Many Nike stores across Russia were open on Friday afternoon, according to Reuters, more than a week after the sportswear company announced that it was temporarily closing all its stores in the country.
At one of the six stores in Moscow, which was contacted by Reuters by telephone, an official said: “We do not have information yet, but I think the store will be open for at least a month.”
Nike announced on March 3 that it would suspend operations in all of its stores in Russia, following several Western brands that did so after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Nike has about 100 stores in Russia, according to the list of stores on its website, which shows that everything is “open”.
A Nike employee at the company’s corporate offices in Russia told Reuters that many of its stores remained open. The official said, however, that the “Nike factory stores” had been temporarily closed.
Nike did not respond to a request for comment.
