Overview
- Nike confirmed approximately 775 layoffs primarily affecting roles at distribution centers in Tennessee and Mississippi as it consolidates its U.S. logistics footprint.
- The company says the actions will strengthen and streamline operations and support a return to long-term profitable growth, including improved EBIT margins.
- Tennessee’s Department of Labor & Workforce Development said it received a mass-layoff notice from Nike, while the company has not provided a timeline or identified specific facilities.
- Reporting highlights uncertainty over how much of the downsizing is driven by automation versus right-sizing after prior distribution expansion.
- This move follows earlier reductions across corporate and technology teams in 2024–2025, including about 1% of corporate roles cut last year and 740 Oregon jobs eliminated in 2024.
