For six decades, global sportswear giant Nike has been synonymous with innovation, style and performance. The brand’s signature Swoosh dons the likes of sneakers, apparel and equipment. And for athletes and those seeking everyday comfort, joining Nike’s loyalty program, Nike Membership, can unlock a host of perks.
We step into the benefits of the Nike Membership program and what you can expect when you join.
What are the benefits of Nike Membership?
Nike Membership isn’t a points-based program, nor does it offer ongoing discounts on products. But it does offer some great benefits, which we outline below.
- First and exclusive access to products.
- Access to Nike By You, Nike’s shoe customisation tool.
- Member-exclusive experiences, events, workshops and workouts.
- Access to member-exclusive apps like Nike Training Club and Nike Run Club.
- Add your interests for a personalised online shopping experience.
- Keep track of your orders and favourite items through your account portal.
- A Nike Member Reward on your birthday.
If you’re looking to get your hands on products as soon as they’re released – think sneakers and other apparel – then joining the program could be worthwhile. Nike Membership also unlocks access to free workout programs with Nike Training Club, so you can enjoy a range of strength, mobility and cardio exercises at your own pace.
