Nike Put DEI Ahead of Profits and Failed Historically – Will the Release of Caitlin Clark’s Shoes Save the Company?
Nike took way too long to put out the Caitlin Clark shoe. It looks like it would have been smarter to put it out much sooner. The stock price has plummetted and the company is no longer a member of the S&P 500.
Nike’s fall began when it made DEI a priority.
Nike has put on a clinic on…

Future generations of marketing classes will look back and ask how Nike could be so stupid.

As a result of forgetting that they were a business, they lost money, stock value, and fell out of the S&P 100.
🚨Nike went INSANELY WOKE and is now paying the price
Nike’s stock is down almost 80% since its record high in 2021.
Nike is now being REMOVED from the S&P 100 index after 18 years.
It seems Nike took every opportunity to push anti-American wokeness. From Colin Kaepernick… pic.twitter.com/uIqWLVyJDA

Fortunately, although they blundered this as well, the Caitlin Clark shoes may save Nike.
Nike says Caitlin Clark’s signature shoe needed time. Fine. Let’s look at the timelines.
From public signature-shoe announcement to retail:
Sabrina Ionescu: 169 days
Angel Reese: 329 days
A’ja Wilson: 360 days
Breanna Stewart: 492 days
Caitlin Clark: 891 days
And while Caitlin waited, Nike also found time to release Paige Bueckers player editions, including her GT Hustle 3 PE in 2024 and the “Shirley Buckets” GT Cut 4 in 2026. Paige’s first PE was announced on December 2 and hit retail five days later.
Why did the biggest commercial phenomenon women’s basketball has ever seen have to wait roughly 891 days for her signature shoe while everybody around her kept getting product to market?
Nike can defend the 891-day wait all it wants.
The stock chart certainly isn’t making the case that every strategic decision coming out of Beaverton was brilliant.

For the record, Aja Wilson’s shoes were a flop.
🚨 A’JA WILSON HAS THE LOUDEST FANS ON THE INTERNET… UNTIL IT’S TIME TO OPEN THEIR WALLETS😂😂🚨🚨🚨
All that arguing. All those think pieces. All that “GOAT” talk🤡🤡🤡
Meanwhile her signature shoes are sitting on shelves in multiple colorways like🎯🎯🎯🤷🏽♂️

There is hope for Nike.
But Caitlin Clark is one of the top names in sports, both in the US and internationally. She brought millions of new fans to the WNBA and is filling venues across the US and now Europe.
Clark’s new blue shoe will be released internationally.
🚨Seems Nike has started their international sneaker influencer rollout. Caitlin Clark 1 will be released Oct. 1! Offering worldwide shipping. Could this be the biggest release since the pair of LeBron shoes? 🔥 pic.twitter.com/0IO6EVf93x

Maybe Clark will create the same excitement with Nike that she has with women’s basketball.
You couldn't even melt me and pour me into a pair of Nikes
I STEAL MINE AND TAKE THE WHOOSH OFF. SOMETHING ABOUT STOLEN CHILD LABOR MAKE MY FEET FEEL WARM AND FUZZY…….OR IT COULD BE THE CHILDRENS TEARS & TOXIC CHINA CHEMICALS LEACHING INTO MY SKIN..;))
They'll probably screw it up and make sure to emphasize Caitlins commitment to honoring "the black women who built this sport."
If course they will. That company is so cooked with commies.
God Wills It!
Yes he does!
Nike, the I did nuffin shoe.
Blacks wont wear a white woman's sneakers, so no, it wont save them. Instead they should release George Floyd sneakers. ;)
With a little drop of Fenty in them
Don't forget the fake cash!!!
Saint George of Fentanyl.
Mayor Pete Buttgig is tired of waiting for these shoes, but he’s really going to be mad when he finds out that they don’t make a size that’s small enough for him.
Heck that's all every shoemaker makes=soy boy or mini-men sizes. You can never find men's sizes except in size 6 or maybe a 7.
