TIVP015: Nike (NKE): Just Buy It? w/ Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley


Listen Later

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O’Malley break down Nike (ticker: NKE), the global leader in athletic footwear and apparel. With a legacy built on innovation, iconic athlete endorsements, and a brand that resonates across generations, Nike has long been a dominant force in the sportswear industry. But after years of consistent success, the company is now navigating through one of its toughest stretches in decades, facing slowing sales, margin pressure, and growing competition from younger, more trendy brands.


In this episode, you’ll learn why Nike’s once-flawless growth story has recently hit turbulence, how its shift toward direct-to-consumer impacted its wholesale relationships, what the brand is doing to win back market share and reignite innovation, why CEO Elliott Hill is refocusing the company on core sports categories, and whether this could be the reset Nike needs to stage a long-term comeback — plus a whole lot more.
