Transcript excerpt

This shoe is taking over and we need to talk about it. You can't go anywhere without seeing someone in these shoes. So the brand is Salomon. It's a French outdoor brand and the shoes are meant for hiking and trail running, but people have turned them into performative fashion. Now I dug into the data on Particle, but you really don't need the data to know this. Just look down in public and you'll see. So they have a variety of shoes, but the XT six Good Tier is the one that has taken over as a fashion statement, doing almost double the volume of every other shoe. The basic black and white colors are the most popular, but they have over tier variants, so you have definitely seen some version. Now this follows a much broader trend. Fitness and sport is becoming cool and blending with fashion and lifestyle with bold colors, unique better, and limited edition collabs. It's not about minimal athleisure anymore. Fitness is now a personality trait and people want to express themselves in both what they wear and the activities they do.
