The movement calls itself the Massive Brigade, and they believe change isn't coming fast enough to America. Former military, disaffected, restless, Kevin leaves behind his retail job in San Francisco, sends a good-bye text to his mother, dumps his phone and wallet into a trash can, and disappears. Where have they gone? Why? The only answer, for weeks, is silence. They leave behind cell phones, credit cards, jobs, houses, families-everything-all on the same day. One day in the early summer of 2017, about four hundred people disappear from their lives. With The Middleman, the perfect thriller for our tumultuous, uneasy time, Olen Steinhauer, the New York Times bestselling author of ten novels, including The Tourist and The Cairo Affair, delivers a compelling portrait of a nation on the edge of revolution, and the deepest motives of the men and women on the opposite sides of the divide. “A thought-provoking political thriller, a dark story for dark times.” – The Washington Post

Earlier this year, Nike's largest competitor Adidas had announced a similar initiative called "Own the Game", under which the German sportswear giant plans to reach 50 percent direct-to-consumer sales by 2025.Ĭan I integrate infographics into my blog or website? Now approaching 40 percent, Nike aims for direct sales to represent 60 percent of its business by 2025, with the share of digital direct sales expected to double from 21 to around 40 percent. "FY21 was a pivotal year for Nike as we brought our Consumer Direct Acceleration strategy to life across the marketplace," John Donahoe, President & CEO of Nike said. The steep increase in direct sales is largely driven by sales across Nike's digital platforms, which accounted for 21 percent of Nike brand sales last year. In the meantime, direct-to-consumer sales grew more than six-fold in absolute terms, from $2.5 billion in 2010 to $16.4 billion in 2021. As the following chart shows, the percentage of direct-to-consumer sales in total Nike brand sales more than doubled over the past decade, climbing from 15 percent in 2010 to 39 percent in fiscal year 2021.

The results were once again driven by strong growth of Nike’s direct-to-consumer business, which saw sales increase by 32 percent for the full fiscal year, compared to 12 percent growth in sales to wholesale customers. Full year revenue was up 19 percent to $44.5 billion, while net income more than doubled to $5.7 billion. The sportswear giant beat analyst expectations as fourth quarter sales grew 96 percent compared to the previous year and 21 percent compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, which is a better gauge of performance as last year's May quarter was heavily impacted by COVID-related store closures.
