Adidas has Runtastic, Under Armour has MyFitnessPal and Endomondo. The consolidation in the wearables market continues with the Japanese shoe giant ASICS acquiring Runkeeper.
The smartphone app was sold late last week; pricing was not disclosed.
Runkeeper, with 40 million users, was the last big independent running app, and ASICS was the last big running shoe maker without a major app platform. Runkeeper CEO Jason Jacobs noted in a blog post announcing the sale that the app’s users run the most in ASICS shoes.
