Really hard to give an opinion of golf clubs without knowing a lot of variables...
Like what kind of golfer are you?
What are you trying to get out of the clubs? (forgiveness, type of flight, more workability, help correct fade/slicing)
Budget?
How often do you play?
etc.
Also, kinda forget the idea about going to a golf mega store to get fitted. 95% of the people there are going to talk out of their asses. Those places are fine to test out a few clubs here and there (if they have a simulator), but it would be far better to talk to a class A PGA professional or a guy who does fitting for a living.
If you have a fairly consistent swing (approx. 23 or handicap or less) it is extremely advantageous to get fitted. If you are in the midst of a major swing change or don't know if the next shot will go in the air or not, go for a budget set, save the rest and get lessons.
As a former golf pro, I knew how to fit people fairly well, but our store has a guy who is a genius when it came to fitting. He was so good, I would take my own clients whom I gave lessons to and sent them to him with a few notes about their swing and what they were trying to accomplish. My head would spin when he would talk to me about golf clubs (he'd use terms nobody has ever heard of and I worked in the industry for over 10 years).
Anyways, to answer your question:
Nike clubs, as a whole, are as good as any. That being said, I'll likely never play them.

My swing feels like an unfolding lawn chair.

Big-time second to what DA-Bucks posted.
If a guy is fitting you without having you hit off of a board with tape on the sole of the club, tell him "no thanks".
Re: Nike specifically - they make everything from blades to game improvement clubs.
IMHO, you can do better than Nike at each type of iron. Not bad clubs, per se, but they are overpriced due to their huge ad budget.
Their drivers and hybrids are very good, though.

Sweet. My buddy plays those. About a 12 handicap I guess. He says they are more forgiving than pure blades, but he is able to shape shots as well. He tends to hit them on a lower trajectory than I do with my SuperSteel Taylormades - which I can't for the life of me keep out of the stratosphere, but the 962 irons check up real good on the greens with a well stuck ball.

Ha - I understand. That would be like you asking me if I could get you on at East Lake or Peachtree CC.
I'm a closet fanatic for Top 100 courses and am currently planning a trip to the UK in the middle fall to hit some of the R&A courses.
Did you know that outside of New York and California, Ohio has more World Top 100 courses than any other state in America?
Inverness, Muirfield Village, Scioto, Camargo CC - all very highly thought of in the golfing world. Most designed by either classic designers (CB MacDonald, Donald Ross) or new wave designers like Jack.
