FOOTWEAR TRADESHOW
CALENDAR
APRIL – JUNE 2023
APRIL 2023 ISSUE
Written by: Andrew Sia
From the Desk of the Publisher
We have found that all the shows that carry the footwear category are showing clothing and accessories, except the Italians who are more dedicated to footwear.
Our interest in the footwear is because of the acceptance of the general public for the sneakers. We have to agree that sneakers are becoming big business especially for the sports brands. In fact they are so big that from sneakers they develop into activewear and other casualwear.
For each of these brands, they can show their whole line of collection that can already be very fascinating and can also cover all types of sports and their different functions. It is a knowledge of its own and also a business that can stand alone in the sports arena.
For this type of report, perhaps we would need to have the specialists for the sneakers to explain us in order that we can expand our knowledge.
Opening Remark
We make our second report with this second quarter of 2023 and we hope that you will find the information interesting.
