These shoes handle the corresponding performance and injury prevention features.

There is a growing number of order cancellations from international clients who are unable to sell or store products. Moreover, a decrease in consumer demand for athletic footwear was noted by brands like Adidas, Nike, and Puma, as customers reduced or delayed discretionary spending in response to the impacts of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has destructively affected on the volume of athletic footwear transactions.
