The Nike Innovation digital platform empowers everyday athletes to push sport forward—with their input and their actions.

What is Nike Innovation?

Nike Innovation exists to maximize human potential and make sport more accessible and inclusive for all.

What is the mission of Nike Innovation?

General

Nike Innovation is currently open to anyone who is an adult and located in the USA. If you have a body, you are an athlete*—and your input can help us innovate!

Who can join Nike Innovation?

No—polls must be completed in one pass. But we do our best to keep them short, so you can get back to playing, training, or recovering.

Can I fill out part of a poll to finish later?

In-lab research happens at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. We will reach out with opportunities that are right for you based on the profile information you provide. Increase your chances of being selected by completing additional polls reflecting your activity and movement.

How can I find in-lab experiences near me?

We value all athlete* participation and compensation varies by study. The research team will provide compensation information when you are selected for a specific study.

Will I be compensated for my participation?

Yes! Find the “Profile” section next to your dashboard. Choose “Activities” and modify your selections. Then hit “Save.”

Can I update my list of activities?

Participation

Once you’ve created your profile in the Nike Innovation App you’ll need to complete a few steps to start sharing your activity. 
 Read and agree to the “Nike Sport Research Lab” Informed Consent document that details how Nike Research will use your data. This is required to participate in research studies. 
Apple Health settings will open automatically. Allow the Innovation App to read and write all data fields. You can choose all or only some metrics. 
Before your first run, verify that your preferred fitness app is properly connected to Apple Health. Open iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Select the Health App. Select your preferred fitness app from the list and confirm all Health metrics are toggled “on.” 
Enable background app refresh by going to Settings > Nike Innovation. If not enabled, you’ll need to manually open the app to sync activities to your Activity List. 
Now you’re ready to track your activities! Have some fun and move the way you want. Feel free to keep to your current routine, whether that be a walk, run, or somewhere in between. You'll get a notification from Nike Innovation to complete a short survey after your activity syncs.

How do I Share an Activity with Nike Innovation?

No, only iOS devices are supported at this time.

Can I use my Android device to share my activity?

There are a few possible reasons your run isn’t displaying in your Activity List: 
 <ul>
 <li>Nike Innovation App isn’t connected to Apple Health: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Health App, select the Innovation App and toggle on all metrics.</li>
 <li>Preferred fitness app isn’t connected to the Innovation App: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Health App, select your fitness app and toggle on all metrics.</li>

 </ul>

Why isn’t my run on my Activity List in the Nike Innovation App?

If you didn’t get a push notification to complete a post-run survey, go to Settings > Notifications > Nike Innovation and toggle notifications to “on.” If notifications are not enabled, you’ll need to open the app to complete your survey. If you have notifications enabled, refer to “Why isn’t my run on my Activity List in the Innovation App” to make sure your fitness app to connected properly.

Why didn’t I get a notification to complete a run survey?

The easiest way is to use the model name and version number when answering a post-run survey.
    They’ll be listed on the tongue, side of the shoe, or the heel of the shoe. If you can’t find your shoe in the survey, select “My Shoe is Not Listed” to answer the shoe survey questions.
