I Have Something to Say

Why do people call Nike "Nikey" You don't ride a fucking bikey do you?

Because it's Greek and in Greek, the "e" is pronounced. We just approximate the pronunciation. In Greek it'd be pronounced more like "nee-kay".

its a derivative of the Greek word "νίκη", which is Greek for Victory, and is pronounced close to Nikey. Its also the name of the Greek Mythology Godless, Nike, who is the goddess of victory. The English pronunciation has evolved slightly, but its roots are Greek

The name comes from a Greek goddess of victory. That’s how it was pronounced.
