Nike also cut down some relationship with suppliers. They thought it wouldn't affect them but they were wrong. They didn't reach the objectives of 50% digital sales. After the pandemic, people start coming back to stores to buy product and that is when it started to colaps for Nike.

For the external factors now, Nike need to come back at what is working. A strong image with important sports personality. They also need to make sure his community is in good health like the running club or something like that because these people are the heart of the company.
