Supporting "Lost Runners" with Comprehensive Services
In 2010, with the explosive running boom showing no signs of slowing down, Adidas Running's theme is "run yourself better." An internet survey conducted by Adidas nationwide revealed that a staggering 70 percent of runners, despite the boom, have either chosen the wrong products, leading to an inability to run effectively, or have sustained injuries. These individuals are referred to as "lost runners," and to support them, Adidas offers meticulous attention to each runner's level and needs. Examples include "Foot Scan," where specialized Adidas staff analyze each runner's feet to recommend the most suitable shoes based on the data, the recently launched digital personal training tool "miCoach," and the dedicated runner's facility "adidas RUNBASE" established near the Imperial Palace.
