The overall quarter wasn't terrible for Nike. Their revenue was up 4% to $12.7 billion, their direct sales were up 8%. Their brand digital sales were up 16% with 46% growth in EMEA. They're working on liquidating their excess inventory with their inventories up 44%, and their elevated transit inventories from some supply chain volatility. I think that they have a brand name that and consistent revenue growth, even during hard times in recessionary periods.
