In 2011, Adidas made a bold decision: to stop releasing one of its classic sneakers, the Stan Smith.

Walmart has been making an aggressive push into the clothing business. Last year it bought brands including Bonobos and ModCloth, and earlier this year it launched four of its own private label brands.

Button-up shirts that are designed to be worn untucked sound like an absurd premise for a business. And yet the brand Untuckit, built on this exact idea, continues to rapidly open stores and did more than $100 million in sales last year, according to a Forbes estimate.

Retail has been in a state of flux, particularly in the US. It’s not an apocalypse so much as an existential reckoning, brought on by one-time leaders shuttering stores at a record clip and companies large and small asking themselves how to keep their physical spaces relevant to shoppers.

Instagram is a performance space. It’s where untold numbers of young women and men, in search of attention, validation, or something else, go to show off their best sides—literally. It’s the natural habitat of the sexily posed, scantily clad portraits dubbed “thirst traps.”

Donald Trump’s trade war with China looks like it’s finally going to hit American shoppers.

Anyone who has run enough years knows the perils of “runner’s knee” or shinsplints. And so running-shoe makers have devoted huge quantities of time and money over the past few decades to developing—and advertising—technologies that are supposed to make for a safer, injury-free run.

Blame it on hormones.

When Walmart and its subsidiary, Jet.com, unexpectedly bought the popular fashion brands ModCloth and Bonobos just a few months apart last year, the brands’ passionately devoted fans collectively gasped. Their beloved, quirky online shops—whose carefully cultivated aesthetics were more cool boutique than big-box store—had been gobbled up by a middle-American discount department-store chain with a reputation for exploitative labor practices.

The fanny pack is in the midst of a major revival.

Start Today may not be a household name around the world yet, but the retailer is huge in Japan.

Supporters of Donald Trump are seething after discovering baby clothes with “Impeach 45″—Trump is the 45th US president—up for sale on Walmart’s site. (They’ve since been taken down.)

Roger Federer arrived for his opening match at Wimbledon today (July 2) wearing something other than Nike for the first time since 1994. Instead of a swoosh, his Wimbledon-mandated all-white outfit bore the boxy red logo of Japanese retailer Uniqlo, confirming weeks of speculation that Federer and Nike were parting ways.

After suffering through a slump in the US through much of 2017, Nike is now growing again on its home field—its most important source of sales and the world’s biggest sneaker market.

Sometimes the measure of an idea’s success isn’t how much it stands out, but how well it has blended into the background.

Women may still be fashion’s biggest spenders. But when you look at how fast sales are growing, men now lead the race—and they’re expected to widen the gap over the next few years.

Kristan Serafino is the go-to stylist for a number of male celebrities, including Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Mendes, and many others, and while she’s quick to joke, she takes her job very seriously.

A report by an international watchdog group is alleging that retailers including H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, Columbia Sportswear, and Benetton have largely ignored reports of violence and other serious abuses against workers at an Indian factory making their clothes.

It’s still up for debate why Melania Trump chose to wear a jacket with “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” on it. But it’s already inspiring some creative responses.

It was an understandably overwhelming moment.

ASOS, the popular and rapidly growing British online fashion retailer, has announced a major new change in the products it will—or rather won’t—carry.

Donald Trump delivered a speech to the National Federation of Independent Businesses yesterday (June 19) that included a claim which left many listeners confused.

At Milan Fashion Week on Sunday (June 17), the Under Armour logo got a prominent turn on the runway.

Shoes and hamburgers have sort of a symbiotic relationship.
