Yes. You use a long "e" at the end.
-
ny-kee
-
I say it like Ni-kee
-
No, I don't pronounce it with a long 'e'. I say it as one syllable, 'Nike'.
-
I do, but I wear vans and Reeboks, so I don't say it often.
-
Yes i use the 'e'
-
I pronounce it as: Nye-Key.
-
yes, with the e at the end
-
no i pronounce it Nike with no é on the end. Wouldnt it be spelt like Niké if it was? Like adidas. Not Adeedass. Might be coz im british?
-
Nike, (pronounced 'nye-kee')was the name of a Greek goddess. (Godess of victory.) Nike shoes are named 'Nike' to suggest that wearing them will make the wearer 'win' more, be more 'victorious.'

WHAT THE HELL DOES THE COMPANY SAY! that is what matters really. Thats like the english calling Home Depot (DEPOW). Anyway i think its nike but im curious how tiger woods pronounces it as.
-
Look at yourselves, If you say Niké or whatever, you need to write "Ny-kee" or something like that. What do you call a boy named Mike? "My-Key"? If it was to be pronounced Ny-key they would have written it like that.. Common sense.. And I don't even speak English..
-
Yes it is pronounced with the "e"
-
Like bike/-
-
I heared both being used, i dont know which it is, and i say whatever comes out of my head first.

Well I always thought it was pronounced with the E but recently I have heard it without. Now I know it's named after the Greek goddess I now know the E should be pronounced. Thank you for clearing that up for me. However, English is a strange amalgam of many languages and as such it has many eccentric spellings and pronunciations which have been imported from some language. Sometimes these have been anglicized and sometimes not. One case... as a newcomer to America, I got a very funny look when I asked for a pound of "turbutt fill-it." He thought I was being funny (although I could tell he wasn't amused). In England, the pronunciations of both 'turbot' and 'fillet' have been completely anglicized, but not in America. At least, not in Texas. So Nike (to rhyme with bike) may not be wrong - just anglicized. And finally, just to confuse things, how about hyperbole and Penelope?

Rhymes with "My Key"
-
I've always pronounced it like 'Nykey'.
-
I say it with the "e", such as "Nie-key", but I've noticed that here in Europe many people just say Nike as in bike. It's all about languages and culture.
-
Here in the US, we pronounce it Naikey. Our TV commerials in US calls it Naikey.
-
I hate it when people say nike without the e sound. It is a huge pet peeve of mine. call the company and see how they answer the phone.
