Nike doesn't sell shoes. Those are a loss leader. They sell you brand and lifestyle bullshit at a very high markup.

"In fiscal 2024, footwear accounted for 68 percent of Nike's total revenues." https://www.statista.com/statistics/412760/nike-global-reven...

Revenue doesn't really show they are not loss leaders. Profit would be more useful.
