Im 1989 erschienenen zweiten Teil der Trilogie trägt Filmfigur Marty McFly die eigens für den Film angefertigten Sneaker und gleitet auf einem fliegenden Hoverboard durch die Stadt. Ist das die Zukunft? Ja, denn über 20 Jahre später tun Nike und Mattel das Unfassbare: Sie produzieren die zwei Artikel in Wirklichkeit und schaffen damit wahre Blockbuster-Collectibles. Der Holy Grail der Sneaker-Welt Was den Rittern der Tafelrunde ihr Heiliger Gral ist, das ist globalen Sneakerheads der Nike MAG ‘Back To The Future’. Vielleicht weil beide Objekte ihren Ursprung in der Fiktion haben und das bekanntlich der Stoff ist, aus dem Legenden gemacht sind. In der ‘Back to the Future’-Collection befindet sich außerdem das legendäre Hoverboard sowie das zugehörige T-Shirt, das es so nie zu kaufen gab.
