What can you say about a Nike outlet store?
We shop there because the prices are suppose to be cheaper than buying your Nike gear at the actually Nike Shop or buying Nike gear at a department store etc...
Well the prices really aren't that much better and the fact that you are shopping in the outlet store means that you are actually buying the factory seconds. The rejects that didn't make the cut to be sold in the other retailers or the big Nike Shop. They are just a little off in some way but that's the big secret that they don't want you to know.
As a matter of fact, if you are a fan of shopping at outlet malls because you think that you are saving a lot of money, you should know that you are buying less than perfect items that they won't put on the shelves anywhere else and this is true of all outlet stores. $80 is the discounted price for a pair of yoga pants? That's completely ridiculous! If they are $80 in the outlet store then how much are they at the Nike Shop?
The reason we stopped in was because our daughter needed some new shoes and when it comes to shoes, even though they are one off, they do have a pretty good clearance section. Don't waste your time looking on the regular racks because you'll just end up paying the regular price for some factory reject shoes but if you need some cheap kicks, go straight to the back wall where they keep the clearance shoes. What you see is what you get so if you find the perfect pair, they might not have your size but you can usually find something you like that fits and at a decent price. You might have to do some digging but it's worth it for the right deal.
My advice is to stay away from all of the other items especially clothing. You can find way better deals on comparable items online so don't waste your money.
Thanks...
Read moreMy partner and I were racially profiled at this location on 9/27. I’m from WA. I’m Black and my partner is Black. We were followed around the store. I’ve worked in retail back in the day, so I know when I’m being followed. There were several other older, white patrons that the associates never checked in with, but we were approached by three different associates during the 30 minutes we spent in the store. When I went to try something on, they told my partner that they could hold the pair of shoes they were holding at the front until we were done shopping, however my partner refused. I make six figures. I spent over $100 in the store during my visit. This was a very frustrating experience as someone who shops at Nike very often. The employees at this store need some anti-racist, unconscious bias training ASAP. I will not be returning to...
Read moreThis is a Nike outlet store that is fairly large in size. I was very disappointed in the inventory or lack of inventory. I came to buy multiple pairs of shoes. Unfortunately there were ZERO Air Force or Jordan’s. Air Force’s are super popular so are Jordan’s. I was told “ we only get leftovers and very few and they sell out immediately.” Well why the heck don’t you order more? They sell out immediately- tells me there is a high demand. You are a NIKE store, not a Big 5 or other shoe store. You are a NIKE store in Oregon probably 100 miles from the world headquarters of NIKE. This is unacceptable and should be remedied immediately. Btw, this store has been like this for years- wake...
