L.A.B. Golf's $200 Million USD Sale Shows Putting Culture Is Changing
One of the breakout companies of the year,L.A.B. Golf, has been acquired by private equity firm L Catterton for $200 million USD.Founded in 2018 by Sam Hahn, L.A.B. quietly refined its zero-torque, face-balanced designs until the floodgates opened in 2023. Lucas Glover's late-season heater with a Mezz.1 Max putter gave the brand its first splash of TOUR exposure, andJ.J. Spaun's winning putt at the 2025 U.S. Open with a DF3 sent things over the edge. The company sold an estimated 130,000 putters in 2024 and is projected to triple that figure by the end of 2025, creating unprecedented demand for fittings and custom builds. For a fast-growing brand, private equity backing may prove essential to scale without losing momentum.But the sale doesn't just reflect L.A.B.'s rise. It also represents a broader shift in putting culture where golfers are more willing to experiment, get fit and embrace unconventional designs if it means draining more putts. L.A.B.'s value proposition lies in its zero-torque, face-balanced technology, designed to make finding the target line easier and more repeatable for any player. Now the industry is well and truly on notice.

adidas May Hike Prices as US Tariff Costs Increase by $230 Million USD
adidason Wednesday stated that it may have to raise its prices in the United States, as a result of US tariffs increasing costs by 200 million EUR ($230 million USD). In a call with analysts, the German sportswear brand's CEO, Bjørn Gulden, stated that the tariffs 'will directly increase the cost of our products for the US,' perReuters. He added that adidas is still not aware of the final tariff levels, though he is concerned about how the new prices will affect consumer demand 'should all these tariffs cause major inflation.' 'What I'm mostly worried about, to be honest, is not only the cost but it's what is going to be the consumer reaction in the market with all these price increases that I think will come not only in our sector, but in general in the U.S.,' he said. 'Should we get mega inflation in the U.S., things will happen on the demand side, then of course volumes will go down.' Gulden added that the company plans to review its product slate to determine which SKUs would be priced higher, though he declined to state by how much. 'We will try to keep the prices on known models [stable] as long as we can, and then do new pricing on product that hasn't existed before,' he said.

Asics America Moves Boston Office Into Former Shoe Factory
Asics America has moved into a new home in Boston. According to the Japanese athletic brand, its North American head office has relocated to 179 Lincoln Street in Boston, Mass. Asics, which completed its move earlier this month, now occupies 43,721-square-feet of the new office building and represents an expansion of the brand's presence in the East Coast sneaker capital and sports hub.

Spanning an entire city block along the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, this five-story, LEED Silver-certified property also offers accessibility with proximity to South Station and Interstates 90 and 93, the company noted. To celebrate the opening, the company held a team gathering in the new space, with a surprise guest appearance from former president of Asics Motoi Oyama. At the event, Oyama presented a gift for the new office: a framed poster from 1985, the year he was assigned to Asics America. Barbara Turner, chief administrative officer of Asics America, said in a statement that the company is 'so pleased' with its new home in Boston. 'The heritage and design of the building, coupled with modern amenities and LEED certification makes this the ideal space and location for our business and Boston-based team members,' Turner said. This new office follows the 2018 opening of the Asics Creation Studio, located at 125 Summer Street in Boston, which was home to nearly 100 employees at the time of opening, including members of the product design, marketing and commerce teams. The space, designed by IA Interior Architects, featured 18,818-square-feet of workspace, as well as two showrooms for meetings and a cafe space outfitted with a whisky bar. In May, Asics Corp. reported net sales in the first quarter of 2025 were 208.3 billion yen, a 19.7 percent increase from 174.1 billion yen in first-quarter 2024. The company noted that this is the first time its net sales have surpassed the 200-billion-yen threshold on a quarterly basis. Zooming in on North American sales, the company said it saw 'significant growth' in the sportstyle category in the first quarter as well as improved profitability at company-owned retail stores. Overall net sales in the region increased 18.3 percent to 39.1 billion yen in the first quarter, up from 33.1 billion yen the same time last year. Asics Corp. is set to release its second quarter 2025 earnings statement in August.
