Nevertheless, the sportswear clothes whose style has been designed in the United States, can be considered as a sports item although this is more of a clothing trend than real articles developed for sports practice.
In a market once made up of small family businesses, the last few decades have definitively changed the established order. Production is no longer the same, transformed by technological innovations, globalization and large companies, such as JD Sports or Décathlon, which have control over the distribution of sports products. In addition, more and more startups are trying to make the most of a high-potential market.
