Inventories totaled $9.3 billion, up 43% year-over-year. Margins fell to 42.9% as a result of higher markdowns, as well as other unfavorable cost changes.
"Our growth was broad-based and was driven by our expanding digital leadership and brand strength. These results give us confidence in delivering the year as our competitive advantages continue to fuel our momentum," said John Donahoe, president and CEO of Nike.
