some of the top apparel brands in the industry. During its first ten years of operations, the company was known primarily for its sweatwicking clothing line. In late $2010,$ however, Under Armour released its first line of basketball shoes since the company's inception. Along with the new product line, says Plank, needs to come a new brand image. "I called our marketing team and said go through this building and find anything that says we are only an apparel brand and throw it away." The company has also pulled all advertisements carrying the word "apparel," and will begin exploring new ways to promote the brand. The company hopes its new efforts will allow the company to be viewed as an overall "performance" company, which will ultimately enable it to compete with footwear from powerhouses Nike and Adidas, and will help increase its current $1\mathrm{.}1$ percent market share.
