Trainers. Not a market that is obviously a winner for new products. If a client came to me with the idea of launching trainers, the names "Nike" and "Adidas" would come to mind as fierce competitors. And yet here is Skechers, making waves with a new trainer. But not just any trainer. And not just competing for the mass market. No, Skechers has created and expanded a wonderful niche market for itself selling trainers to people with a very specific need. One that Michael can speak to from personal experience!
