Nike is one of the largest footwear brands around. And according to teens, it’s also one of the coolest.

The majority of the 7,100 teens across 44 states who responded to Piper Sandler’s 43rd semi-annual spending survey this spring voted for Nike as their top footwear and apparel brand. In apparel, Nike garnered 30% of the vote, followed by American Eagle at 7%, and Lululemon at 5%. Nike’s share of the vote was larger in footwear at 60%, followed by the Nike-owned Converse, Adidas and Vans all tied for with 8% of the vote. New Balance earned the fifth spot with 1%.

Nike also earned the top votes for footwear (57%) and apparel (27%) in Piper Sandler’s fall survey, but has increased its percentage of votes since then. The Swoosh has been named the top apparel brand among teens for 11 consecutive years.

While Nike still dominates both apparel and footwear, Lululemon continues to gain share. The athleisure brand gained 300 basis points from the same survey last year. Lululemon was ranked as the No. 1 brand for upper-income females and as the “top trend” for women.
