What company owns Under Armor?

#1580 Kevin Plank

Under Armour founder Kevin Plank built a popular sportswear brand as the underdog competitor to Nike.

Why did Nike sell Hurley?

The brand at the time was edgy — more punk rock than what the rest of the industry was putting out — with a focus on music and art, creating one of the first lifestyle brands in the surf world. In a 2013 interview, Hurley said he sold the company to Nike, in part, to avoid going public as the brand grew.
