Nike is pronounced Nikey, and much to the disappointment of many who argue that the actual pronunciation of the global footwear giant is Nike (Nyke), the company's chairman of the board, Philip Knight, officially confirmed that Nike is pronounced Nikey. Just as this meme says, why can't we pronounce bike as bikee and Mike as Mikee? We don't pronounce that way because words like a bike, Mike, etc. belong to English whereas Nike is a Greek word and it doesn't have a standard pronunciation in English.