I have worn size 12 to 12.5 US since I was about 14 y/o and all they stock is sizes for them little dancing boy things they promote and I guess for Guatemalans that are 5'1" tall.
Yeah, they make a few men's sizes but they sell out first week and all that's left is mini-men sizes.
I suspect this is accurate…
Nike wholeheartedly embraces dindu culture, and they view Clark as an object to be hated & hurt, rather than a heroine to be venerated.

Agreed. With all due respect I don't understand this obsession with Caitlin Clark. She's a leftist too. Why is TGP so obsessed with her?
Beats me, I like, Sophie.
It's the Hoft brothers.
Because she plays so much better than any other chicks, and she catches racism from the racists and lesbians.
It shows just how much they want the race war! We can figure it out on our own but they don't want that! FUNIKE…..I have nothing with your gaye hook on it!
CC capitulated to the left once but shut up since. Now she’s letting her play speak.
Actually it is the TOOTS obsessed with her, And the Gold Diggers flock with the Toots.
The biggest question is…will millions of teen boys want to repeatedly buy a pair of a female athletes shoes?
Otherwise how long can demand last?
Does Nike think teen boys are going to show up anywhere and hear the taunts of "Oh you got your Caitlyn's on?
I can't see that happening.
More Girls in the LIEbral world. Even Boys IDentify as girls.
Well…. I saw a game where the Nikes came flying off during the game. Wouldn't call that quality made,
You couldn't even melt me and pour me into a pair of Nikes
DEI was not the cause of the stock price fall. Joe Hoft is a liar.
What was?
Not DEI. Every other sports manufaturing company is down by the around same amount. Many companies that embraced DEI are more profitable.
Also Biden is sharp
Your analysis is silly.
Who's to say the other companies are not woke
Only 760 votes? Not been in the jr. trolls long? Quit watching the cartoon channel for your news….for once. Getting DELISTED from the financial markets is SERIOUS BUSINESS and it shows the company could not escape BANKRUPTCY.
NIKE cooked its own goose by going woke. People are fed up with the political correctness and the dissing of America's culture. NIKE was manufactured with unskilled, SLAVE-LABOR wages IN CHINA. Screw the CCP, which is dest roying everything it touches….for the benefit of world-takeover and domination. Pay attention….for once.
Accusation without example is merely name calling.

Far Left Propaganda is not compelling
Berkley is an extreme Socialist Institution
Read the detailed analysis in the report. Don't be lazy.
They said Biden is sharp
Covid Wet Markets
SPLC is anti Nazi
All lies
Who are they and what does that have to do with you not wanting to look at the evidence of my post.
Democrats : The Party of :
War
Slavey
Anti Semitism
Baby Abortion
Again that has nothing to do with my post. No counter point from you. Moving on.
It proves you a liar
In your mind yes. But out here there are points and counter points. You have provided no counter point and nothing of value. My point stands. Not DEI.
Sure I have
Berkley wont allow Republican point of view
Read the report. Don't be afraid of data and scientific methodology.
Read the Socialist Lies
And troll indoctrination. Witness the dumbarse OP.
Your what hurts?
Nothing hurts. What are you looking at?
It hurt Blacks when Democrats aborted 10,000,000s Black Babies
Wow those democrats are quite the bad bunch.
We already know you dont care
And you are a mind reader as well. MAGA is lucky to have you as a brave keyboard warrior.
Your snarky remark about Black baby genocide made mind reading unnecessary. We understand you
You are hilarious. That you for the laugh.
Nothing funny about Democrat kkk murdering 1000s of Blacks
or Democrat Planned Parenthood murdering 100,000,000 Black babies
You are hilarious. You.
Cherokee Genocide …Jackson Democrat
Mexican War ………Polk Democrat
Civil War ………..Davis Democrat
Spanish War……….Congress Democrat
WW1 ……………..Wilson Democrat
WW2 ……………..FDR Democrat
Korea ……………Truman Democrat
Vietnam ………….LBJ Democrat
ISIS War …………Obama Democrat
Ukraine ………….Biden Democrat
Trump killed over 180 school children recently. Put that on your list.
