$100 Invested In Nike 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) predicted Air Jordan would make only $3 million in sales over its first three to four years. Instead, the line <a href="https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/how-much-has-michael-jordan-been-paid-for-his-nike-jordan-brand-partnership-not-nearly-enough.html">brought in about $126 million</a> in its first year. That breakout success vaulted NBA great Michael Jordan into retail legend and reshaped Nike's future.
Jordan Brand now earns billions yearly, keeping the Jumpman logo central to modern sneaker culture. That journey started with one risky contract and a shoe the NBA tried to ban.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rookie Deal Reshapes Sneakers</h2>
In October 1984, after meeting at Nike's headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, <a href="https://www.espn.com/blog/playbook/dollars/post/_/id/2918/how-nike-landed-michael-jordan?">Nike signed</a> Jordan to a five-year endorsement deal worth $500,000 annually.

</ul>
"Nike&#8217;s expectation was at the end of year four they hoped to sell $3 million of Air Jordans," agent David Falk said in <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/the-last-dance-story-behind-michael-jordan-nearly-choosing-adidas-over-nike-explained-in-doc/">ESPN's documentary</a>, "The Last Dance." Jordan had favored Adidas, yet his mother, Deloris, persuaded him to hear Nike's pitch.
The contract included a signature shoe, unheard of for a rookie, plus stock options and royalties on every pair sold. Nike backed the launch with posters, television spots, and campus tours that cast the 21-year-old guard as both hero and rebel. By season's end, Air Jordan revenue hit $126 million, smashing every forecast and proving a player could anchor an entire product family.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Banned Shoe Fuels Buzz</h2>
"The NBA threw them out of the game. Fortunately, the NBA can't keep you from wearing them," teased a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5QbV-wnhtY">Nike ad</a> after the league cited uniform rules and fined Jordan $5,000 each game for wearing the red-and-black Air Jordan 1, which debuted on April 1, 1985.
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
The controversy sparked demand. <a href="https://www.espn.com/espn/sportsbusiness/news/story?id=1920101">Retailers moved</a> 450,000 pairs within a month at $65 each, ESPN added. Rappers, playground players, and director Spike Lee amplified the buzz, making the sneakers status symbols beyond sport.&nbsp;
Analysts later called the launch the first modern "drop," where scarcity and story fuel instant sell-outs. That momentum helped Nike secure future athlete lines, from Charles Barkley in 1992 to LeBron James in 2003, each modeled on Jordan's template.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jumpman Revenue Soars</h2>
Jordan Brand became a standalone Nike division in 1997 and still powers earnings today. For the quarter that ended May. 31, Nike <a href="https://investors.nike.com/investors/news-events-and-reports/investor-news/investor-news-details/2025/NIKE-Inc--Reports-Fiscal-2025-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-Results/default.aspx">posted </a>$11.1 billion in revenue. Jordan Brand recorded $7.27 for the full fiscal year, following a 16% year-over-year decline.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinbirnbaum/2023/10/02/michael-jordan-joins-forbes-400-worth-3-billion/">Forbes</a> reported Jordan's net worth at about $3 billion, driven by royalties exceeding $150 million a year. Hype stays sharp.<a href="https://sneakernews.com/2025/04/23/travis-scott-jordan-jumpman-jack-bright-cactus-fz8117-102-release-date/"> Sneaker News</a> reported the Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack "Bright Cactus" sold out on April 30 at $200.<a href="https://www.gq.com/story/air-jordan-1-low-chicago-2025-release"> GQ</a> wrote that the Air Jordan 1 Low "Chicago" returns this holiday season for $140.&nbsp;

