Nike is embarking on another major restructuring as it tries to restore growth and strengthen its product business.

Nike’s first-quarter revenue fell 4 per cent to $11.2bn.
Its new Pace programme targets $2.5bn in cumulative savings by fiscal 2031.
More job cuts are expected from 2027 as Nike tries to rebuild its product and consumer appeal.
Nike is cutting costs, reshaping its business and preparing for another round of job losses. But the bigger problem facing the world's best-known sportswear brand is harder to fix: getting consumers excited about Nike again.
The company reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of $11.2 billion, down 4 per cent from a year earlier, while net income slipped 2 per cent to $712 million. Nike said declines in Greater China and parts of its international business outweighed growth in North America. Its direct business was also under pressure, with Nike Brand digital revenue falling 13 per cent during the quarter.

        Jasprit Bumrah breaks Kohli-Rohit record as India thrash Sri Lanka in Asian Games semifinal

India's Jasprit Bumrah looks on during the 2026 ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup final match between India and New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 8, 2026.

Highlights:Jasprit Bumrah became the first Indian to play T20I cricket in 13 different countries, going past Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who were tied at 12
The record came in India's Asian Games 2026 semifinal against Sri Lanka at Kōrogi Sports Park, Nisshin, Aichi-Nagoya, on October 1
India posted 169/7 on the back of Ishan Kishan's unbeaten 80, then bowled Sri Lanka out for just 45 to win by 124 runs
That 124-run margin is the biggest winning margin ever recorded in a men's T20I semifinal or final, beating India's own 96-run win in the 2026 T20 World Cup final
Sri Lanka's 45 is also the joint-lowest total ever by a Test-playing nation in T20Is, level with West Indies' 45 against England in 2019
Since Kohli and Rohit have already retired from T20Is, Bumrah's 13-country record now stands unchallenged by either of them
The win sends India into the Asian Games final to face Pakistan for gold
India's cricket team didn't just win their Asian Games semifinal on Thursday — they buried Sri Lanka under a scoreline that barely looked like a contest. And somewhere in the middle of that demolition, Jasprit Bumrah quietly walked past two of Indian cricket's biggest names without needing to bowl a single ball to do it.
The moment Bumrah stepped onto the field at Kōrogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Aichi-Nagoya, he became the first Indian cricketer to play T20I cricket in 13 different countries. Japan was the new addition to a list that already included Australia, Bangladesh, England, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the UAE, the USA, the West Indies, and Zimbabwe — on top of India itself.
