While many consumers in Western countries have been enjoying the benefits of the Adidas shopping app, the same cannot be said of Adidas enthusiasts in many developing economies, which is precisely why the global sports apparel brand has launched an Indian shopping app that brings features such as augmented reality try-on functionality and live chat support to its legions of fans in India.
The Adidas India app will allow Indian sport and street style aficionados to achieve a higher level of engagement with the brand that was previously possible by enrolling in the Adidas Creators Club in order to earn points, receive rewards and shop for the latest and greatest offerings from Adidas.
In the words of Sunil Gupta, senior director at Adidas India, this Indian shopping app will bring a "personalised, secure and smooth digital shopping experience" to consumers.
