Overview
- Roughly 775 positions will be eliminated, largely across distribution centers in Tennessee and Mississippi, as the company streamlines its logistics footprint.
- Nike has not disclosed a timeline or named specific facilities, though Tennessee’s labor department said it received a mass-layoff notice.
- The restructuring is framed as part of the 'Win Now' plan to reduce complexity, increase flexibility, and contribute to improved EBIT margins over time.
- These reductions add to prior cuts in 2024–2025, including a 2% global workforce trim and about 1% of corporate roles last year.
- Company statements emphasize accelerated automation and worker reskilling, with the moves following a 32% drop in fiscal second-quarter net income and ongoing demand softness in China.
