“We have always enjoyed a strong relationship with women, said Elliott Hill, Nike's Vice-President of USA Commerce. “We continue to deliver innovative products that meet the unique needs of women athletes. Now with our new nikewomen's catalog, we are deepening that relationship and making it easier for her to shop our brand and learn about our newest performance products.”
