FinCap Friday: Nike Eyes Growing Feet

For the EdPuzzle version of this activity, click here.

In this FinCap Friday we check out the latest news from Nike. A brand new subscription service launched in August of 2019 targeting children between the ages of 2 and 10. Parents will pay monthly to receive sneakers in the mail with personalized activities for their kid. Sounds wonderful, but many are curious if the price is worth it. How much would this cost for a family and what happens to all these sneakers when kids outgrow them? Find out in this week's FinCap Friday:

If you're short on time, try our simplified FinCap Friday (No Tech) with the questions embedded right into the slide deck!

Check out all of our FinCap Friday episodes here. They're not date-dependent so any of the 50+ in our catalog dating back to August 2018 can work throughout the coming year!
