Honoring Juneteenth

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S. In observance of Juneteenth, NIKE, Inc. will close U.S. retail and distribution operations on June 19, with corporate, manufacturing, and Converse distribution operations following on June 20. Manufacturing operations in Missouri will be closed on June 19 and 20.
