It is meant to be pronounced 'naiki'. Still, a lot of people pronounce it as to rhyme with 'like'. Just say it however you feel like saying it.

Nike (nī'kē)...that's how it's pronounced. Not sure if it's the same company, but Nike is the biggest brand name for sports/fitness clothing, shoes and accessories... even sports equipment like basketballs..
If you still can't pronounce it, go to dictionary.com and type in NIKE in the search box... when the definition comes up, you can click on a botton to hear the pronounciation, if you have speakers...

In Greece, they pronounce the name Nike (Greek Goddess of Victory, much used in ancient architecture on archway keystones) as neye-key. Long I sound, Long E sound.
Since the Nike corporation uses the Victory Goddess' name as their trademark, my bet is on this pronunciation.

Two syllables...not Nike (one syllable). It is named after the goddess Athena who was also known as Athena Nike.
