| Dimension | MOATE | Community |
|---|---|---|
| Switching costsweight 15Nothing stops a customer from buying On or Hoka tomorrow. | 2 | — |
| Network effectsweight 15None. Sneaker culture is social, but the value does not compound inside Nike. | 3 | — |
| Scale & cost advantageweight 12Sourcing, manufacturing, and marketing scale no upstart can match. | 7 | — |
| Brand & pricing powerweight 12A top-tier global brand; pricing power is real but has softened under discounting. | 9 | — |
| Cornered resourceweight 12Athlete contracts, the Jordan franchise, and decades of design IP. | 6 | — |
| Distribution controlweight 12Pulled back from wholesale, lost shelf space, and is now rebuilding it. | 5 | — |
| Disruption resilienceweight 12Losing share to focused challengers is the live problem. | 4 | — |
| Independenceweight 10Few dependencies; tariffs and sourcing geography are the main exposure. | 7 | — |
