曾經(jīng)的我一年到頭都穿匡威，現(xiàn)在的我抱緊了保溫杯。換季了，最近正在整理衣柜的我真的好感慨：所以以前的我都是瞎**買東西的嗎？

其實(shí)并不是啦，只是人的喜好確實(shí)會(huì)隨著年齡發(fā)生變化。

Under?Armour Inc. is?gaining favor with?an older crowd of shoppers, according to the most recent athletic survey from B. Riley.
根據(jù)B. Riley最近的一項(xiàng)體育調(diào)查，安德瑪公司正在獲得老年消費(fèi)者的青睞。

“We would note that Under Armour remained?flat?in the younger ages of 18-to-34 whereas Adidas, Lululemon and Nike all increased, indicating older consumers are?gravitating?more towards Under Armour, which is likely representative of the increased mass distribution,” wrote B. Riley in its report.
B. Riley在其報(bào)告中寫道：“我們注意到，在18至34歲的年輕人中，安德瑪銷量持平，而阿迪達(dá)斯、露露檸檬和耐克的銷量都有所增長(zhǎng)，這表明年齡較大的消費(fèi)者更傾向于安德瑪，這可能代表了安德瑪銷量增長(zhǎng)的部分?！?/div>

In shoes, Under Armour lost ground in the basketball category, falling from fourth in 2018 to fifth this year, behind Reebok. It fell to number seven from six in the casual category.
在鞋類方面，安德瑪在籃球鞋類上有所下滑，從2018年的第四名跌至今年的第五名，落后于銳步。休閑鞋類從第6位跌至第7位。

In the running category, Under Armour maintained its place at number six.
在跑步鞋類中，安德瑪保持在第六位。

Nike Inc. and Adidas held on to their positions at numbers one and two, respectively, across all three of those categories. Reebok is part of the Adidas portfolio.
耐克公司和阿迪達(dá)斯在上述三個(gè)領(lǐng)域的排名都分別穩(wěn)居第一和第二。銳步是阿迪達(dá)斯的一部分。

“We believe this is reflective of the limited innovation we have seen in Under Armour footwear compared to Nike and Adidas,” B. Riley said.?
“我們認(rèn)為這反映出，與耐克和阿迪達(dá)斯相比，我們?cè)诎驳卢斝惿峡吹降膭?chuàng)新有限，”B. Riley說。

“We believe Nike’s innovation engine is just ramping up as they have already announced an entirely new running platform for 2019, as well as further rollout of the adaptive technology beyond basketball. Comparatively, from Under Armour, we are seeing more limited innovation as the company has announced further iterations of the HOVR technology introduced last year.”
“我們相信耐克的創(chuàng)新引擎正在加速，他們已經(jīng)宣布了2019年全新的運(yùn)行平臺(tái)，以及籃球之外的適應(yīng)性技術(shù)的進(jìn)一步推廣。相比之下，在安德瑪，隨著公司宣布去年推出的HOVR技術(shù)的進(jìn)一步升級(jí)，我們看到的是創(chuàng)新受限?！?/div>
