Nike CEO reveals plans for 2025 in surprise U-turn for shoppers and gives scathing assessment after sales dip

NIKE’S CEO, Elliott Hill, is wasting no time by addressing the challenges facing the sportswear giant.

Following a disappointing 8% revenue drop in Q2, Hill, who took over the role in October, laid out an ambitious plan to rejuvenate the brand on Thursday.

"London, United Kingdom - April 22, 2011: Nike store logo located in central London, near Covent Garden. The Nike Swoosh logo hanging from a house wall. Nike is a global sports clothes and running shoes retailer. Nike stores are located all over London. Covent Garden is a famous shopping area and tourist hot-spot."
The earnings call took place on Thursday

In his plan, Hill outlined a new strategy.

This new approach focuses on rebuilding partnerships with wholesale collaborators, boosting investments in brand storytelling, as well as strengthening local market teams. 

The measures aim to reverse the downward trend and restore Nike’s position as a market leader.

The company reported Q2 revenues of $12.4 billion, which is down from $13.4 billion during the same period last year. 

But that wasn’t all.

Declines were seen across the board. Nike’s direct revenue fell 13% and wholesale revenues slipped by 3%.

Net income also dropped significantly, down 26% to $1.2 billion.

THE PROBLEM

During Hill’s first earnings call as CEO, he didn’t shy away from sharing hard truths. 

He criticized Nike for losing sight of its core identity, citing an overreliance on a limited range of popular products and insufficient investment in brand development.

The CEO also cited a centralization of resources that neglected key cities and markets as a major issue.

“We need to get back to the basics of sport and strengthen our emotional connection with consumers,” Hill told analysts. 

“The consistent feedback we’ve heard is pretty simple: Let’s see more of Nike being Nike,” Hill said.

LOOKING FORWARD

The CEO further shared, “Some partners and channels feel we’ve turned our back on them, and we stopped engaging consistently.”

Hill emphasized that the retailer would focus its attention on earning the trust of its wholesale partners once again as well as rebuilding those important relationships.

In an effort to move proactively, Hill explained that he’d spoken to many of the brand’s wholesale partners directly.

This includes the likes of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Foot Locker, and JD Sports, as well as major sports organizations like the NBA.

Rebuilding relationships with wholesale partners will help to reestablish a balanced distribution network.

While greater investment in brand storytelling aims to rekindle consumer enthusiasm.

Needham analyst Tom Nikic said, “While fundamentals will be very challenged in the near term, we believe that it takes a back seat to the narrative, which is that of a veteran athlete coming out of retirement to pull his once-proud team out of the dumps.”

The CEO’s willingness to confront the company’s shortcomings head-on and proactively pivot may signal a new chapter for the iconic brand.

Earlier this year, Nike revealed its futuristic-looking footwear that massages your feet and even heats up while you’re wearing them.

Meghan Markle & Harry are desperate to stay in spotlight – insulting royals is a waste of their time, claims expert

MEGHAN Markle and Harry are desperate to remain in the spotlight so insulting the royals is a waste of their time, an expert has claimed.

Broadcaster and royal biographer Hugo Vickers called the latest ceasefire a “very good strategy”, as the couple’s tirade against their family was becoming “unpopular”.

Harry and Meghan have not given any more tell-all interviews like the ones which followed “Megxit” in 2020.

This could be because their views have “lost mileage”, said Hugo.

Stepping away from old habits might also allow the couple to focus on more “positive” things.

He told The Sun: “They’ve realized that it wasn’t getting anywhere, because it was causing so much trouble.”

The expert also claimed that for Harry and Meghan money will be at the forefront of their minds.

Remaining in the limelight and adjusting their behaviour accordingly is therefore important to the couple.

He said: “In order to earn a lot of money, they have to sometimes be controversial if you like.

“Or things which will keep themselves in the public eye.”

When asked about the King‘s relationship with his son, Hugo said he thought it was salvageable but would require compromise.

“He’s [Harry] the one who needs to pull himself together and extend the olive branch because he is the one making it difficult between them,” he said.

But he added healing old wounds probably wasn’t at the top of the monarch’s list of priorities.

And a reunion between the feuding father and son is unlikely in the near future.

He believes this is because Harry attracts too much publicity – which deflects attention from the King.

He said: “The most successful members of the royal family are the ones who support the King in what he’s doing, and they don’t compete with him.”

This comes as it was reported the couple are tipped to have new shows on Netflix next year – which could mean more publicity interviews.

Harry has just released a behind-the-scenes documentary about the world of polo.

Meghan is expected to release a show tied in with her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.

