Athletic brand digital currency-neutral sales growth measures sales growth through a brand-owned digital channel after removing foreign-currency translation effects.

NIKE Brand Digital sales declined 12% on a currency-neutral basis in fiscal 2026. Reported Digital sales were $8.6B, down from $9.6B.

Reduced traffic pressured the digital channel

NIKE identified reduced traffic as the primary driver of the Digital sales decline.

The metric therefore captures channel demand rather than total company e-commerce exposure across wholesale partners.

Digital sales are one component of NIKE Direct

NIKE Direct also includes NIKE-owned stores, whose sales declined less sharply.
