What happened
Nike is releasing a line of strength training products inspired by Michael Jordan, even though the company states it is overindexed with its classic footwear franchises. Meanwhile, Gap Inc. expanded its merchandising authority by launching a new product drop that utilized a renewed partnership with Isaac Mizrahi. Gap Inc. also launched a back-to-school campaign featuring a top YouTuber, which is showing early promise and a traffic bump.
