Adios Nike
 
Vert interesting that as of January 1st ALL Nike products; shoes, equipment, sports gear, anything with a Nike logo is gone from all Villages golf and tennis retail locations. A few close out items remain only. Do not know the reasoning behind the decision, but for myself and quite a number of my close friends you could almost hear the round of applause.

Nike has gotten out of the golf business. Even Tiger Woods had to find another manufacturer

Happy to hear that Nike profited in many ways from their ad. Not a Kapernick fan, but am a fan of truth, and people do learn and listen. And thanks to dsbouley for clarifying more truth about their departure from golf

Sad to see the usual folks in here jump to a "political" conclusion without bothering to research facts. Must get old to always be wrong because of easily being led by made up emotional lies.

Thanks again to those who post actual facts.

Also interesting to note when Nike announced they were getting out of golf.....AUGUST 2016....but we obviously have posters that attribute this to something other than a business decision.

Nike announces exit from golf equipment business

Nike has only stopped making golf equipment but is still actively marketing apparel and accessories.

Shoes, but as seems s normal now, this entire story has been riddles with lies, half truths, and "made up" melodrama, so what's new

No more Nike! Hooray,!!!

Ever since they went with that dirtbag Kaepernick I have not bought any Nike products and have thrown away any I had.

I'm not sure if you're saying they only make golf shoes now but on their website they have a section titled Golf Clothing and Apparel. Golf Clothing & Apparel. Nike.com

If I misunderstood what you were trying to say, I apologize.
