Amazon has been ramping up its fashion efforts as of late, developing a slew of private brands. Its latest is a sportswear brand, which will reportedly be made by the same company that manufactures apparel for performance brands like Lululemon and Nike.

Amazon is expected to pass Macy's as the US' largest apparel seller this year, according to a Cowen & Co. note to investors from earlier this year. Its clothing and accessory sales are expected to grow nearly 30% next year, to $28 billion.
