Implications - Athletic footwear has really pushed the modern boundaries of what it means for products to be fashionably functional. The styles have improved greatly over the years, but brands have also been integrating technology with material that provides the ultimate comfort for athletes. With sports being a dominant industry, it becomes all the more important for companies to continuously look for ways to provide properly functional footwear.
