Charm pricing is a pricing strategy that involves setting product prices that end in an odd number, such as five, seven, or nine. This pricing strategy creates the perception of a lower cost and can increase the appeal of products to customers. Studies have shown that brands using charm pricing show higher sales by almost 4% compared to using "rounded" price points.
Nike chooses to round all their products on sale to end with .97. As you can see in the product listings above, the Nike Invincible 2 is priced at $104.97 and the Jordan All-Star Weekend BC is priced at $41.97. This way, buyers will view the products to cost $104 and $41 respectively, perceiving them to cost lesser than they actually do and be more willing to buy.
