Nike is getting out the swimming business

Wow, Nike is getting out of the championship swimming business. So, once the swimmer's contracts are up, they won't be able to get the same kind of money from Speedo that they got from Nike. Shocking news. www.cnbc.com/.../26827098

  • I can't think of a single product segment that Nike's products are better or even comparable to others with the notable exception of basketball shoes. Nike's suits are crap, their goggles worse, their workout apparel is cheap and their running shoes are dreadful. True that! Too bad New Balance doesn't make swimwear ;-) Back in the day, Arena was BIG here in the US. In fact, most of us wore Arena suits until college. They had better product than Speedo back then methinks, but that was over twenty years ago. I've never been a Nike fan, even when it was "cool" in Junior High :)