A Democrat dropped Atomic Bombs on cities, melting 140,000 women and children
Yup American leaders on both sides are responsible for a lot war and death. No wonder most of the world views America as the greatest threat to world peace. Try not screwing up the world so much. Now back to the point. DEI does not cause company revenue to fall as outlined in the report I cited that you cannot read.
The difference is the Democrat targeted women and children
Americans killed from :
Democrat wars : Over 1,000,000
Trump wars ……: 18
Trump targeted women and children.
Fabrication is the 2nd sign of a losing argument.
Why did Democrats run 100 years of Jim Crow racism
I guess you lost the argument then. I will leave you to wallow in your ignorance and emptiness.
Democrat Leader Jim Jones campaigned with Rosalynn Carter and then murdered 900 Blacks with poison
"Democrat Leader Jim Jones" another one. Hilarious. Thank you again for the laughs. You are making my day brighter.
Jones campaigned with Rosalynn Carter and Jerry Brown
Why did registered Florida Democrat Omar Mateen murder 49 Gay Americans and then his family campaigned with Hillary in 2016
Get lost, Marxist fool.
Anyone that says anything I don't like is a Marxist.
Only Marxists push Berkley Marxism
Only idiots think that Berkley = Marxism.
Berkley Wont even allow Republican point of view
Tell that to the Berkeley College Republicans.
Yes
They watched Berkley riot over Republican speakers and University Police enforce trespass
They still got their point of view across didn't they.
Lie
They were not allowed to speak
Wrong.
Republicans and conservative speakers were not outright banned from speaking at UC Berkeley, but several high-profile student-led events were canceled, restricted, or faced severe administrative hurdles due to intense security concerns and violent protests.
You can't stop lying can you?
UC Berkeley settles lawsuit over treatment of conservative speakers

She signed with freaking Nike??!!
I hope she got her money up front. The company was DELISTED from the stock exchange which means it is filing for bankruptcy.
All those SLA VE-LABOR wages paid to CHINESE WORKERS who put in 12 hour days to make ends meet ARE ENDING. Nike is shutting down factories in China.
She’s a leftist idiot, of course wears Nike.
DEI =
DIVIDE
EXCLUDE
INCITE
Well, Caitlin Clark is a hardcore, America-hating Kamalho dSA lib who has no problem with men in women's sports – SO, her lib comrades might buy her shoes (at least the Planned Parenthood abortion pink version).
Nike has been losing ground the last two years. Woke and capitalism, do not walk hand in hand.
Not true.
democracypolicylab DOT Berkeley DOT edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/folsz_grumbach_dei.pdf
2026- 46.00
2012 – 22.00
2021- 137.00
SO FROM A PEAK OF 2021 ISH IT HAS LOST 67% OF ITS VALUE. PURE ON A STOCK FINANCIAL CHOICE NO ENDORSEMENT OF NIKE I WOULD
LET IT FALL TO 30-35 AND BUY. SHORTING NOW IS A LIL RISKY BUT GOOD FOR A DAY TRADE PLAN FOR ABOUT 3 WK/21 DAY INTERVALS.
MAJOR CORPS HAVE BEEN TANKING STOCKS OVER THE LAST 8-10 YEARS TO NEW LOWS AND THE SMART ONES BUY IN JUST BEFORE IT TURNS UP. NIKE WILL BE AROUND FOR A WHILE MERELY ON BRANDING NOT QUALITY.
Rather, woke and success run in the opposite direction.
They are still on my boycott list.
THEY WERE NEVER ON MY BUY LIST. AS A MATTER OF FACT I THINK COKE IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE BOYCOTTED I EVER USED AND THEN I QUIT DRINKING RUM SO PROBLEM SOLVED. ;))
BUT – sometimes you have that rusted piece of junk that needs treatment.
READ THE OTHER DAY. 71 YO WOMAN HAD A TUMOR FROM A GLP1 DRUG SIDE EFFECT. CURE: 40+ OZ COKE PER DAY FOR 10 DAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE TREATMENT WORKED.
