Watch for increased On Holding ad spend on Amazon — competing brands in athletic footwear should monitor Share of Voice in that category.
Premium athletic footwear is consolidating around founder-led brands with DTC ambitions, adding competitive pressure on mid-tier sneaker sellers across all major marketplaces.
