Brazil-based Olympikus is the No.1 sneaker seller in its home market for the first time since 2011, knocking Oregon-based Nike off the top perch, Bloomberg reports. Nike and Adidas muscled in on the Brazilian market with major promotional pushes and grabbed market share when the country played host to the World Cup in 2014 and to the Olympics in 2016. Olympikus underwent a massive restructuring that gave it a leaner manufacturing operation and allowed the shoe-maker to deliver product to retailers more quickly, cutting down the inventory that stores had to carry. The company also acquired a brand popular with older women that helped boost Olympikus’ market share. Details
