This is expected to have a short-term negative impact of up to EUR250 million on the company's net income in 2022, given the high seasonality of the fourth quarter.

Adidas is the sole owner of all design rights to existing products as well as previous and new colourways under the partnership. The company said more information will be given as part of the company's upcoming third quarter (Q3) earnings announcement on November 9, 2022. (ANI)
