As per the report, the sportswear brand upped its assessment by 16 percent to US $ 32.4 billion.
Brand Finance examined parameters such as market investment, stakeholder equity, business performance, royalty rates and forecast revenues to announce NIKE as the No. 1 apparel brand.
Additionally, NIKE’s sales growth in China, Europe, the Middle East and Africa added to its success.
Marketing initiatives such as “Just Do It” ads with Colin Kaepernick and the “Dream Crazier” visuals featuring tennis sensation Serena Williams also did wonders for the sportswear brand Nike.

In a time when customers look for experiences and emotional connection, NIKE’s offering comes with unambiguous messages and values that people can rally behind,” said Richard Haigh, Managing Director of Brand Finance.