THESE SOMETHING WRONG HERE THERES SOMETHING VERY VERY WRONG HERE!.
I quit coke when they went Plastic and LIED about changing the formula.
Isn't this same song second verse?
Most girls don't give two bleeps about girls' basketball. This won't move the needle. As far as the customers that Nike lost, we are gone forever. They could fire all of their executives and hire Trump to run the company, I still wouldn't buy their products.
Nike ignored Michael Jordan's advise : Republicans buy shoes too
I like Clark… but I’ll never spend one thin dime on anything nike.
SHE IS NIKE
Anyone who buys Nike brand equipment supports the use of slaves. I’ve never owned anything Nike in my adult life. I won’t buy Levi because they are against our 2nd amendment.
In the '70's I had a pair of their waffle-soled shoes which were yellow for running but never, never again.
I'm convinced: no one loves Caitlin Clark more than Joe Hoft.
Woke and corrupt Nike makes very overpriced crap made by slave labor. Let them go under!
"Save" is a relative term. It will "save" some losses.
Ummmmmm. What about CLARK?????
She's ASSOCIATED HERSELF with this woke shitttttt for MONEY. So she deserves to be screwed in the profits department JUST AS MUCH AS NIKE. You CANT SEPARATE the two on this.
She should make a deal with me and start our new shoe company – I've got the perfect name and the perfect tag line.
How about Woke Go Broke???
Anyone who buys Nike or supports both the woke WNBA & woke Clark need to have their craniums examined for any brain mass. And that includes the author who’s obviously obsessed with the latter.
You should not read anything produced by a Hoft. Get off this low IQ MAGA site ASAP.
The problem with Nike is you can't fix stupid
That why Marxists trolls love them.
No, you'll just find out 99.9% of people don't care about the WNBA.
This is exactly what they deserve.
Who cares. She is enthralled with the DEI nonsense herself. Never have bought Nike, there are better alternatives available.
Nothing can save Nike.
Nike new Logo = You wasted your money, now what?
Answer – Nope
Not only does she refuse to defend herself, she attacks anyone who comes to her defense. So I'm done with her. Plus girls don't hold sneakers in the same esteem as boys, so good luck nike.
Short answer, no.
Sophie Shoes will sell. Catyln is a liberal.
Yup.
I like Cunningham too. Except for that once that CC sploke, haven’t heard her go left since. She keeps playing and keeping her mouth shut despite the hard fouls.
Nike doesn't want to put out the Caitlin Clark edition shoe. Their woke board of directors is quite obviously waiting for Clark to be forced out of the league and into obscurity.
I like Caitlin but would NEVER buy another pair of Nikes. Go BROKE NIKE!
Nike can go suck-it!
No. Of course not. Clark is just as woke as Nike. Clark is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
No.
maybe it all goes broke
Her White guilt kills me. I'll NEVER buy anything she can kiss ass while they have her on her knees
She's also woke.
I don't know about Caitlins shoes but if they offered Sophie Cunninghams shorts, that might be another matter.
She had to chance to take a stand like Cunnigham did. She blew it. Who wants to wear the shoes of a girl who won't stand up for her self and is a DEI woke Stockholm Syndrome victim?
Keep dreaming, Hoft.
They are desperate. Slave labor plastic and rubber. And now they want to capitalize on the drama the WNBA brings us. Sorry, ain't buying…..(of course I never bought NIKE in the first place).
Were I Miss Clark, I would sign with Bubba's Brogans before I would sign with Nike.
Angel Reese shoes were made but chicks couldn't keep their feet in them and kept trying by rebounding…….
The groupie culture is alive and (un)well.
Look at "her" features…it's a GUY
I hope not..F nike!
sorry Caitlin..
Nike should hire Dylan Mulvaney.
I am surprised that Nike hasn't released the Brittney Griner MEN'S shoe collection
i hope nike, the wnba, and all those clowns all go BK. just go away.
Who wants her now, She never spoke up or even fought for herself, Sophie had to do it!
