And that is the focus as we move forward, whether it's through running, basketball is obviously big there, football, tennis is on the rise.
And so you'll see us reposition the brand through the lens of sport.
And it's not just through product, but it's through the athletes and the stories we tell, much more local.
Another opportunity that we have is around the digital marketplace and making certain that we clean up the digital marketplace and then ultimately pay it off
