It’s no surprise the Nike brand doesn’t have the same impact it used to.

+1 to the post that mention that slack channel, people in there acting like they work on wall St. GIVE ME A FBREAK.
There are d-mbfu-ks giving and being pseudo intellectuals bs.
Seriously the amount of chatter, random threads, talking about stuff that shouldn't be even talked abt per NKE policies and then folks still rage baiting on it! FFS stop!
There have been numerous instances where folks have literally used president's names in putting some articles about "ohhh look how we are doomed" or "look how how much house pooor i am living in my 500k investment asset" and also to a certain extent "demand" nke should do something about leggings??! GTFO here you bunch of underpaid-under-appreciated wokeAF laborers.
Who is Nike’s customer these days? Was in an NFS store yesterday and the product was all awful, ghetto rap music blasting throughout the place.
Then the Super Bowl ad that seems to be making some confused point about women in sports.
Meanwhile Nike’s competitors all seem to have a vision that appeals to their target customers.
To delver the best footwear to the market you need an integrated and competent core of designers, developers, material specialists, pattern/tooling/chemical/product engineers, supply chain specialists, etc etc….. Said TEAM should also be on site at production facilities working hand in glove with the manufacturing partners. Nike has spent a decade plus purging those who actually got their hands dirty and replacing them digital warriors who may not have mastered the fundamentals. Going to be a long road ahead, finding a leader who then has to rebuild a truly great product team. My two cents.
For another data point about where we are as a company, just look at Slack. I swear, some people (and we all know who they are), spend countless hours on channels that are “personal” IYKYK. How bout you all create some value for Nike and help turn this ship around!
Your post has no vision. Be the change you’re waiting for
