Anta Sports completes Puma stake acquisition, becomes largest shareholder

Shoe Palace Embraces Multi-Brand Marketing
Shoe Palace has shifted toward multi-brand marketing to reflect younger shoppers’ decreased loyalty to single brands. In April it launched a social- and in-store campaign called “Dispatched for Spring,” featuring six brands (Nike, Jordan, Adidas, New Balance, Asics and On) and product-focused creative. The retailer began running more multi-brand campaigns in late 2024 and plans quarterly multi-brand efforts alongside occasional single-brand activations (e.g., a current Air Jordan 4 campaign). Shoe Palace reports stronger engagement from multi-brand executions — past campaigns produced a 10–12% lift in foot traffic and double-digit increases in basket size at participating stores — and it continues to focus on store experience improvements, flagships and in-store events. Shoe Palace operates nearly 250 U.S. locations and is owned by JD Sports Fashion Plc; JD Group reported fiscal-2026 revenue up 10.5% to £12.662 billion and named North America its top region.
