À propos de cet audio
Nike has been in the spotlight for several major moves this week. The company electrified the sports fashion world with its announcement of the 2025 NFL Rivalries uniforms, unveiled in partnership with the NFL. According to nike.com newsroom, these uniforms are rooted in each team’s local legacy and will debut with selected AFC East and NFC West teams, starting with exclusive home games before hitting retail shelves September 10. Nike’s focus on connecting communities through sport feels especially timely heading into football season.
Not all the headlines were celebratory though. The Economic Times reports Nike announced plans for fresh layoffs targeting less than one percent of its corporate staff, a move described as part of a broader “realignment” to deepen its focus on sport culture and cross-functional teams. The layoffs won’t touch Converse or EMEA, but with 77800 employees globally as of May, the mood in Oregon is tense. This comes on the heels of previous cost-cutting rounds and ongoing strategies to reduce reliance on China for US market production—an adjustment to shifting tariffs and demand.
In the business arena, Nike’s stock whiplash won’t go unnoticed by Wall Street watchers. AInvest highlighted a dramatic 3.35 percent intraday drop bringing the share price to a 52-week low of 74.39. This slide came even as institutional investors increased their stakes, while chairman Mark Parker liquidated over 11 percent of his holding, a move that’s stirred speculation over executive confidence. June’s earnings revealed an 11.9 percent revenue dip and a staggering 85.9 percent drop in quarterly EPS, but analysts at Elkhart Coop argue Nike’s recent uptrend—boasting a 25.9 percent gain in the last quarter—might indicate investors still smell long-term opportunity despite persistent volatility.
Sneaker fans, get your wallets ready. Hypebeast announced the Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low Fall 2025 collaboration, featuring five fresh colorways—the coveted Blue, Purple, and Green versions dropping only in North America, Europe, and Asia, respectively, starting September 4. Meanwhile, sneakerfiles.com and Sneaker News tease a September 6 release for the Air Max 95 “Neon” 30th anniversary edition and the Sabrina 3 “Silencer,” rumored to celebrate Sabrina Ionescu’s clutch Olympic heroics.
On the digital front, according to Metricool, Nike’s influence on Instagram continues to dominate, as their blend of athlete stories, inspirational product drops, and community-driven narratives keeps hundreds of millions engaged—amplifying every launch and headline globally. This week, it’s clear Nike is threading innovation and resilience, navigating shifting markets and cultural moments while their next sneaker drop and uniform unveil are about to set social feeds on fire.
