U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war is helping to push U.S. clothing and footwear acquisitions to all-time highs this year, with some companies merging to help offset tariff costs while others go private to weather the next 3-1/2 years of his presidency outside of the public market, dealmakers say.

When Dick's Sporting Goods announced in May that it would acquire U.S. sports giant Foot Locker for $2.4 billion, it caught the attention of both Wall Street and sneakerheads.

Foot Locker is now officially a part of Dick's Sporting Goods. Dick's announced Monday (Sept. 8) that it had concluded its $2.4 billion acquisition of the footwear and sporting goods chain. This purchase gives Dick's a greater piece of the sneaker market, as it now operates more than 3,200 stores, while positioning it to expand on an international basis.
