There is no difference, factory stores are outlet stores. Nike was just getting away from the term "outlet" because of what people come to expect. There are clearance stores, factory stores and brand stores, 2 of which are NikeTowns while the rest are just Nike stores.

Yeah dude the AM90 Corks sold out in about 30 mins, we didnt get that many pairs but when they restocked in women's people were going ape over them.
I like working there alot, it gets pretty hectic with all the tourists from Mag Mile. I enjoy it overall, gotta represent that swoosh right my man.

I'd say you're good to go... I don't think they waste background checks on people they don't intend to hire.

Yeah everybody is chill in there.. Half of our manager are in the mid to late 20's.
To goldmanrachs; asking about the employee uniform. Its called staff dress at Nike, you get it 4 times a year (each season). You get to chose from a couple pre-composed pacakages (1 pair of shoes, 2 pants, 2 shirts, and a jacket of some sort). As far as whether you can wear your own shoes, only on Fridays. The staff dress is not free, you have to pay for half of the total cost's taxes. Ex. $450 is the price of everything you pay the TAXES on $275.

I do know the staff dress is different at a Nike outlet/ factory store.

at my store (Factory) they gave us 2 blue legend tees, and any 2 black pants or shorts we wanted, they gave us the option of any pair of shoes in the store up to 85 bucks but I declined to take anything. We can wear any shoes we want to as long as they're Nike/Jordan and they need to be clean.

Nike has stupid names for things. Athletes = employees, coaches = managers, huddles = meetings, rookie camp = training. So just be prepared to fill out paper work, learn about Nike and watch a bunch of boring videos.

There is a difference........If you go to a factory store and an outlet store, you`ll see a different in the products they sell.
Like in the outlet thread, alot of folks post pictures from nike outlet locations. if i took pics of what the two nike factory stores here in Saint Louis had, you`d definitely be able to tell which was which.
one example, the factory store still has lowtop Lebron XI in that lime yellow or bright yellow colorway and they are $130. the ONLY size they have them in is sz 11......i mean a TON of them and no other sizes. there was some type of flaw with the sz 11s of that model and color (i was told) so thats why they still have them.
Shoe is over 2 years old, lol.

No. There isn't. Nike just renamed the outlet stores as factory stores.

Either way the prices are heavily discounted. I have found shoes at about %70 off.

It's common for most companies to use the term factory in place of outlet but then what would we consider Nike's new "community" stores as?

Well im only going by the information she said she was given during her training/orientation. She brought it up to me after i asked if she knew why they never got any of the retro jordans and stuff like that and thats when she explained about nike factory getting RTV items, which i knew about since i worked at champs a long time ago.
