Summary · why it matters

Nike is cutting ties with thousands of online sellers in China as part of a major strategy overhaul to regain brand control and revive growth. Starting in January, the company will concentrate its digital presence on its own website and app, along with official stores on Tmall, JD.com, and Douyin, aiming for a more consistent shopping experience and stronger brand storytelling. The move comes as China has become a difficult market, with local brands gaining ground and fragmented online distribution complicating pricing and brand management. Topsports, Nike's largest mainland China distributor, acknowledged the near-term hit but said the changes should support a healthier retail system over time.
