EDITOR’S NOTE: Nike’s international operations were restructured in Q2 2029 following the closure of European distribution centers and the loss of Andean Bloc manufacturing contracts. The PATRIOT Collection is available in the United States only. Nike’s global market share has declined from 27% to 11% since 2026.

The most expensive running shoe in American history. FreedomFoam™ is rebranded React foam with a flag on it. The tactical boot is GSA-approved because the Sentinels buy in bulk.
