2015 saw the complete reset of our Women’s business. As a result, we are now more focused on
the female athlete than ever before. We are excited about our collaboration with former lululemon
CEO Christine Day, who has been acting as a strategic adviser to our Women’s business for almost a
year now. As an expert in building an athletic brand for women, Christine has been instrumental in
sharpening our game plan, asking the right questions and helping us develop this important part of
our business in the right way. As a result, we have made significant changes to our global product
and marketing approach to enable us to create products and consumer experiences that address the
very needs of women. As part of these efforts, adidas recently launched its first-ever women’s-only
running shoe, PureBOOST X. In addition, our new Sport 16 campaign, ‘I’m Here to Create’, is told
exclusively through the lens of some of the world’s finest female athletes, including tennis icon
Caroline Wozniacki, supermodel Karlie Kloss as well as a large number of local influencers such
as US rock climbing star Sasha DiGiulian and inspirational yogi Adriene Mishler.