Now that the shoe is on the other foot, they have to hold their tongues and play the heel.
The other shoe has dropped and now they are going to walk a mile in the shoes of those who tried to warn them.
I can see libturd soy boys wanting to swish around in a pair of Caitlin shoes.
Clark has become one of them. Her endorsements mean more than anything.
"Clark’s new blue shoe will be released internationally"
Hopefully, coinciding with her moving to Europe.
It might help if they would admit what a woman is.
I hope not.
What a fat tub of lard. Disgusting.
I don't hear Clark complaining. If Clark wants to make money from shoes she can go to a company that thinks they can make good money off it.
I hope not, I want Nike to go under.
A this point I don't think shoe sales is going to help
OWN THE FLOOR
If that tub of lard falls she will break the floor.
She needs to send woke nike packing.
The only time that fat tub of lard moves is when she is at a buffet and her mouth moves.
Adidas is being Boycotted Big Time sor supporting israel
I am not giving Nike any money, I hope they go out of business.
The boycott continues. Too many other, much better alternatives when it comes to sneakers/athletic wear. You couldn’t pay me to soil my feet in a pair of nasty Nikes!
It's ironic that a White, straight, Christian woman may quite possibly bail Nike out of their DEI nightmare! Of course they did so kicking and screaming all the way but finally had to acquiesce!
Clark is a die hard lib, that is why she isn't complaining.
Daily simp story from the Hoft brothers regarding this woke dunce Kaitlin Clark.
I enjoy the "Uyghurs" line of Nike shoes!
Wrong. Nike is still a member of the S&P 500. They were delisted from the S&P 100.
Find yourself someone who loves the WNBA as much as Joe Hoft.
May Nike and Wokelin Clark go down together.
Put another swoosh in the coffin. Nike is dead.
NIKE is finished. Even the sl ave labor factories in China and SE Asia are shutting down. Clark was outed for having caved to the cabal and accepted DEI along with men in women's sports. She cut herself off at the knees. People are done with woke.
Cathy Engelbert is retiring as president of WNBA after 7 1/2 years at the helm. AP lauded her for the increase in income for players and getting chartered flights. All accomplished within the last three years. No mention of Clark in article, naturally.
Caitlin Clark chose NOT to stand up for girls/women’s sports against allowing trans males, and she chooses NIKE…2 big mistakes. AMERICANS are DONE with NIKE !!!
Even if I could afford it, I still wouldn't buy NIKE shoes or invest in the company.
But I can't afford it. I need to think about what food I can afford instead of putting what's left of my bank account into a name brand for my feet.
Priorities.
When are the Brittney Griner men's shoes dropping?
Clark is a dumb Moonbat who supported Cumala.
Oh yea, she plays bakabal …
Blacksketball?
You mean Thug ball? Wow I didn't get moderated. We can now say THUG.
Hope globalist cabal Nike goes bankrupt.
I think it looks like a nice shoe. Who will be able to afford them though?
NOT A CHANCE, INVESTORS ALREADY KNOW THE TRAJECTORY
THE CONSUMER IS BANKRUPT
AND THE PAPER MONEY IS NO GOOD.
NOT A CHANCE, INVESTORS ALREADY KNOW THE TRAJECTORY
THE CONSUMER IS BANKRUPT
AND THE PAPER MONEY IS NO GOOD.
The stink of woke is all over this tennis shoe company.
Don't believe many black folks or lesbians will buy them lol… and normal white folks are not huge fans of the racist LGBTQNBA…
I couldn't care less about Nike or Clark. They're both half-wit lefties.
Have you noticed that the whole marketing team consists out of women? Do you think that has anything to do with it?
Yeah, like anything women touch turns to sheit.
I hope she got paid in advance and she doesn't have an exclusive contract. I'm not giving them my money.
Eventually Caitlin will be so rich, she can leave the ?NBA jackasses flat…..
Clark might be the best player who is an actual woman, but Nike shoes are too narrow and they don't make Men's 15's or 16's usually. I'd never even consider them, especially with price. There are only a few basketball shoes that fit the bill anyway, so to speak.
