Under Armour Adds Full-Price Products to Outlet Stores

Under Armour is revamping its store strategy as part of a wider turnaround effort amid continued revenue declines. The athletic brand plans to introduce more full-price products at its outlet locations, create city showrooms for flagship items, and refine performance assortments in full-price stores. The company is also moving its youth sports category to a licensed model run by Centric Brands by fall 2027, aiming to cut costs and focus on brand and marketing. In Q2, revenue dropped 7% to $1.2 billion, with declines across DTC, wholesale, and all product categories except Latin America. Under Armour plans to reduce SKUs by another 25% and launch fewer, larger marketing campaigns, including a global platform called 'this is your armour'. Analysts remain cautious, citing ongoing brand relevance issues.

• Under Armour reported Q2 revenue down 7% year-over-year to $1.2 billion.
• The company plans to add more full-price products to its outlet stores.
• Centric Brands will operate Under Armour's youth sports category under license by fall 2027.
