Nike Stock Nosedives, Facing S&P 100 Exit After 'Specter Edition' Jersey Backlash

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 12

Summary

  • Nike is set to be dropped from the S&P 100 after its shares slid amid a week of backlash over its newly unveiled 'Specter Edition' NBA jerseys.
  • The latest criticism centers on the jerseys' design, which the report says was widely panned and became a fresh symbol of broader dissatisfaction with the brand.
  • That broader critique ties Nike's decline to a string of politically charged marketing decisions since 2018, including campaigns linked to Colin Kaepernick, George Floyd protests and Dylan Mulvaney.
  • The report frames the index removal as a sign Nike's troubles now extend beyond brand image into investor confidence and market standing.
