Nike’s $7.5 Million Stumble: Gender Discrimination Verdict
July 22, 2026
Nike’s long-running sex discrimination case has reached a jury after six days of trial, with the plaintiff arguing she was paid less and promoted more slowly because of her gender. The judge let the case go forward, saying there was enough evidence for jurors to decide whether Nike engaged in discrimination, and the plaintiff is also seeking punitive damages.
The broader lawsuit has been going on since 2018 and has centered on claims that Nike devalued women in pay and promotions, allegations the company has denied. WWD
