I imagine whomever designed the specter nba jerseys that are getting trashed online will be next up for a promotion.

OMG. What an ugly new electric truck. Who in he-l would want to buy it.

If we had products people wanted to buy would we be in this situation? If we were selling products hands over fists, a lot of the issues we see today would be swept under the rug.

Placing the state of Nike right now solely on the whole innovation team for not creating or bringing to market anything that customers remotely want for the last I don’t know how many years. The last wave of Nike innovation was arguably 2017-2019 when we dropped zoomx/vaporfly/react?

I’d just wipe out that whole org, anyone a part of product design, product innovation, etc and start from scratch. Poach people from our competitors who are actually growing. Genuinely curious what people in product design/innovation have been doing the last 5+ years.

Come on, it been years since FP put out a great toy! Not sure who’s running design, but they should be held responsible.

Love this model. Such a great brand name!

Do we not have the d-mbest Product Marketing group in all the world? That entire group should be fired / WFRd for this colossal embarrassment. They flushed millions / billions in brand equity down the toilet. So Stupid!!

We should use AI to design our shoes, it has to be better than what’s come out recently. Tech will sell them for yah, if you make something worth selling!

Long time iPhone user but will have to leave because no longer can get a phone with Touch ID. Such a shame. I cannot use a phone with a front camera. I always cover it - as everyone should. Please bring the iphone Se back!!

UX people in product design. Few of you are next. - blur

Nike's apparel leadership is sleepwalking through a masterclass in mediocrity, churning out clothes that fit like a midlife crisis and feel like a betrayal of their own "Just Do It" mantra.

Earth to Beaverton: the market is screaming for fitted, functional, and actually wearable gear, but you're too busy peddling baggy, outdated designs that belong in a clearance bin at a discount store. Lululemon, Vuori, and Fabletics are eating your lunch because they get it consumers will pay for quality, fit, and style.

Meanwhile, Nike's stuck in a 90s time warp, dressing athletes like they're auditioning for a Kohl's sale rack.

Your 25.7 line was a half-hearted nod at progress, but it’s still a swing and a miss. Not everyone wants to drown in oversized fabric that screams "I gave up." Take a look at golf, poor Scottie Scheffler looks like he’s wearing a hand-me-down tent every weekend. Your "standard fit" polos are a joke, forcing players to tuck in yards of excess fabric just to avoid looking like they raided their dad’s closet. Golf shorts? Baggy, long, and about as flattering as a potato sack.

Running shorts are fine, congrats on getting one thing right but your golf joggers are an insult to anyone who values style or function. Sweats are not joggers, Nike. Get a grip.

Who’s modeling these designs? A team of couch potatoes who think "athleisure" means "loungewear for Netflix binges"? The market is begging for fitted cuts, premium materials, and sizing that doesn’t assume every customer is built like a linebacker.

Consumers are dropping serious cash on brands that respect their bodies and lifestyles. Lululemon’s stock is proof of that. Nike, you’re sitting on a goldmine of opportunity, but your apparel team is too busy sniffing their own fumes to notice. Step up, ditch the initio, or keep handing the apparel crown to brands that actually listen to the market.
