Nike: contract-factory footprint by country, fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2026

Nike's Form 10-K for fiscal 2015 reported about 146 footwear factories in 14 countries, with Vietnam, China and Indonesia making about 43%, 32% and 20% of NIKE Brand footwear. For fiscal 2026 the 10-K reports 95 factories in 11 countries, with Vietnam, Indonesia and China at about 52%, 27% and 16% (Nike, Form 10-K). In June 2025 Nike's CFO said China supplied about 16% of its US shoe imports and that it aimed to cut that to a high single-digit share by May 2026 (Al Jazeera).
