For the record, over here most people used to go with the 'British' one until fifteen years ago or so when the notion that this was 'wrong' and we should say NY-KEE instead became widespread. I guess nowadays both are frequently used - like in most cases where American and British English differ.
Agreed on the comments above regarding Adidas - but while we're looking at the origins of the brand names, it makes one wonder if the Brits also pronounce the goddess Nike's name that way? Wikipedia has only the 'American' pronunciation on its page about the goddess, for what it's worth.
Honestly, I Would Wear Adidas Just on Principle

I can't contribute to a discussion of the NFL. But did you know the Brits pronounce 'Nike' wrong?

Yeah, since it's his name, I believe that's more accurate than the 'American' way.

Want to share the two pronunciations to help those of us neither American nor British?

No, and that surprises me, since Americans do not pronounce it as one would expect
