Welcome to Why You Shouldn't Make Customer-Visible Decisions Based On DNS Resolver Geolocation or DNS Load Balancing Sucks 101. Nike.com is geolocating the server IP address which requests the web site address. This isn't yours or 8.8.8.8 but instead some unicast IP address to which your 8.8.8.8 packet was routed. Possibly in Canada. Nike appears to think so. Regards, Bill Herrin -- Hire me! https://bill.herrin.us/resume/
