Nike announced that it would be discounting merchandise after its revealed they have excess inventory in North America.

Add Nike to the list of brands and stores discounting excess merchandise to clear it off shelves,Nike said Thursday its inventory levels soared 65% in North America, its largest market, and 44% overall last quarter from a year ago.

Donahoe explained that when Nike factories in Vietnam and Indonesia had to close after COVID-19 outbreaks, goods arrived late for this year's spring, summer and fall seasons. Then Nike's upcoming holiday season orders arrived earlier than planned. Meanwhile, the brand still has merchandise orders in transit.

To unload goods that are now out of season and shift to the appropriate holiday selection, Nike will move more clothing to its own factory stores, promote online and sell more to discount stores such as TJ Maxx. Nike in recent years has been pulling back on selling products to other retailers. Sending its goods to discount chains is a last resort.