The Sussexes have been contacted for comment.

How Saudi doctor’s three-minute rampage unfolded as five including child, 9, killed after as attacker hit crowd at 40mph

THE driver who ploughed through a Magdeburg Christmas market killed five people in just three minutes.

Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, is suspected of driving a rented black BMW into the packed festive scene in horror scenes on Friday night.

One of the five dead is a nine-year-old as another 205 holiday revellers now deal with injuries sustained from the rampage.

The attack began at 7.02pm local time when the rental was driven off a car-friendly road and onto Breiter Weg, a street that just carries light rail.

He is believed to have hit several pedestrians here before quickly turning right onto Alter Markt.

The car was travelling at up to 40mph when he first smashed into people, horrified witnesses said.

The Magdeburg Christmas market ran down Alter Markt, a relatively narrow pedestrianised road that opens into a square.

The street had no bollards at its entrance as city authorities had wanted it to be able to be used by emergency services.

Alter Markt was packed with revellers enjoying the Christmas market stalls.

The BMW hurtled down the street hitting the revellers, leaving five dead and 205 injured.

CCTV footage captured the moment locals were slammed into by the car and they were thrown onto the ground.

Some dived out of the way as they desperately tried to dodge the flying motor.

Witnesses said the ground was covered in blood and tinsel as doctors scrambled to treat the injured.

The car went “through people” and sent others “going over it”, a man standing just feet away from the crash added.

Soon after, emergency services received the first calls and cops and rescue workers rushed to the scene.

The car then took the next right, travelling down another wing of the Christmas market back towards the main street.

Suspect Taleb al-Abdulmohsen then took another right onto the main road Ernst-Reuter-Allee.

The car managed to only travel about 50m before cops stationed nearby stopped it and arrested the Saudi refugee with guns pulled.

By 7.08pm, the first rescue teams had arrived to treat the injured.

Germany has been left in shock by the rampage as it evoked memories of terror attacks and fears of copycat efforts.

Taleb, a Saudi citizen who arrived in Germany in 2006 and had worked as a doctor, is thought to have acted alone.

The suspected attacker has no known links to Islamist extremism – his posts online appear to suggest he had instead been highly critical of Islam.

Taleb is said to have stayed at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg numerous times in November and December which is where he may have prepared the crime, according to Spiegel.


It comes as…

  • Five confirmed dead, including one toddler
  • Over 200 injured with dozens in a critical condition
  • Suspect named as Saudi doctor Taleb A
  • Taleb was allegedly under the influence of drugs when arrested
  • Police issue UK terror warning over fears of “copycat strike”
  • Harry Kane leads tributes to victims
  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz speaks on tragedy

One witness who gave her name as Nadine said her boyfriend Marco was ripped out of her arms when he was hit by the car.

She told Bild: “He was hit and pulled away from my side. It was terrible.

“Nobody even screamed. You couldn’t hear the car either.”

Marco had injuries to his leg and head: “We don’t know which hospital he went to. The uncertainty is unbearable.”

Officials fear the number of deaths could rise in the coming hours.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived in Magdeburg today and addressed a large crowd in the heartbroken city.

He described the events as “a terribly, tragic incident” as he confirmed five people have been confirmed as dead so far.

Scholz said: “What a terrible act it is to injure and kill so many people there with such brutality.

“Almost 40 are so seriously injured that we must be very worried about them.

“It is important that nothing remains uninvestigated, that every stone is turned,” he added.

In 2016, a Tunisian man, who had links to Islamic State, drove a truck into crowds gathered at a church market in Berlin, killing 12 and injuring 49 others.

Two years later, a gunman opened fire on a Christmas market in the eastern French city of Strasbourg, killing five and injuring another 11 people.

Major illegal sports streaming network visited 812million times to watch football games on the cheap is shut down

A MAJOR illegal sports streaming network visited 812million times to watch football games on the cheap has been shut down.

The world’s leading anti-piracy group have put a stop to infamous illicit websites based in Vietnam, which were accessed internationally.

The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) announced their proud crackdown on one of the largest global sports piracy rings.

Their research found the notorious websites were visited 812million times in the past year, one of the largest ACE operations so far.

The sites were mainly used by people in the US and Canada, where sports games were streamed daily.

They were all pulled down – including bestsolaris.com, streameast.to, markkystreams.com, crackstreams.dev, and weakspell.to.

ACE targeted them through a global investigation and they agreed to transfer 138 domains immediately.

