What is the correct pronunciation for "niche"? Is it okay for Americans to pronounce it as "nitch"?

The Cambridge English Dictionary is the authority for "correct" pronunciation, at least in teaching, and it can be either /niːʃ/ (neesh) or /nJtʃ/ (nitch), though /niːʃ/ is the English pronunciation and /nJtʃ/ the American.
