Nike Factory Store - Jackson — Attraction in Jackson Township

This was my first time shopping at a Nike Outlet and I got tricked into spending the most I have ever spent on clothing in a single store all thanks to a slick marketing strategy.

When you pass by the store it’s very catchy; huge black and red signs that read 50% off and 40% off give the impression that a huge sale is going on. Also if you spend $100 or more you get a “free $25 gift card” so already you’re like this is awesome! But now for the catch! On the tag of the clothing they have 2 prices, one is a suggested retail price and the other is something labeled “our price” The catch is that the 50% and 40% off only apply to the suggested price not the “our price” so you really end up barely getting anything off.

Example: I bought a pair of shorts with a suggested price of $35 (by the way I will never buy shorts for $35 not even cargos) A shiny purple sticker is placed on that same tag sometimes covering the suggested price which has 2 prices, the one on top reads $25 with tiny words below it that reads “SUGG. RETAIL” immediately below that the words “OUR PRICE” and below that is a price of $19.99 (confusing huh). At this point I’m totally falling for the $19.99 being the actual price plus I get 50% off on top of that! Say no more, I snatched it off the rack only to find out at the register that the 50% off only applies to the $35 suggested retail and not the “our price” of $19.99. So after 50% off of the suggested retail I got the shorts for $17.50 for a total fake savings of “$17.50” when in fact I only saved $2.49 had I just bought it for the regular retail price of $19.99.

To add insult to injury after spending more than a hundred bucks I received that free $25 gift card but in order to use it you must spend a minimum of $50 on your next visit! Get outta Town! Really!

In all I spent the most I have ever spent on clothes in a single store + I got duped and I hate getting duped. To me these marketing strategies are one step away from a total scam and for that I will never again shop at a Nike outlet. I have already changed my preferred running shoe brand for life as a result. Honestly I was better off shopping at my...

It's been a while since I've ventured out to the Nike Outlet in Jackson (and I use the word "outlet loosely"). What is supposed to be a outlet has turned out to be s huge disappointment. I use to come here all of the time to get 3 - 4 pairs of sneakers at a time, however today I am walking out emptied handed. There was only 1 pair of sneakers in the entire store that I liked (see pic) & they were $169.99, are you kidding me? I refuse to pay that much for some sneakers, they claim the retail rate is $190.00, well I know who won't be buying them, this is not how I choose to spend my hard earned pennies. There were some decent sales on tee shirts & hoodies, however that's not what I came here for. The biggest surprise to me was the clearance wall. Can you believe they now sell refurbished footwear? Yeah you read it right, I'll say it again, "They sell refurbished footwear (see pic of wall). What is this, the Goodwill Store? Look I like a bargain and choose to spend my money wisely, you can do what you want, but I don't want anyones gently worn, refurbished or whatever they chose to call them sneakers. I'm so disappointed that the only sneakers in my price range is someone's hand- me downs and that so many businesses are taking this post- COVID thing too far with inflating prices, but this is not the platform for that so I digress. Anyway now I can leave this store with disappointment...

I am in the process of replacing my 270 sneakers with new pairs. While browsing the clearance rack, I found a pair of all-white 270 sneakers with no marked price. A team member informed me that the price was $160 with an additional 30% discount. This pricing seemed inconsistent, as items on the clearance rack should receive 30% off the clearance price. Despite this, I proceeded with my purchase. While checking out my $400+ order, I noticed that the sneakers had been worn outside, rather than just tried on. I requested an additional discount due to their condition. The cashier informed me that he needed to consult with his manager Carmalina. After doing so, the manager refused, stating that the 30% discount was already applied. Having worked at Nike myself, I know that an additional discount could have been warranted in this situation. However, no further discount was offered, which led me to question the decision and feel undervalued as a customer. Ultimately, I chose not to purchase the sneakers. Just purchase my other items since I invested over 45 minutes in this transaction, I left dissatisfied. This experience, coupled with the lack of additional discount and perceived bias, has impacted my view of the store, even though other staff...
