Even though this subsidiary did not appear to have any staff or offices in Bermuda, it charged large trademark royalty fees each year to Nike’s European HQ for selling its trainers. Nike did this through a Bermudan subsidiary, Nike International Ltd, which held the company’s intellectual property rights for its sneaker brands – the crown jewels of the Nike empire.

However, from 2005 until 2014, Nike was able to shift vast sums of money out of the Netherlands to Bermuda, which is an offshore tax haven with zero tax.

They pay some tax on the near $8bn (£6bn) of revenue they receive from Nike sales across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In particular, two companies are at the heart of Nike’s Dutch operations. The money from sales of shoes flows out of the UK to the Netherlands. That would make sense, but that is not what happens.

MidsoleĪir in the forefoot and Nike's excellent CMP 010 foam throughout the midsole make this a soft, plush shoe with plenty of cushioning but lacking the responsiveness in some of its competitors. It has plenty of comfort and durability and most importantly, it is great value for money! Compared to the other shoes in this category like the Saucony Omni 20 and the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22, the Nike lacks real support for true over pronators but is fantastic value and a more than capable high mileage shoe! This is a perfect shoe for a neutral runner who wants just a bit more support in a shoe for longer runs and some guideance. The Nike Air Zoom Structure 24 is a supportive trainer which can handle most types of running.
