 <\/p>\n

New Yorkers take their running very seriously in Central Park. Too seriously if you ask this twice-a-week jogger and now very former athlete. Many many many were passing me on my amble home last night, which at first was deflating…. but then opportunistic.<\/p>\n

You see when you get passed by as many as I did you get an upfront look at all the latest athletic garb. And each time a runner passed me, bathed in different paraphernalia, sparked a unique reaction, which may also shed some investment light for some on the strength or weakness of athletic brands.<\/p>\n

Here were my reactions, some visceral, after 8 brands of athletic gear passed me:<\/p>\n

Nike ($NKE)- guy must be on steroids<\/p>\n

Under Armour ($UA)- hmm I wonder how I would look in lime green<\/p>\n

Champion- must have been a college athlete in the 80s<\/p>\n

Adidas ($ADDYY)- probably a baller on a short run<\/p>\n

Reebok ($RBK)- former derivatives trader<\/p>\n

Asics ($ASCCF)- NYC Road Runners Club member<\/p>\n

Gap ($GPS) must be my hamstring pull<\/p>\n

Lululemon ($LULU) I really need to pick it up<\/p>\n

Okay I have to go ice down now.<\/p>\n

*no relevant positions<\/p>\n
