Just in case you had any doubts, a new study confirms that teens love Nike

Investment bank Piper Jaffray has conducted research to determine the most popular brands for teens. The results revealed Nike as the leader for apparel across both high and average income levels.

The athletic brand dominated the survey with a 27 percent ranking, while the second most preferred brand was Forever 21 with only seven percent. American Eagle, Ralph Lauren, and Urban Outfitters rounded out the top five.

For the past five years that the bank has reported this study, Nike has claimed a top spot, according to Buzzfeed

Nike reigned supreme in the footwear category as well, beating brands like Vans and Converse. It also ranked as the second most popular shopping website, falling behind Amazon. 

Earlier this year, another study determined that Nike was also the most Instagrammed brand, which definitely doesn't hurt its popularity amongst the younger crowd.
