What's gone wrong at Nike? How the sportswear giant lost its mojo
Nike, once the undisputed leader in sportswear, is facing a significant decline in market dominance. Recent financial struggles, including a sharp drop in share price and removal from the S&P 100, highlight the consequences of strategic missteps, such as over-focusing on direct-to-consumer digital sales at the expense of product innovation. Under new leadership, the company is attempting a difficult turnaround. However, the loss of major athlete endorsements like Kylian Mbappé to emerging rivals like On and Hoka suggests that Nike must urgently rediscover its innovative spirit to remain relevant in a competitive global market.
