Adidas on Tuesday raised its full-year sales and profit guidance, citing better than expected performance in the third quarter and good brand momentum as it benefits from popularity of its three-striped Samba and Gazelle shoes.

The German sportswear brand raised its forecasts for the third time this year, saying it now expected currency-neutral revenues to increase by around 10% this year, having previously forecast a high single-digit rate.

Adidas also raised its profit forecast for the year to 1.2 billion euros ($1.31 billion) from 1 billion euros.

Over the third quarter, Adidas revenue grew 7% to 6.438 billion euros, slightly above analysts' estimates of 6.416 billion euros.

The "Saudi Heritage Revival" competition winner was announced Wednesday at the Creative Residence under the Fashion Commission FCR headquarters at JAX District, in the presence of the jury and competition participants.

The competition was launched in July by the Saudi 100 Brands Program -- an initiative of the Saudi Fashion Commission -- with the aim of encouraging sustainability within the field of fashion design and the Saudi fashion industry by highlighting the cultural and national heritage.

Specifically, it provided an opportunity for participants to submit unique fashion designs using a group of classic Swarovski crystals while integrating the features and elements of heritage and design art with Saudi culture.
The stages of the competition included allocating a virtual introductory meeting for participants about the objectives and requirements of the competition on August 26 and guidance workshops with Swarovski experts in Riyadh on September 2-4, in addition to individual virtual sessions to follow up on the work of participants. The participants' outputs were subject to arbitration by the jury, and the winner was chosen on September 25 at the Creative Residence under the Fashion Commission FCR headquarters. The winning designer receives a training opportunity at the headquarters of Dar Al-Hanouf Fashion in Jeddah, while the top five designers get to participate in an international academic competition by Swarovski called “Interpretation of the Swarovski SS 2025 Inspiration Theme Street Art in a Commercial Ready to Wear Outfit.”
The winner was Hebah Baatiyyah and the top five designers were Hebah Baatiyyah, Alanood Aljabeer, Lama AlHabashi, Rawan Alyami and Reem Bashawri.
