NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE), best known for its shoes made specifically for active individuals, also saw footwear sales jump by double digits in North America and Western Europe in a challenging third quarter. Lululemon Athletica inc. (NASDAQ:LULU) delivered similarly impressive results in its latest quarter when it reported a 21% increase in sales to $346 million and a 9% increase in gross profit. The quarter, though, could have been so much better if quality-control issues didn't still hang over Lululemon like a gray cloud. In March, some of the company's most loyal customers began to complain about the company's flagship Luon black yoga pants after the sheer fabric wound up being too revealing, eventually leading to a product recall.
