## What is Nike?

Nike is an American athletic footwear and apparel company founded in 1964 by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, and headquartered near Beaverton, Oregon. Originally named Blue Ribbon Sports, the company adopted the Nike name in 1971 and now designs and sells shoes, apparel, and sports equipment on nike.com and in Nike stores across the United States.

Nike has traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NKE since 1980 and is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500. The company owns the Jordan Brand and Converse, and its Swoosh logo and Air, Air Max, and Dri-FIT product lines are among the most recognized in US sportswear.

## What is Nike known for?

Nike is known for performance and lifestyle footwear, apparel, and sports equipment sold on nike.com and through the Nike app. The catalog spans running, basketball, training, football, and skate categories, plus the Jordan Brand, Converse, and the Nike By You customization program, with technology lines such as Air Max, Zoom, and Dri-FIT running through the range.

- Running shoes and apparel, including Pegasus, Vaporfly, and Air Max lines
- Basketball footwear and the Jordan Brand, including Air Jordan Retros
- Training and gym gear, including Metcon shoes and Dri-FIT apparel
- Football, soccer, and cleats under the Mercurial and Phantom lines

## Current cashback rate

Percentage back on eligible Nike purchases, capped per order and periodically boosted; see the live rate on ShopBack.

<!--rate-stamp:nike:start-->Live rate: see the current Nike rate on ShopBack. A checked rate appears here once the hourly rate check has fresh data; the binding rate is always the one on the Nike page at www.shopback.com.<!--rate-stamp:nike:end-->

Nike cashback on ShopBack is a percentage of eligible Nike.com purchases, capped per order ($25 per order when this page was last verified). ShopBack periodically boosts the rate several times above its standard level, sometimes limited to one order per member. New releases, Air Jordans and Jordan Retros, and purchases through the SNKRS app never earn cashback. The live rate is on the ShopBack Nike page.

## How do you save money at Nike?

Start every nike.com order from the Nike page on ShopBack, because activating there records the click so eligible purchases earn cashback on top of Nike's own pricing. Activation takes one click and costs nothing, and Nike periodically appears at a boosted rate during promotional windows.

Stack Nike's own price mechanics next: shop the Nike.com Sale section, join Nike Membership for member-only pricing and early access, and watch the clearance grid where end-of-season styles are marked down. Combining a sale price with a ShopBack activation keeps both savings on one eligible order.

Only codes featured on ShopBack are safe to apply, because a promo code from another source can void the cashback for that order. Note that new releases, Air Jordans, and purchases through the SNKRS app never earn cashback, so time cashback-eligible buys around general Nike.com stock rather than hyped launches.

## Nike deals, discounts and sales: what stacks with cashback?

The strongest Nike deals are usually not codes at all: a Nike sale or sitewide discount stacks with cashback automatically, because cashback is calculated on the discounted price you actually pay, and an upsized cashback rate works like an extra sitewide discount on top.

To see today's Nike deals in one place, open the Nike page on ShopBack: the current cashback rate, any featured discount codes, and upsized offers are listed together there. This page does not maintain its own Nike sales list, because offers change too fast for a static page to stay honest.

## How to earn cashback at Nike

1. Start at ShopBack: Open the merchant page on ShopBack (site, app, or browser extension) and click through to the merchant.
2. Shop in the same session: Complete the purchase on the merchant site without visiting other coupon or deal sites in between, so the order tracks to your ShopBack account.
3. Wait for tracking: Cashback appears as pending in your ShopBack account, usually within 2 days of the order.
4. Withdraw your cashback: Once the merchant confirms the order (after the return window closes), the cashback becomes withdrawable to a bank account or PayPal.

## When are the best times to buy at Nike?

- Black Friday (Late November): Nike runs sitewide promotions and expanded member discounts across footwear and apparel through Thanksgiving week.
- Cyber Monday (The Monday after Thanksgiving): Online promotions continue on nike.com, often with the deepest discounts on training and lifestyle styles.
- End-of-season clearance (January and July): Nike marks down seasonal footwear and apparel as new lines arrive, with the sale grid on nike.com deepest at the turn of each season.
- Back-to-school (July through early September): Kids and youth footwear, backpacks, and training apparel see promotional pricing as the school year approaches.
- Member days and holiday promotions (Around major US holidays): Nike Membership adds early access and member pricing tied to Memorial Day, Labor Day, and other holiday weekends.

## Is Nike legit and safe to shop at?

Nike is one of the most established athletic brands in the United States: founded in 1964, publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange as NKE since 1980, and a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The company operates nike.com, the Nike app, and Nike stores nationwide.

Online orders on nike.com use encrypted checkout and order tracking, and most items can be returned within 60 days of delivery, with returns free for Nike Members. Proof of purchase is required, and some categories, such as Nike Clearance store items and custom soccer jerseys, are final sale.

Cashback on Nike orders through ShopBack adds no risk to the purchase itself. The order is placed on nike.com at Nike's own prices; ShopBack is paid a referral commission by the merchant and shares it with the member, the same mechanic used across all ShopBack partner merchants.

## What are Nike shipping, returns, and payment options?

Shipping: Nike Members get free standard shipping on nike.com orders of $50 or more, and guests get free standard shipping on orders of $75 or more. As of 2026-08, Nike Membership is free to join, and faster paid shipping options are offered at checkout.

Returns: Most Nike items can be returned or exchanged within 60 days of online delivery or store purchase, and returns are free for Nike Members. Proof of purchase is required. Nike Clearance store items, custom soccer jerseys, and some sealed sets are final sale or carry exceptions.

Payments: Nike accepts major credit and debit cards, Nike gift cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay on nike.com, with buy-now-pay-later financing offered at checkout on qualifying baskets. Orders paid with a redeemed gift card do not earn ShopBack cashback.

## Terms and exclusions highlights

- New releases, Air Jordans and Air Jordan Retros, and refurbished shoes are excluded.
- Purchases through the Nike SNKRS app and the Nike employee store are excluded.

A: No. Air Jordans and Air Jordan Retros are excluded from Nike cashback, along with new releases and anything bought through the SNKRS app.

Q: Does the Nike SNKRS app work with ShopBack?
