【How can a new sportswear brand stand out?】
At 20, Chery is working with manufacturers on running shoes and performance apparel after registering the business and securing the brand name and logo.
The idea has been growing for more than a year, driven by a genuine passion for running and sports. After struggling with direction since high school, Chery returned to university to study business management and says the brand has given that uncertainty a sense of purpose.
One commenter who said they had spent 15 years in consumer goods offered a blunt warning: this is a crowded market, and competitors will usually have more money for marketing. The brand needs a clear niche, lifestyle, or product that feels meaningfully different—not just another sportswear label.
Their practical suggestion was to get creative with outreach and, once the product is ready, give some pieces to micro-influencers to build from there. It will be a grind, but passion can help carry the work when the market is already full of bigger budgets.
