About Nike
Nike's website and Nike App are the brand's direct store for its trainers, running shoes, sportswear, Jordan products and equipment. Shopping direct gives you the full range, custom shoes through Nike By You, and launches that often sell out at other retailers; the separate SNKRS app handles hyped sneaker drops. Nike Membership is free and adds free shipping on orders over a minimum, a 60-day wear test on shoes, receipt-free returns in the app or in stores, and member-only products and events. Nike also offers free fitness apps, Nike Run Club and Nike Training Club, that tie into the same account. Shopping is free; you pay for products and any faster delivery. It suits people who mostly buy Nike or Jordan and want first access to releases. The obvious limit is that it only sells Nike's own brands, so comparing with adidas or New Balance means shopping elsewhere.
Best for: Shoppers who mainly buy Nike and Jordan and want member drops and long return windows.
