Its called "pre-auth" or "pre-authorization". It will show up on your statement for up to 48 hours but then will disappear since transaction is not "settled". During this period you would see a descriptor of transaction like NIKE NEW YORK 310XXXX, or if its dynamic/soft descriptor and merchant is utilizing it, it may say your order number and store like NIKE.COM 11-3939329.
