UGG previous category of footwear, Ugg classic has suffered a drastic decrease of its market value. According to Bloomberg, Deckers blamed the slow process of store traffic and mild weather for the low-graph of its demand.
However, last week, Powers admitted on a conference call that the brand devoted itself to manufacture more of a 'rugged-weather' footwear and casual shoes than going for more creative and comfortable traditional 'sheepskin-style' boots.
"Five years ago, traditional Ugg boots made up about 65 percent of the brand's total business," said Powers. "These days, that number is down to 25 percent."
