During Nike’s fourth quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call on June 30, 2026, Hill discussed the company’s turnaround strategy, stating that “the results aren’t there yet” and that “we know we’re not living up to our full potential, particularly in Nike sportswear and Jordan streetwear, where sellthrough remains challenged.” He described the company’s “sport offense” as its point of differentiation and said that “what creates authenticity for Nike is our sport business” and that it “creates the halo over both of those brands.” Hill noted that the company had taken “a billion out of the market in FY26 of our classic franchises” and that North America was “out front leading us in our turnaround.” He cited the Foot Locker relationship as an example of progress, saying the quarter was “the first quarter that we grew both Nike revenue plus Nike retail sales in Foot Locker in over four years.” In a separate interview on June 3, 2026, Hill said the company is “not managing the business for this quarter or next quarter but for the long term and setting this business up the next 20 year run.” He stated that when asked about soccer’s potential as a growth driver, “It already is. No question it is a great opportunity, we will continue to invest.” Hill also said the company had become “more lifestyle oriented” and that “when we lead the sport, our running business in China is back to growth.”
