Nike’s falling sales and stock fuel debate over its brand and market position

Marketplace reports that Nike has lost market share, posted falling revenue for several quarters, expects further sales declines, and plans to become smaller with workforce reductions.[1]

PBD Podcast’s Patrick Bet-David points to Nike’s falling stock and Kylian Mbappé signing a 10-year, $210 million deal with On Cloud instead of Nike, Adidas, or Puma.[2]

PBD Podcast’s Adam Sosnick uses Nike alongside Disney and Bud Light as an example of brands he says went woke and went broke.[3]

Other shows discuss Nike as a business case or cultural reference: Scott Galloway recalls it once representing 22% of his company’s business, while Jason Calacanis recommends studying its history for founders.[4][5]

The Vault Unlocked focuses on Nike’s basketball marketing and storytelling around LeBron, Kobe, and KD, while Planet Money mentions Nike only as part of a past era of giant-brand rivalries.[6][7]
