Dec 19 (Reuters) - Nike NKE.N posted a
smaller-than-expected drop in second-quarter revenue on
Thursday, as the embattled sportswear brand's release of newer
versions of performance and running shoes drew customers to its
stores and website.
The company's second-quarter net revenue fell to $12.35
billion from $13.39 billion a year earlier. Analysts had
expected a 9.41% fall to $12.13 billion, according to estimates
compiled by LSEG.
