Notable quotes

“I think it has to start with innovation and our ability to connect deeply and personally with athletes to understand what they want and need, and maybe couldn't even imagine to help them perform at their highest level. To me, that's the differentiation for Nike is that ability to connect with athletes and then translate that into innovative, coveted, beautiful product.”

“We had gone so hard at direct to consumer. The reality is consumers want to shop in multiple locations. And we have to show up in meaningful and thoughtful ways in all of those locations, whether it's a sporting goods store like Dick's Sporting Goods or an athletic specialty like Footlocker or JD Sports, or you want to go to a specialty store, a running specialty store. Like we got to show up there and getting that s”

“When we came back, we really focused in on five things. One, the culture here at this company getting the team rallied around sport. And we've done that and you'll feel it today. Getting back to creating innovative coveted product, telling emotional stories. And what, and at the same time cleaning up the marketplace. And I would say we have a really strong foundation from which to grow. Now we have focused back on sp”

“I have been upfront with the Wall Street community and spending time with them and understand where they are from the business perspective and where we are going and I'm trying to say we are 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.”

“It seems simplistic, but we've become more lifestyle oriented and when we lead the sport, our running business in China is back to growth, back to growth, we focus on sport and to win and that's what I'm challenging the team to do as quickly as possible.”

“Let's focus on product and innovation. That's true in a consumer product committee. Storytelling and marketing and some cleanup in inventory in the marketplace so I feel good about the work the team has done but like everything what happens next is revenue, market share and share price follow. It is a sequential improvement and I feel better about the foundation of business.”