Larissa Knapp, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Protection Officer for the Motion Picture Association (MPA) said: “The shutdown of this globally notorious live sports piracy ring is a huge victory in our campaign against the piracy of live sports programs and follows other recent successful actions by ACE and law enforcement in Vietnam.

“ACE’s live sports members face a unique threat when it comes to digital piracy, as live sports broadcasts lose substantial commercial value once the game ends.

“The takedown serves as a warning to piracy operators everywhere – including operators in live sports piracy – that ACE will identify and shut down their illegal operations.”

The illegal operation affected all ACE members, including ACE’s sports tier members beIN Sports, Canal+ and DAZN.

Ed McCarthy, Chief Operating Officer of DAZN said: “DAZN stands with ACE in the fight to eradicate piracy, which undermines the sports ecosystem at all levels.

“It is very pleasing that a criminal operation of this scale was taken down.

“Piracy often compromises the security of fans’ data, which is then used for illegal purposes, so the closure of this piracy ring has the added benefit that potential subscribers will be guided toward legitimate content providers like DAZN.”

Users trying to access the shut down sited will be redirected to the ACE “Watch Legally” page.

MLB legend Rickey Henderson has died at the age of 65.

The 10-time MLB All-Star and Hall of Famer reportedly died on Friday.

Henderson totaled 1,406 stolen bases in his 25-year MLB career

TMZ reported that Henderson died after a battle with pneumonia.

The report added Henderson died Friday in Oakland and “had been getting treatment at a hospital for a brief period.”

Henderson has the most MLB stolen bases of all time (1,406) and is often considered the greatest leadoff hitter in the sport’s history.

He played for nine teams from 1979 to 2003 and most of those years were played with the Oakland Athletics, where he debuted in the big leagues.

MLB fans were heartbroken to hear the news concerning Henderson.

“RIP to the GOAT of the stolen base,” one commented.

“This one hurts. RIP Rickey!” another wrote.

“Sucks when your childhood heroes go. He was that rare mix of supreme talent, superlative style, and unrivaled skill. RIP to the greatest leadoff hitter of all-time,” a third added.

“Absolutely crushing loss,” a fourth stated.

Throughout his career, Henderson recorded 3,055 hits, 297 home runs, and a .279 batting average.

He played for the Athletics in four different stints, with one of them helping Oakland claim a World Series title in 1989.

Henderson then won another World Series, this time with the Blue Jays in 1993.

The California native also played for the New York Yankees, Anaheim Angels, now known as the Los Angeles Angels, the Seattle Mariners, the Boston Red Sox, and two stints with the San Diego Padres.

Taylor Swift impresses in red outfit in return to Arrowhead Stadium to support Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce

TAYLOR Swift showed off in eye-popping attire for the Kansas City Chiefs’ last home game of the regular season.

The 35-year-old music icon returned to GEHA Field at Arrowhead on Saturday after a two-game absence to cheer on boyfriend and NFL star Travis Kelce.

The Chiefs hosted the Houston Texans on Saturday afternoon.

Swift arrived at the stadium and rocked a big red coat and black hat paired with knee-high black boots.

She then made her way to the Chiefs’ suite.

It was Swift’s first Chiefs game in the month of December.

She didn’t appear at Kansas City’s home win over the Los Angeles Chargers on December 8 due to the fact she was performing her last Eras Tour weekend show.

Swift also missed the Chiefs’ road victory over the Cleveland Browns in Kelce’s native Ohio last Sunday.

The 14-time Grammy winner celebrated her 35th birthday earlier this month with Kelce.

It’s believed that the three-time Super Bowl champion “hired a private chef and bartender to cook and make cocktails” for himself and Swift.

The report added that Kelce gave her gifts which included “jewelry engraved specifically for Taylor.”

And Kelce decided to have a more “intimate party” with Swift than a large gathering and the party was “decorated beautifully” with flowers.

He also surprised Swift with an Era Tour-themed party earlier this week.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, also attended the gathering.

Kelce was seen donning a tuxedo at the festivities – the same attire he wore in June when he made an Eras Tour during a concert in London.

Swift, meanwhile, sported a black dress.

Kelce and the Chiefs are in the middle of schedule chaos.

After they face the Texas this weekend, the Chiefs will travel to play the Pittsburgh Steelers for a Christmas Day game on Wednesday.

It will be the second and third games played in 10 days.

The back-to-back reigning Super Bowl champions are eyeing a three-peat and will end the regular season in a divisional matchup with the Denver Broncos on January 5.

Kansas City is currently 13-1 and needs to win two of their last three games of the season to earn the No. 1 seed, giving them a first-round bye and home-field advantage.
