Nike Launches India-Specific Running Shoe Vegam Run to Boost Growth
Nike has launched its first running shoe designed exclusively for the Indian market, named Vegam Run, priced at ₹3,795 and available on Flipkart from November 1. This initiative supports Nike's strategy to expand in India amid a global sales slowdown, particularly in China where revenues have declined for nine consecutive quarters. CEO Elliott Hill emphasizes locally led designs to drive growth, alongside plans to open a new campus in India to capitalize on the country's growing running trend.
