Hi Bob! This is the canary on the coal mine. Nike says it will cut $2 billion in costs in the next 3 years, which includes laying off employees, in a major warning for consumers. Shares tumbled as much as 14% Friday.
Expect footwear, athletics goods and apparel to suffer in 2024.
Customers are switching their behavior, passing up discretionary purchases — like expensive sneakers and athletic wear (it surely are the GenZs!) — for basics and experiences like concerts and travel.
Here is what Nike can do: Income comes down, GenZs cut the superfluous and prioritize backpacking.

Nike move focus on fitness and on the outdoors and backpacking travel
Let's look as some numbers:
- The outdoor economy is strong, with $862 billion in gross economic output
- Compare with the global fitness industry which was worth $96.7 billion in 2022.
- The global Backpack market size was valued at USD 1.58 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.17% during the forecast period, reaching USD 2397.99 million by 2027.
