Sportswear retailer Nike is laying off some of its employees in its technology division, a company representative told Reuters on Monday.

Nike has initiated a round of layoffs targeting its technology division, aligning with a broader turnaround plan for the brand. According to Reuters, the sportswear giant intends to outsource the responsibilities previously handled by the affected employees to external vendors.

Nike will shift some work to third-party vendors, the representative said in an email, adding that the changes were announced last week.
