Nike Review

I am SUPER STOKED to be working with Nike! I’ve worn their products for years so as a fashion blogger, this is a huge dream come true for me. I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t know or recognize the Nike symbol and brand.

I received the following items from Nike to review in this post (brace yourselves because this is a long list…):

Nike Indy Seamless Ribbed Sports Bra ($38)
Nike Sportswear High-Waisted Ribbed Jersey Skirt ($52) – OBSESSED! Love the color and how soft the fabric is. I am size 6 and the small fit perfectly. I wear it with the matching top and chunky sneakers.
Nike Sportswear Ribbed Jersey Short-Sleeve Top ($60)
Nike Sportswear High-Waisted Ribbed Jersey Flared Pants ($80)
Nike Heritage Crossbody Bag (4L) ($27)
Jordan Chicago Pants ($110)
Jordan Cinch Dress ($80)
Nike Sportswear Light-Support Padded Corset Bra ($70)
Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece Oversized Asymmetrical Hoodie ($130)
Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece Mid-Rise Joggers ($120)
Nike Sportswear Chill Knit Oversized T-Shirt Dress ($50)
Nike Sportswear Chill Knit Tight Cropped Mini-Rib Tank ($45)
Nike Trouser Shorts ($65) – Wow these are the perfect shorts. I wish they made this style in more colors. The only drawback is that there aren’t pockets, but the shorts look cute with a crop top or longline sports bra. The material is also super lightweight.
Nike Sportswear Classics High-Waisted 8″ Biker Shorts ($35)
Nike Sportswear Ribbed Jersey Long-Sleeve V-Neck ($65)
Nike Dri-FIT Advantage Short Tennis Skirt ($75)
Nike Icon Classic Women’s Sandals ($65) – Absolutely LOVE the strappy design of this sporty platform sandals. It gives me height and looks great with all my outfits. Need these in black too, stat!
Nike Waffle Debut Shoes ($75)
Nike Peak Standard Cuff Futura Beanie ($28)
Jordan Apex Bucket Hat ($34)

Nike Pros

Affordable – Their products are set to a very fair price point. Products range from $25-$300 depending on the product. Outerwear and exclusive footwear styles are typically the most expensive. Nike makes products for a wide range of budgets and activities.
Wide variety of products for every sport you can imagine. Nike is definitely a one-stop shop for many fitness enthusiasts, athletes and casual wearers.
Sustainably(-ish) Made – Some items on their sites are made sustainably. They could improve on their business model and make everything sustainable but some items require virgin materials.
Fits True to Size (TTS) – Nike products fit true to size. I wear a size 6-8 in lululemon and wear a medium in Nike products.
Inclusive Sizing – Nike offers plus-size styles for women with sizing ranging from 1X to 4X.
Height Inclusive – Select pant and bottom styles also come in petite, regular, and tall lengths.
Favorites Feature – I LOVE this feature. The Favorites feature allows me to get restock notifications and to keep all my favorites in one place to shop later. You’ll need an account to access their Favorites feature. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Free Shipping on orders of $50 or more. All you need to do is create an account to access this benefit.
Store pick-up is available. Need your item quickly? You can purchase and pickup in a store near you within 2 hours.
Nike Refurbished Program – Their refurbished program allows you to purchase gently used or repaired Nike products at a fraction of the cost.
Generous 60-day return policy. Nike believes in their products and believes you should too. You can return and exchange any items you like within 60 days of your purchase.

Nike Cons

Stock Runs Out Quickly – Their stock levels are constantly changing, which is a good thing for business. It’s annoying for consumers because items sell out quickly. If you see something you want, buy it immediately. You can always return it if it doesn’t fit properly or ends up not being your style.
The website doesn’t load properly and is very slow. There are times when the site loads fine and then other times when the site lags and I am unable to check out or browse products for hours. It’s definitely a server issue and hopefully, Nike will see my post and respond to it as soon as possible. They’re definitely losing out on sales with this issue. UPDATE: I fixed the problem by emptying my cart and refilling it with items saved from my favorite section. Nonetheless, they still need to fix this issue.
Fast Fashion brand – While Nike has sustainable practices and campaigns, they’re still considered a fast fashion brand. Their factories are located in Vietnam, Indonesia, and China.

Should I Buy Nike?

We LOVE Nike products and you definitely will too. Many people are introduced to the Nike brand in their youth, but if you’ve never worn a Nike product, we highly recommend the brand based on fit, affordability, and style.

If you’re new to Nike, we recommend giving some of their most popular products a try.
