Nike’s last quarter results surpassed analysts’ expectations, and stocks jumped as much as 12%, giving new CEO Elliot Hill a much-needed boost as he reported his first earnings call.

Hill told investors his new strategy involves working more closely with wholesalers who felt the sneaker brand had turned its back on their partnerships. The company also plans to aggressively move old inventory.
