Nike’s methodology for wearable technology is covered. The next section describes Nike’s evolution of wearable devices that have propelled it from a retail clothing and shoe company to an apparel technology. This is followed by the performance of a SWOT analysis and a competitive landscape analysis. Then the paper examines Nike’s marketing strategy to remain competitive and an industry leader.
