Thankfully wiktionary only has a single IPA pronunciation for both the shoe and the brand and they’re the same. ˈnaɪkiː.
In English. It’s not even an english word though.
My point, which you seem to not understand, is that the company doesn’t define how the name is pronounced (especially if they would go “like the godess”). It was a word before they used it. And “gif” is an acronym first, regardless of what the creator of the image format might think.

They do. They created the product they get to create the pronunciation.
Are you talking about Nike or gif, cause gif was not a word before.
… this has no bearing on the pronunciation at all.
