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

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

The representative did not specify how many employees were laid off. It is not immediately clear how many people work in Nike's technology division.

Bloomberg News first reported the development earlier on Monday.

The Air Jordan maker in March forecast a steeper drop in fourth-quarter revenue than analysts had expected, striking a cautious tone as it works to rekindle interest among consumers who have defected to trendier rivals.

Earlier this month, Nike CEO Elliott Hill made several changes to the senior leadership team. Hill took the helm in October to lead a turnaround at a company that has lately struggled to design new and innovative shoes.

Dolce & Gabbana beckoned the warm weather with crumpled, take-me-anywhere comfort in their menswear collection for spring-summer 2026, previewed during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday.

The show opened and closed with a relaxed pajama silhouette — deliberately rumpled and effortless — in a clash of stripes, with both shorts and long trousers.

The Beethoven soundtrack belied designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s more deliberate intent, underscoring the designers' structured approach to soft tailoring.

A broad shoulder double-breasted suit jacket and tie worn with pink pinstriped PJ pants encapsulated the classic summer dilemma: work vs. pleasure.

Raw knitwear, or furry overcoats, added texture. Boxers peeked out of waistbands, and big shirt cuffs out of jacket sleeves, challenging formal and casual codes.

Nothing was cleaner on the runway than a crisp striped pajama top in sky-blue and white stripes tucked into white leather Bermuda shorts — good for work and for play.

The designers' finale featured pajama suits, shorts and pants, with beaded floral patterned embroidery for an evening seaside shimmer, worn with fuzzy sliders. Twin cameo brooches gave an antique accent.

The crowd outside got to share in the fun when the finale models took the looks onto the streets, taking a full lap outside the designers’ Metropol theater. Front-row guests included actors Zane Phillips, Theo James, Lucien Laviscount and Michele Morrone.
