COVID-19 Community Response

Updated 2:00 PM PST, April 3

NIKE, Inc., will provide an additional $1.6 million to help local organizations meet immediate needs, such as food assistance and medical care, in key cities and communities around the world where our employees live and work. Our local communities are a critical part of our everyday efforts — whether that’s getting kids active, leveling the playing field for all or responding to this pandemic. These grants will support on-the-ground organizations that need it the most, such as health, social services and humanitarian organizations, food banks and COVID-19 response funds.

Our people and our communities have always been at the core of who we are and what we do. Nike’s leaders, the Nike Foundation and Nike have committed more than $17 million to COVID-19 response efforts around the world.

The Nike Air Max Pre-Day Connects Generations of Innovation

  With a stance reminiscent of Nike’s jogging shoe golden era (think the Daybreak, produced from 1979 to 1981) and a radical, visible Nike Air heel unit, the Nike Air Max Pre-Day breaks new ground in Air.  The shoe’s arresting aesthetic, a blend of the late-1970s and the 2020s, highlights a simplified design ethos that minimizes material waste with at least 20 percent recycled content by weight (the upper is 100 percent recycled polyester; the outsole about 13 percent Nike Grind Rubber) and positions the Air unit in an entirely new light. Fully exposed, the heel Air bag is the same one employed in current Air Max 1s, Air Max 90s, Air Jordan IIIs, IVs, Vs and VIs.  The difference?

Decreasing layers between foot and Air, and placing the unit b...

Nike Mercurial TN

July 24, 2019 - Pulling stylistic elements from both the new Nike Mercurial and the Nike Air Max Plus, the Nike Mercurial TN is all about combining street and speed. Inspired by the Fall 2019 Mercurial Boot, the capsule features four new colorways. Two OG models highlight the group, and are most heavily influenced by the iconic boot via its the use of oversized Swoosh and an iridescent checkered graphic that nods to traditional football kits. Additionally, two pairs of the TN Ultra carry a subtle repeat checkerboard pattern and lower profile midsole. A Nike Kids version takes the Mercurial pattern on the heel and a triple black base. Flashy touches and an oversized swoosh complete all the designs. The new Nike Mercurial TN models are available globally at Foot Locker and on nike.com.
