Emerging brands like Hoka and On are beginning to compete against sneaker giant Nike.
Analysts say they're concerned Nike's over-distribution is leading to "lifestyle sneaker fatigue."
In four years, Hoka and On spent the equivalent of what Nike spends in two weeks.
"Running has been a competitive battlefield lately with more and more brands joining the market," Donahoe said, but Nike saw 10% growth for its running footwear business over the past year, he added.
"There is no newness coming out of Nike," Sam Poser, an analyst at Williams Trading said earlier this year.
