Nike to Lay Off 740 Employees at World Headquarters in Beaverton

Nike is set to lay off 740 employees at its world headquarters in Beaverton by June 28, as per a notice sent to state officials by the footwear and apparel giant. This decision comes as part of a broader restructuring effort announced in February, where Nike revealed its intention to reduce its global workforce by 2%. While the company did not specify the exact number of local cuts initially, it's now clear that around 1,600 jobs, including those from previous phases, will be affected.

Despite the workforce reduction, Nike remains focused on pursuing growth opportunities. According to Nike President and CEO John Donahoe, these strategic moves aim to position the company to capitalize on the increasing interest in sports, health, and wellness. Donahoe emphasized the importance of being proactive and leveraging the organization's strengths to seize potential areas of growth.

The restructuring follows Nike's announcement in December 2023 of a $2 billion cost-cutting and restructuring plan. This initiative, expected to incur significant pre-tax charges, underscores Nike's commitment to streamlining operations and optimizing resources to drive future success.

As Nike adapts to evolving market dynamics, it expresses gratitude for the contributions of all its employees. The company remains committed to maintaining its position as a global leader in the sportswear industry while navigating challenges and capitalizing on emerging opportunities.

Nike Nearing Endorsement Deal with Basketball Sensation Caitlin Clark, Sources Say

According to TheAthletic

Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark — the No. 1 pick in Monday’s WNBA draft — is nearing a lucrative, eight-figure endorsement deal with Nike, industry sources tell The Athletic.

Clark is expected to receive a signature Nike shoe as well, those sources said. Under Armour and Adidas also made sizable offers to Clark, two industry sources said.

Clark’s previous deal with Nike ended after the conclusion of the recently finished college basketball season, which allowed her to hit the market at the peak of her popularity. Clark was a supernova at the University of Iowa, breaking records and bringing new fans to college basketball. The women’s NCAA Tournament set viewership records with every game in which Iowa played, culminating in 18.9 million viewers for the Hawkeyes’ national title game loss to South Carolina.

The Fever drafted the 22-year-old Clark first overall in Monday’s draft. Interest in the draft was at an all-time high, and it also set viewership records, with more than four times as many viewers for this year’s draft (2.4 million) compared to last year, blowing away the previous record for the most-watched WNBA draft, set in 2004.

Clark was expected to land one of the most lucrative sneaker deals in the WNBA as sponsors have flocked to her in recent months and showed their desire to be in the Caitlin Clark business. She already has endorsement deals with Gatorade, State Farm and Panini.

Golden State’s Stephen Curry – who launched Curry Brand as a signature, standalone venture with Under Armour – participated in the companies‘ meeting with Clark, industry sources said. Curry Brand signed Kings star De’Aaron Fox as its first NBA athlete late last year, and inked University of South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley to a multiyear NIL deal, making her the first college athlete to partner directly with the company.

The last week showed just how in-demand and mainstream Clark has become. She made a guest appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” Then, WNBA draft ratings spiked. Fanatics said her jersey was the top seller for any draft pick on draft night in the company’s history. Ticket interest has also continued to surge.

At her post-draft news conference, Clark said turning professional hasn’t had a significant impact on how she is conducting any off-court business.

“If I’m being completely honest, I feel like it doesn’t change a ton from how I lived my life over the course of the last year,” she said. “Sponsorships stay the same. The people around me, agents and whatnot, have been able to help me and guide me through the course of the last year. I don’t know if I would be in this moment if it wasn’t for a lot of them.”

Let's go Caitlin!

Air Jordan 1 Hi '85 'Bred' Set for 2025 Release

Jordan Brand has announced the highly anticipated return of the iconic Air Jordan 1 "Bred" in its original Hi '85 form, set to release in 2025. The news, initially reported by Sneaker Files and zsneakerheadz, comes at a time when interest in the model has waned. Once the hottest shoe in the Air Jordan lineup, the Air Jordan 1 has seen a decline in popularity as consumer preferences shift towards technical running footwear, resulting in oversupply and diminished demand.

However, in what appears to be a nod to the model's 40th anniversary, Jordan Brand is bringing back the classic silhouette. The Air Jordan 1 Hi '85 is renowned as the brand's most faithful recreation of the original model, following the success of its "Lost & Found" colorway in 2022, a variation of the OG Air Jordan 1 "Chicago."

Named for its black and red color scheme, this iteration of the "Bred" will feature a full leather construction, a departure from its 2016 retro release, which included a "Satin" version in 2023 and a patent leather edition in 2021. The re-release is expected to forgo the artificially-aged detailing seen on the "Lost & Found" edition.

While an exact release date and pricing details have yet to be disclosed, enthusiasts are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates.
