Nike is serving athletes faster with AI

Nike is expanding on its vision to elevate and integrate the marketplace to serve athletes where they are today – and where they’re headed next – through more seamless AI-powered consumer experiences.

Moving at the speed of evolving consumer behaviour, Nike is integrating the Universal Commerce Protocol-powered multi-item checkout on Google. This capability advances how consumers shop through AI-powered technology to deliver a seamless experience, from product discovery to purchase, checkout and beyond.

Nike is integrating this new multi-item bag shopping capability at launch in early June in the US. Consumers will be able to explore and purchase Nike products simply and directly in the Gemini app and in AI Mode on Search. 

“With this new AI-powered shopping experience, Nike is again elevating the marketplace and how consumers engage with sport – using technology to anticipate their needs and connect them to our brand in more intuitive, seamless ways,” said Shannon Glass, VP, Nike Direct. “There’s no better time than the world’s biggest global football moment for us to show up with innovation that meets athletes when they’re inspired and when sport is at its peak.”

Google recently shared a new intelligent shopping bag feature that allows shoppers to conveniently add products and complete checkout across Google and multiple brands using stored payment and delivery information from Google Wallet.

Consumers can move effortlessly from product discovery to checkout without having to switch between screens – researching, comparing and purchasing the latest Nike innovations, including football bootskits and fan apparel. This ensures a seamless connection to the world of sport, all while Nike maintains the consumer relationship.

Nike’s activation of this capability represents the brand’s position at the forefront of AI-assisted commerce, further extending NIKE, Inc.’s multifaceted retail presence. This includes Nike.com, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year; Nike’s suite of apps, including the Nike AppSNKRS and activity apps; and the brand’s owned and partnered marketplace.

Nike will continue exploring world-class partnerships and leading-edge technologies that expand access to sport and style, meeting athletes wherever they choose to shop.