No.
Hope not!
ASICS are my go to
Chucks are MY favorite.
My question would be, why would Clark want to be associated with the liberal leftist trash Nike corporation anyways?!
NO
Nike should just allow Taco Bell to buy them out, let Taco Bell absorb them in, and stop making shoes, and start making tacos that are shaped like shoes.
The only thing that can save Nike is selling shoes. Nike’s problem is they make shoes but they don’t sell shoes. They sell woke BS that nobody’s buying. Not at the store. Not on the stock exchange.
Unfortunately, from what I've come across, Caitlin seems just as woke as the others.
NOPE.
NO
NO
Can't blame her for getting a pay check, but, Nike is dead to me
Just to annoy angel reese, you betcha. lol
After they are taken off, the Caitlin Clark sneakers will just roll over and sit there, soles up.
So Nike's hanging their hopes on these new shoes in the hopes that WNBA market penetration is deep enough to generate enough sales to save their company? Yah, right. They can call them "Error Jordans."
I haven’t bought any Nike stuff since Kaperdick and I won’t buy any of Clark’s stuff either. When she bent over for the woke crowd I was done with her. If she had stood her ground I would have bought her stuff for my granddaughter.
No, Caitlin will not save them. Courageous Sophie would, but not Chicken Caitlin.
Only YOU care jimmy…hehehe
If Nike is banking on me to buy a pair then sorry nikie, go broke, you've gone way to woke.
THEY don't care about proffits. Majority of stock is controlled by Investment frims who are controlled by da International Bankster Scum behind da Curtain and THEY want Western Civilization to collapse.
.
Clark should have some pride and went with another shoe company!
.
I have ZERO sympathy for her!
The only reason why this shoe brand took off in the early 80's was because of the Journey concert in Houston that was on MTV in 1981. Steve Perry was wearing a pair of those famous white Nike's with the red "swoosh" and all the kids thought that was cool. In with a few weeks, a lot of high school kids were wearing them.
Then they got more traction with their brand when Michael J Fox wore the same design of Nike in Back to the Future that was released in 1985. And just like before, kids were buying them because "they're cool." And from those two moments, the brand grew in popularity.
If it was any other athletic shoe brand in those two moments, Nike wouldn't be where they are today.
SAME THING VANS SHOES DID…CHECKERBOX SHOES WERE MUST HAVES..THEN ALONG CAME FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT AND EVERY POSER VALLEY PUTZ ON EARTH JUST NEEDED A PAIR.
BUT TRUTH BE TOLD IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULD BE A RETIRED SHOE SALESMEN.
John McEnroe wearing them on the court had a lot to do with it. I didn't know any kids who thought Journey was cool. It was Ozzy and Van Halen.
Leftist don't like giving money to any individual period. This is how these athletes make big bank with the endorsements.
Caitland will get paid for the endorsements regardless…..
WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD BOYCOTT THE ROT…..NIKE BELONGS IN THAT CATEGORY!
She sucks for allowing it. I hope she gets beat worse by that league.
People might enjoy the WNBA sideshow in the same way they scroll through "fail" shorts on Instagram, but I just don't think many would shell out their hard-earned cash for sport shoes with some chick's name on them.
Well, we won't be buying any just like anything (NIKE) since the kneeler racist thug got NIKE $$$ and support after he quit on his teammates and contract.
It is the investors who lost, not Nike
Word is that Nike will be releasing a limited edition Angel Reese shoe on the same day. Here's an early look at the shoes…
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b9911545eb2d5b2d5bca5d92a303316684d1e6fc848717f3a2047ed57b643d37.png
I don’t care who they put on their cruddy shoes… NEVER AGAIN NIKE!
Tried Nike shoes, never fit, never owned, never will.
I don't like her that much to buy Nike
You're joking
Never Ever Nike
Catlyn,
big mistake signing with Nike who advised you on this???
I think this move lost some supporters
better to sue the WNBA
Will they be black?
