What this means
Our record lists no parent company for Nike, so decisions about ingredients and testing sit with the brand itself.
We hold no active third-party certification for Nike, so the statuses above rest on the sources listed below rather than on a certifier's audit.
Where a status above reads "unverified", it means we have not yet found a source we can stand behind — not that the answer is negative. We publish sourced facts and dates so you can judge them yourself; see how we verify.
