In an ad-hoc announcement the adidas Group already announced on Monday that our Group’s revenues increased 14% on a currency-neutral basis or 17% in euro terms to € 3.8 billion. This morning the adidas Group published the detailed first quarter 2012 figures.
The infographic below will provide you with an overview of some of the most interesting and most important facts and figures of today’s announcement. You are very welcome to share and/or to download this visualisation.
You will see that our CEO Herbert Hainer is absolutely right when he says: “All in all, there is no doubt that these results confirm the outstanding momentum and global power of the adidas Group”; and there is still plenty to come as adidas takes centre-stage at the UEFA EURO 2012™ and the London 2012 Olympics. So in my opinion our strategic business plan “Route 2015” hits the mark. Go adidas Group, Go!
I’MCOMMENTING ON THE SHACKLE SHOE,I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY LIKE ADIDAS WON’T STAND BEHIND THEIR OWN DESIGN SHACKLE SHOE’S ARE CREATIVE AND FUN, RASICIM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE SHOE’S MARRIED MEN AND WOMAN COULD BE OUTRAGED SAYING IT’S DEPICTING BEING TIED DOWN. MAYBE THIS IS JUST A FUN AND INNOVATING WAY TO SELL SHOE’S HAS ANYONE EVER THOUGHT OF THAT. MIGHT I SUGGEST IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEM THEN DON’T BUY THEM NOBODY SAID YOU HAVE TO LIKE EVERY PRODUCT THAT COME’S OUT ON THE MARKET, BUT DON’T TAKE IT AWAY FROM THE ONE’S WHO DO. I THINK IT IS DICRIMINATING AGAINST ALL OTHER RACE’S TAKING THESE OFF THE MARKET AND BY GIVING INTO THE BAD PRESS SAYS THIS WAS WHAT ADIDAS HAD IN MIND IN THE DESIGN OF THESE SHOE’S. MY SON SUGGESTED CHANGE THE NAME TO TIE DOWN’S OR PERHAP’S CONVIC’S FROM ADIDAS. I’M SURE INMATE’S AND FELONY’S AROUND THE WORLD WON’T HAVE A PROBLEM. OR WOULD THIS OUTRAGE THE MOTHER’S THAT HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO. AGAIN I REPEAT IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEM DON’T BUY THEM, AND IF PUTTING SHACKLE’S ON SHOE’S IS RASIST THEN THERE IS GOING TO BE A OUTRAGE IN THE PRISON’S BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOUR TRANSPORTED NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOU ARE YOU GET SHACKLED. THEY DON’T CONSIDER THAT DISCRIMINATION. JUST CHANGE THE NAME AND IF YOU DESIGN IT STAND BEHIND IT THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IS YOU INCREASE THE VALUE. CALL THEM CONTROVERSIAL BUT DON’T CANCEL THEM. FROM A COLLECTOR NOT A RACIST. RELEASE THE SDHACKLE SHOE’S
I can’t believe that Adidas can’t afford to be a little controversial, you don’t stand by your own design. Taking the Shackle shoe’s off the Market show’s nothing but you don’t stand by your design all your doing is putting a product out there to sell. Not only do I Love the shoe, I want my Daughter’s to have a pair. I want to know is there another way to purchase these shoe’s third party vendor over sea’s? How do I get these shoe’s back on the Market?
