Nike Returns to Amazon After Six Years: A Win for Both Brands
Nike, a big sports brand, is going back to selling its stuff directly on Amazon after being gone for about six years.
They left because they wanted more control over how their brand was presented and were worried about fake products.
Now, they're coming back to reach more customers.
Amazon is happy because it wants to have more top brands.
Amazon is also trying to sell more luxury goods and is taking steps to make sure the products sold are real.
Nike will begin selling its products directly on Amazon in the US again.
This marks the end of a six-year absence that started in 2019.
Nike initially left due to concerns about counterfeit goods and to focus on direct-to-consumer sales.
Amazon aims to expand its offerings with premium and high-end brands.
Amazon will give sellers time to sell existing Nike inventory.