KEDS use to cost a couple bucks….who is dumb enough to spend $100 or more for a pair of sneakers? Oops, we know that answer. For shoes that have a manufacturing cost of less than $5.00. I would prefer to run in crocs (check prices in Asia BTW…not the US where they run $30.00…where crocs cost a couple dollars). The alternative…..barefoot…like our ancestors from a long time ago (and some tribes still).
Short answer: No, Nike won't be saved by Caitlyn shoes. They'll have a sales spike and that's about it. Clark has been mum about men in women's sports, unlike her BFF Sophie Cunningham, whose vocal public comments have her now facing ejection from the WNBA. The Woke left has no tolerance for white, straight females. [Edit: They fully endorse the trans farce as well]. Clark will thrive fine walking in political silence, with the multi-million-dollar endorsements she's received from different companies (Nike, Capitol One, Gatorade, etc.). As long as she keeps her political mouth shut, she even has a coaching or acting career possible after she leaves the court.
Nope. Nike failed basic Darwin. No coming back from that.
I might, if they make shoes in the USA.
I know what the Hoft Brothers will be gifting each other for Christmas.
Why would Caitlyn go with a woke company like Nike to begin with???
It would be funny though, watching Nike try to explain how a straight white girl, saved their —- bacon!!!
Im looking forward to seeing it!!!
NO. Nike lost all honor and respect after going directly against common sense and reason. That is why NIKE is no longer listed in the top 100 corporations. Their overall value has diminished to less than 30% of what the corporation used to be worth. Just look at their stocks value and see for yourself. Their currect value PROVES, "GO WOKE! GO BROKE!" Also, proving that the DEI FINKS pushing their unreasonable lack of common sense ignorance are-in-fact COMMUNISTS in their heartless-hearts and mindless-minds.
Let the consequences take charge and do what needs to be done.
This Caitlin witch is a sell out. I don't feel sorry for her one bit, after kneeling for the woke perverts. Die Nike. Just do it.
nikes make my feet hurt — last Nike Air i owned were golf shoes i bought in the 80s — put on new spikes, cleanted them up, traded them for a Plop Putter
It’s astonishing to me that people purchase articles of clothing or footwear because someone famous endorses it. It’s so pathetic. Humans are so strange.
No, nothing can save Nike.
Is this a serious question? I mean really? Clark’s signature shoes? Is this a joke? Nobody cares about the WNBA. These shoes will go over like a fart in church. Sell your Nike stock while you can folks.
I barely wanted to even comment on this hilarious joke let alone shell out $200 dollars for a pair of shoes that don’t mean a damn thing.
Basketball is dominated by Black players. Who’s going to buy a white girls shoe?
Nike shoes aside, Caitlin Clark is the WNBA's golden goose, and for some 'strange' reason, they're doing their best to kill it, which is a sign of peak stupidity.
I don't care if God himself had a shoe from nike I still would not buy it, and you should not either and shame on her for supporting the same people who hate her being WHITE and STRAIGHT
Will NIKE be saved …
depends on how many sheepy tv advert goaded idiots give the NIKE exec.s their money for the disposable trendy shoes.
NOPE! Nike is woke, woke has consequences.
No offense but I'll stick with Sophie.
Nike is a does not exist thing.
Why wouldnt want shoes to help you play basketball like a girl?
I won't let anyone in my family near her shoes….Nike or non brand. Caitlin Clark just happens to be their focal point but she us as Woke as the worst.
Stephon Marbury released a line of affordable shoes as did Shaq. She should do that
Hmmm… Adults not buying, So target the kids? So….. Who has the money? I thought Japanese were supposed to be smart? Did China buy them out?
Nothing can be put in fornt of profits in this Capitalist system.
I'm sorry to inform you all, Nike is deceased. Defeated by a bunch of woke globalist. Carry On!
I wouldn't by a pair of Nike shoes if they were endorsed by JC himself.
And I'm shocked they want to sell me a Caitlin Clark White Privilege shoe! Shocked I tell you!
Screw woke Nike.
