If your Nike shoes or clothes develop a material or workmanship flaw within two years of the manufacture date, you can still return the item (some exceptions apply). The manufacture date can be found on the item’s tag. Please note, the item will be subject to an inspection process to determine if it's defective or faulty.

  • For Nike store purchases, please return the item to the original place of purchase.
  • For Nike platform orders, please contact us.

Please note, returned products that were manufactured more than two years ago may be returned to the consumer without inspection.
