Nike’s New Well Collective: Nike Supports Body, Mind and Life
30 June 2023: Nike is committed to being more than the leading global sports brand. The Nike of today is a brand of movement and a place for everyone to feel connected and included. It celebrates the joy of movement, the power of mindfulness and the benefits of considering the whole self. This vision has a name: Nike Well Collective.
“Inspired by insights from our Nike Women’s consumer, Nike Well Collective is designed to support wellness journeys for everyone, however they define them. It celebrates all bodies and all forms of movement. Because we know holistic fitness is more than just sport, it’s focusing on body, mind and life,” says Amy Montagne, VP/GM of Global Nike Women’s. “As Nike exists to champion athletes and sport, our ultimate goal is to help more people move, feel good in their bodies and connect with what matters most – a life well lived.”
Forming Nike Well Collective’s foundation are Nike’s five pillars of holistic fitness: movement, mindfulness, nutrition, rest and connection. These pillars guide how Nike supports every aspect of wellness through its expansive, connected ecosystem, including stores, social media, and the content on its apps, Nike Run Club and Nike Training Club. Here’s how the pillars break down:
Sport science and innovation is in Nike’s DNA. In its Nike Sport Research Lab, Nike has world-class PhDs and researchers across mind and body sciences who work with elite and everyday athletes around the world to create the future of sport. This expertise will anchor Nike Well Collective with credible information and services for all aspects of holistic fitness, allowing deeper connections with consumers in more meaningful ways, says Liz Weldon, VP, Global Nike Women’s Brand Management, and a certified integrative nutrition health coach.
In addition to leveraging its premier sport-science expertise in the Nike Sport Research Lab, Nike is also expanding its worldwide and world-class network of trainers, coaches and experts to help advise and inspire Nike Well Collective. In the coming months, Nike will deepen its worldwide trainer and coaching community, onboarding more than 1,000 new global fitness trainers, from Los Angeles to Paris to Shanghai to Seoul.
At the same time, Nike Well Collective will continue to do what Nike does best – seek inspiration from and drive connection and provide service to its world-class and leading roster of athletes, for whom the five pillars are instrumental in how they live their lives and perform at the highest levels in their respective sports.
With its new holistic approach, Nike is connecting its services and physical and digital experiences like never before. Beginning June 13, in the retail space, Nike Live stores will become Nike Well Collective stores. For Nike, these digitally driven, member-focused spaces – with curated product assortments supporting women’s sport and lifestyle journeys and every moment in between – are the ideal backdrop to continue to improve and enhance how it serves holistic fitness and wellness.