'Nike Likely to Raise Prices Even More After Vietnam Trade Deal'- Bloomberg

Economist Peter Schiff is calling out President Donald Trump&#8217;s newly announced trade deal with Vietnam, warning that American consumers are likely to bear the brunt of the agreement.
What Happened: On Thursday, in a post on X, Schiff criticized the deal, saying that it gives Vietnamese consumers an upper hand while leaving American shoppers worse off. 
Schiff didn't hold back when declaring &#8220;Americans are losers and Vietnamese are winners&#8221; under the new trade deal, saying that U.S. consumers will end up paying more for Vietnamese imports, while buyers in Vietnam gain cheaper access to American goods.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46128469/nike-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-headwinds-expected-to-moderate-moving-forward-company">Nike Q4 Earnings: Revenue Beat, EPS Beat, Headwinds Expected To Moderate Moving Forward, Company Playing &#8216;Sport Offense&#8217;</a>
He says this about consumers in both nations, &#8220;relative to their positions under Biden,&#8221; which essentially means to say that Americans are worse off, while the Vietnamese are better off than they were last year, as a result of this deal.
Here, Schiff is referring to the terms of the new agreement, according to which the U.S. will charge 20% on all imports from Vietnam, while the latter will not charge anything on American imports. 
The U.S. will also be imposing a steeper 40% tariff on goods that pass through Vietnam, a process known as trans-shipment. This move is aimed at tackling Chinese goods that flow through Vietnam, while sporting the label &#8220;Made In Vietnam,&#8221; according to a report by Reuters.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">As a result of Trump&#39;s trade deal with Vietnam, Americans are losers and Vietnamese are winners, relative to their positions under Biden.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Schiff has been a vocal critic of Trump&#8217;s tariff regime over the past couple of months, referring to them as a &#8220;self-inflicted wound,&#8221; especially the ones that were imposed on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43613133/trumps-25-tarrifs-a-self-inflicted-wound-says-economist-amid-warnings-of-fewer-american-jobs-peter-schiff-says-youll-pay-more-for-cars-and-homes">steel and aluminum imports</a>.
Nearly two months ago, footwear giants Adidas AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADDYY#OTC">ADDYY</a>) and Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), among several others, had called the tariffs an &#8220;existential threat,&#8221; given their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45195137/footwear-titans-nike-adidas-call-tariffs-an-existential-threat-appeal-to-trump-for-relief-this-is-an-emergency">reliance on countries</a> such as China, Vietnam, and Cambodia for sourcing. 
On Wednesday, following the announcement of the trade deal with Vietnam, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46230421/nike-stock-is-rising-wednesday-whats-going-on">shares of Nike</a> surged 4.06%, alongside other apparel stocks such as Under Armour Inc.

Peter Schiff Warns 'Americans Will Suffer' And 'Vietnamese Will Enjoy' After Trump's Trade Deal With Hanoi

Nike, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday, along with other apparel stocks, following President Donald Trump&#8216;s announcement of a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114784170652465525">new trade agreement with Vietnam</a>, a key manufacturing hub for the fashion and apparel industry.
What To Know:&nbsp;Trump's deal imposes a 20% U.S. tariff on Vietnamese imports but gives American companies tariff-free access to Vietnamese markets in return. It also includes a 40% tariff on goods transshipped through Vietnam.
The announcement comes as a 90-day pause on Trump's reciprocal tariffs nears expiration. Vietnam's tariff rate, previously 46%, was cut to 10% during the pause, which is set to expire in about a week.
The deal may be driving apparel stocks higher despite the new 20% tariff, as it formalizes trade terms with a important manufacturing hub, grants the U.S. access to Vietnamese markets and reduces uncertainty ahead of the looming expiration of the reciprocal tariff pause.
Other apparel names trading higher include Under Armour (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UA#NYSE">UA</a>) and RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>).

NKE Price Action: At the time of writing, Nike stock is trading 3.72% higher at $76.14, according to data from <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.benzinga.com/pro/&amp;ved=2ahUKEwirhuaa2p6OAxXvEVkFHQnnGT0QFnoECAwQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw0xIsPvjIcIIsWev01-6zR2">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Overall the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the index, was up around 4% in the first half of 2025. This was a lower gain than the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, which had a 5.7% gain in the first half.

