The UK turf shoes market will soon experience its value-adding phase and move away from the volume-driven model towards more advanced and higher-value shoes. The sporting culture prevailing in the UK, coupled with the country’s focus on developing weatherproof playing grounds throughout the year, has made turf-specific shoes a necessity for athletes instead of just another luxury product category. With top brands such as Adidas and Nike relying heavily on endorsement deals with the Premier League clubs to attract digitally-inclined customers, the future looks bright for the market in question.
