What is the difference between Nike Outlets and Nike Factory Stores?
In short, Nike refers to its outlets as Nike Factory Stores. So essentially they are one and the same.
As mentioned earlier, Nike Factory Stores have authentic Nike Products that are from previous seasons, products with slight defects or imperfections, and sometimes products that just aren't selling well at Nike's retail locations. The nice thing, most of these products are sold under retail or deep discounts.
What can you buy at Nike Outlets?
Nike Outlets exclusively carry Nike products. This also includes Jordan Brand and occasionally Converse. All types of product can be found in-store, from footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories. The type of product carried per store varies by location, so not every Nike Outlet will have the same offerings.
When do Nike Outlets restock?
Nike Outlets constantly are constantly getting in new products. New shipments of product are usually received every two weeks. Outside of that, products are stocked first thing in the morning or in the evening once the store has closed. To find refreshed inventory, go to the Nike Outlets as soon as they open at 10am local time. Find Nike Outlet hours of operation near you.
Occasionally there are some grails that can be found at Nike Outlets. Unfortunately, Nike Outlets don't post or advertise when they get in Jordans, Off-Whites, or other hype sneakers. We suggest going into your local Nike Outlet and checking regularly to increase the chances of finding some heat!
Do Nike Outlets carry new releases?
The short answer is no, Nike Outlets traditionally do not carry new releases on launch days etc. New releases are usually reserved for Nike’s in-line stores. However, from time-to-time, some Nike Outlets do get launch products, sometimes on the same day as regular retailers and sometimes a few weeks to months later. While Nike Outlets are typically thought out to be a discounted market, many products still show up at retail price, especially if it is a new release.
Is everything on sale at Nike Outlets?
No, not everything is on sale at Nike Outlets. With the supply and demand for products becoming harder to come by due to worldwide shipping issues along with a global pandemic, many products at Nike Outlets have begun to come in at full retail price rather than being on sale or discounted. These days it is common to see most products at full price rather than on sale in Nike Outlets. However, there are still sales and deals to be had.
Products can be marked down as low as 70%, but it is more common to see discounts of 50% or less. Don't expect to get deep discounts on the latest Jordans or this year's signature sneakers. To score the best deals be sure to show up at the Nike Outlets at 10am local time, right when they open.
What is Nike Friends & FamilyPass?
Most people don't know this, but you can receive up to 30% on top of any other discounts at the Nike Outlet by getting a Nike Friends & FamilyPass. Friends & FamilyPasses are randomly sent out every season to Nike+ Members.

Can you order online from Nike Outlets?
While you can no longer place phone orders or do store-to-store transfers for products, a new program called BOPIS is available to Nike+ members who have the Nike app downloaded on their mobile device. BOPIS stands for: Buy Online Pickup In Store. When you open your Nike app, you can pick to shop either Nike’s online web store or your local Nike Outlet. If you choose to shop a Nike Outlet, it will provide you with inventory specific to that location where you can purchase products and then pick them up in-store. Similar to other retailers, once you place an order you will receive a confirmation e-mail. A follow-up e-mail, usually within a few hours depending on the time you placed you order will provide you with details on how you can pick up your order at your local Nike Outlet.
For more information on Nike Outlets, contact Nike’s Customer Service department or visit your local store.

Our take on Nike Outlets
Nike Outlets are great for finding steals and sometimes hype collaborations, Jordans, and other retros. It is important to note that there are no guarantees when visiting a Nike Outlet. Stock, selection, and availability is dependent on location. We do suggest going to the outlets as soon as they open to see the latest stock!
