Nike has for a long time provided support to athletes laying everything on the line for a win. Now, the apparel giant is looking to help those risking themselves to fight against the coronavirus.
On Tuesday, Nike announced they will be donating more than 130,000 pairs of shoes and socks to frontline workers who are battling to stop the spread of COVID-19. During the announcement the company said, “Nike athletes recognize the physical and mental resilience of healthcare athletes.”
The company seemed to be motivated by the need for healthcare workers to have comfortable footwear while they spend hours on their feet daily dealing with sick patients. This is why Nike committed to giving 30,000 pairs of Air Zoom Pulses to hospitals at several healthcare facilities across the U.S.
Nike isn’t stopping there, though. Star athletes like Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant and Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson To deliver the donated items.