Why It's Important: Nvidia was one of the new Dow Jones components <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/12/42726598/dow-jones-2024-scoreboard-top-5-winners-losers-and-how-amazon-nvidia-could-reshape-2025">added in 2024</a> and the stock is one of the top performers in the first half of 2025. The stock replaced Intel, which was a top decliner in recent years.
The index also got rid of Walgreens, which was another poor performer in recent years. Its replacement Amazon was flat for the first half of 2025.
The new index makeup is showing strong signs of positive returns.
With 21 of the components positive year-to-date and one flat, this could mark one of the best years by the number of gainers in recent history.
In 2024, 18 of the 30 stocks were up for the full year. In 2023, 19 of the stocks in the index were up.
Perhaps most surprising is that two of the Magnificent Seven stocks rank among the worst performers in the first half of 2025, despite being part of the four Mag 7 members included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Apple was the fourth-worst performer in the index for the first half, falling 18.1%. That marks a sharp reversal from its standout status as the only Dow Jones stock to rank among the top gainers in both 2023 and 2024.
Amazon ranked ninth with a flat return, as only eight of the components were down. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average remains one of the most closely watched stock market indexes, serving as a gauge of overall market health. With only 30 stocks and a weighting based on stock price, rather than market capitalization, the index is less frequently used by some analysts and market experts than the broader S&amp;P 500 Index.

Argus Research Upgrades Nike to Buy, Maintains Price Target to $85

A collapsing U.S. dollar is reshaping the global investing landscape, and seven U.S. companies with strong international sales could be the biggest winners if the greenback keeps sliding into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">second half of 2025.</a>
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) — a widely followed gauge tracking the greenback&#8217;s performance against a basket of currencies — has plunged 10.5% year-to-date, logging its worst first-half performance since 1991 and marking five straight months of declines, a streak not seen since 2017.
The move is stirring investor attention toward U.S. multinationals that earn the bulk of their revenue abroad, as a weaker dollar makes their goods and services more affordable in foreign markets and boosts the value of overseas profits.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Triggered The Dollar Collapse?</h1>
The dollar's decline defied early expectations of strength under President Donald Trump, whose tax cuts and protectionist trade agenda initially pointed to a stronger greenback — but ultimately had the opposite effect.
The turning point came in March, when Germany scrapped its fiscal restraint and launched a large-scale stimulus, while the EU unveiled its €800 billion "ReArm Europe" plan. Capital quickly shifted into the eurozone and triggered a sharp euro appreciation. 
In April, Trump's sweeping "Liberation Day" tariffs sparked uncertainty and heightened market anxiety over U.S. assets.
The dollar took another hit when the U.S. economy contracted 0.5% in the first quarter, and Moody's downgraded U.S. sovereign debt, stripping the country of its last AAA rating amid mounting debt and rising interest costs.
The situation worsened as President Trump escalated attacks on the Federal Reserve's independence, repeatedly pressuring Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates. The political interference rattled markets, fueling speculation that Powell could be replaced in May 2026 by a more dovish and Trump-aligned successor, further eroding confidence in the dollar.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">7 U.S. Multinationals Rallying As The Dollar Sinks</h1>
A weaker dollar boosts U.S. companies that sell most of their goods or services abroad by increasing their global competitiveness and raising the value of foreign revenues when converted back to dollars.
Here are seven U.S. stocks that are not only globally exposed — but also outperformed the market in June as the greenback fell:

Dollar's Biggest Crash In Decades: These 7 Stocks Could Win Big

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed further improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 surging to fresh records during the session as investors responded to easing trade tensions and geopolitical risks with robust buying.
President Donald Trump said the U.S. is in the process of finalizing multiple trade agreements, suggesting that four to five deals are either completed or close to completion ahead of a key July 9 deadline. Sentiment was further lifted after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed a new U.S.-China trade accord that includes tariff reductions and safeguards for rare earth imports.
Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) jumped 15% on Friday after reporting quarterly earnings that crushed Wall Street expectations. Boeing Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) advanced 6% following a bullish analyst note from RedBurn Atlantic.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with communication services, consumer discretionary and industrials stocks recording the biggest gains on Friday. However, energy and health care stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 432 points to 43,819.27 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.52% to 6,173.07 with the index gaining as much as 0.76% to a high of 6,187.68 earlier during the session, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.52% to 20,273.46 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Progress Software Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRGS#NASDAQ">PRGS</a>) and Quantum Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QMCO#NASDAQ">QMCO</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 64.6, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 62.7.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
