In my opinion very well usable, a really nice diminutive form of Berenike.
Cool and sophisticated sound, style and appearance. Sneaker manufacturer and brand name is of secondary interest to me, playing just a marginal role, a tiny non-issue.

P.S.: Pronunciation in the original obviously Nee-keh.

Well, Nike's Greek, isn't it? Not Nordic like those names. My impression is that the original Greek pronunciation would be something like Neekee.Ooh, actually, it's from Nixe not Nike. So it would be like...Neekhhhee.I like the nye-kee sound. It's a fun name.
