Nike is trying to act like a growth company again—while the world keeps taxing sneakers
TL;DR
Quick Summary
- Nike’s fiscal 2025 (ended May 31, 2025) showed real slippage: $46.3B revenue (down 10%) and a gross margin drop to 42.7% as discounts did heavy lifting.
- Fresh tariff uncertainty returned on February 23, 2026, with talk of 15% tariffs—awkward for a brand that manufactures a big share of footwear in Vietnam, Indonesia, and China.
- Nike’s reset is as much cultural as financial: CEO Elliott Hill (effective October 2024) is a signal the company wants sharper product and brand energy.
