Nike is a company that makes some clothing... Yeah they make a ton of that... Anyway, in Greek mythology, Nike is the Winged Goddess of Victory. The Godess's swoosh symbolises the sound of speed, power, movement, and motivitation. Nike was created on January 25, 1964 in Eugene, Oregon by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. Since 2006, the CEO was Mark Parker. Nike.com

Nike has made NBA jerseys since 2017. At first, people were excited. However, they kept ripping because they were a lot more thin than the previous Adidas jerseys. Nike did fix the ripping problem, so they're fine now. One new thing that came with Nike jerseys was sponsorships. On the top left of each jersey, there is a logo for some company. So, the 76ers have Stubhub, the Bucks have Harley-Davidson, the Cavs have Goodyear, the Celtics have Genral Electric, the Jazz have Qualtrics, the Kings have Blue Diamond Almonds, the Magic have Disney(very fitting), the Nets have Infor, the Pistons have Flagstar, the Raptors have Sunlife, the Timberwolves have Fitbit, the Nuggets have Western Union, the Hawks have Share Care, the Warriors have Rakuten, the Lakers have Wish, the Heat have Ultimate Software, the Pelicans have Zatarains, the Hornets have Lendingtree, and the Suns have PayPal. Not every team has a sponsorship(ex: Mavericks). I found this information on this site.(Nike Jesrsey Sponsors)

So far, while this page has been about Nike, it's mainly basketball. That theme will kind of stay the same. This is some stuff that Nike just simply sells. Nike sells some shoes as their main product so lets cover those first. You can create a custom shoe to fit you. Nike has running shoes like the Joyride Run Flyknit for girls and the Downshifter 9 for boys. We've covered some basketball shoes but not all. They have (my favorite) the LeBron 17. Girls and boys are mixed. For soccer, they have the Mercurial Superfly 7 Elite. Just like basketball, they're mixed. For football, they have Vapor Untouchable 3 Elite. No girls football cleats.
