A spokesperson for Gambling ‘N Go commented: "The sportswear industry is a fascinating landscape to watch and monitor, as fashion, sports and celebrities all have huge influence and impact. It is interesting to see Nike is dominating the industry after so many years, with an incredible 30,824,627 more monthly website visits in Europe a month than in second place Puma. It also might surprise some to see Adidas in third spot rather than second place due to its long rivalry with Nike.'
