In response to the increase in import tariffs, Nike plans to raise prices on a range of its U.S. products beginning June 1, 2025, per BBC.
Following the announcement of several tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed they would enhance American manufacturing and safeguard jobs, many companies that produce goods overseas have raised their prices, leading to higher costs for U.S. consumers.
For those eyeing sneakers in the $100 to $150 range, brace yourself for an estimated $5 increase in price, according to Reuters. Anything over $150 could go up by as much as $10. Adult clothing and gear will also see a bump, somewhere between $2 and $10 depending on the item. Kids’ products, anything under $100, classic Air Force 1s, and some Jordan apparel won’t be affected.
This price adjustment isn’t exclusive to Nike; other brands such as Adidas, Apple, and many more are also feeling the impact due to the new U.S. tariffs on imports from major manufacturing countries like Vietnam and China. Since Nike produces around 95% of its shoes overseas, it is especially impacted by these changes.
