Nike has recently announced a potential 1% growth outlook for fiscal year 2024, down from previous projections. Despite the challenges, the company remains optimistic about its future, with analysts believing that much of the cost-cutting initiatives will be redirected towards marketing spending. This strategic move is expected to benefit the company in the long run, as evidenced by Bank of America upgrading Nike shares from ‘neutral’ to ‘buy’ for the first time in over two years.
In a recent event in Paris, Nike showcased new iterations of its Nike Air sneaker, highlighting its commitment to innovation. The unveiling included new models for athletes at the Olympics, a consumer model set to launch in 2025, and an AI-generated version co-created with athletes. Nike’s rich history and cultural collaborations were also on display, showcasing its influence and relevance.
As part of its major marketing push during the upcoming Olympics, Nike is taking advantage of relaxed rules from the International Olympic Committee through the Rule 40 pilot programme. This strategic shift aims to engage younger consumers and increase advertising opportunities for athletes during the games, ultimately driving traffic and boosting sales for Nike.
