Under Armour still owns a lot of digital assets (1). I think this set back will help UA prepare for future successes.

Bold Prediction: I think by 2035 neither Nike, Adidas, or Under Armour will be the dominant shoe brand. I believe we will have a new company which will change the game dynamically. A new Apple or Tesla of shoes.

not a crazy prediction. My prediction: Amazon. I have a few pairs of their branded shoes. Simple, cheap, effective. People will eventually realize the newest neat-o feature in the latest shoes are not that big a deal.

What a disingenuous title, they're killing some small app, not MFP which is the one people commonly use

But, it's an app that's connected to hardware that was sold, and that /is/ news, because the hardware is now much less useful than it was when it was marketed and sold.

I think you underestimate the power of endorsements.
