NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies :

Basis of presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of May 31, 2008 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The interim financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

On June 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157") for financial assets and liabilities, which clarifies the meaning of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the assets or liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income when they occur. The effective date of the provisions of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, was deferred by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position FAS 157-2 ("FSP FAS 157-2") and are effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions for non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. For additional information on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, see Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements.

Also effective June 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159") which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. As of November 30, 2008, the Company has not elected the fair value option for any additional financial assets and liabilities beyond those already prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “ Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active ("FSP FAS 157-3") .” FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FAS 157 in a market that is not active and defines additional key criteria in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 applies to financial assets within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in accordance with FAS 157. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance and the application of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141(R)") and SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("FAS 160"). These standards aim to improve, simplify, and converge international standards of accounting for business combinations and the reporting of noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The provisions of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The provisions of FAS 161 are effective for the quarter ending February 28, 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. ("FSP FAS 142-3")”. FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The intent of the position is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS 141(R), and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 are effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FSP FAS 142-3.

NOTE 2 - Inventories :

Inventory balances of $2,419.1 million and $2,438.4 million at November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008, respectively, were substantially all finished goods.

NOTE 3 - Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill :

The following table summarizes the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and goodwill balances as of November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008.

	November 30, 2008							May 31, 2008

Identifiable intangible assets, net						$	650.2						$	743.1
Goodwill						$	376.8						$	448.8

The effect of foreign exchange fluctuations for the six month period ended November 30, 2008 reduced goodwill and unamortized intangible assets by approximately $72.0 million and $85.5 million, respectively, resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the British pound sterling.

Amortization expense, which is included in selling and administrative expense, was $2.3 million and $2.4 million for the three month periods ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $4.5 million and $5.0 million for the six month periods ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for the remainder of fiscal year 2009 and each of the years ending May 31, 2010 through May 31, 2013 are as follows: 2009: $3.8 million; 2010: $8.4 million; 2011: $7.9 million; 2012: $7.3 million; 2013: $5.4 million.

NOTE 4 - Accrued Liabilities :

Accrued liabilities include the following:

		November 30, 2008				May 31, 2008

	(in millions)

Compensation and benefits, excluding taxes	$	396.1	$	538.0

Import and logistics costs		52.4		78.8
Other 1		369.3		386.4
Total accrued liabilities	$	1,499.7	$	1,761.9

1 Other consists of various accrued expenses and no individual item accounted for more than 5% of the balance at November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2008.

NOTE 5 – Fair Value Measurements:

Effective June 1, 2008, the Company adopted FAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements" for financial assets and liabilities. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). FAS 157 is applied under existing accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements.

The levels of hierarchy are described below:

-	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

-	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

-	Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most stringent level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents information about the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2008 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

November 30, 2008
	Fair Value Measurements Using
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Assets/Liabilities at Fair Value	Balance Sheet Classification
(in millions)

Assets
Derivatives	$	---	$	835.8	$	---	$	835.8	Other current assets and other long-term assets
Available-for-sale securities		252.3		283.5		---		535.8	Cash equivalents
Available-for-sale securities		236.0		772.0		---		1,008.0	Short-term investments

Liabilities
Derivatives	$	---	$	68.8	$	---	$	68.8	Accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities
Total Liabilities	$	---	$	68.8	$	---	$	68.8

Derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forwards, option contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of these derivatives contracts is determined using observable market inputs such as the forward pricing curve, currency volatilities, currency correlations, and interest rates, and considers nonperformance risk of the Company and that of its counterparties. Adjustments relating to these risks were not material for the period ending November 30, 2008.

Available-for-sale securities are primarily comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury and agency securities, corporate commercial paper and bonds. These securities are valued using market prices on both active markets (level 1) and less active markets (level 2). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

The Company had no material level three measurements as of November 30, 2008.

NOTE 6 – Income Taxes :

The effective tax rate for the six months ended November 30, 2008 was 27.0%. Reflected in the effective tax rate for the six month period ended November 30, 2008 is a reduction attributable to a settlement of prior year foreign taxes and the retroactive reinstatement of the research and development tax credit. The Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008 which was signed into law during the current quarter reinstated the U.S. federal research and development tax credit retroactive to January 1, 2008. As a result, the effective tax rate includes a retroactive tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Also reflected in the effective tax rate for the six months ended November 30, 2008 is a reduction in our on-going effective tax rate resulting from our operations outside of the United States; our tax rates on those operations are generally lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

As of November 30, 2008, the total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties were $283.1 million, $75.5 million of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. Total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, as of May 31, 2008 was $251.1 million, $60.6 million of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. The liability for payment of interest and penalties increased $15.3 million during the six months ended November 30, 2008. As of November 30, 2008, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were $88.5 million (excluding federal benefit).

The Company is subject to taxation primarily in the U.S., China and the Netherlands as well as various state and other foreign jurisdictions. While we believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than our accrued position. The Company has concluded substantially all U.S. federal income tax matters through fiscal year 2004. The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax years. The Company’s major foreign jurisdictions, China and the Netherlands, have concluded substantially all income tax matters through calendar year 1997 and fiscal year 2002, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the Internal Revenue Service audit for the 2005 and 2006 tax years will be completed during the next twelve months, which could result in a decrease in our balance of unrecognized tax benefits. We do not anticipate that total gross unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly as a result of full or partial settlement of audits within the next twelve months.

NOTE 7 - Comprehensive Income :

Comprehensive income, net of taxes, is as follows:

Total comprehensive income	$	282.8	$	384.2		$	902.9	$	980.7

NOTE 8 - Stock-Based Compensation :

A committee of the Board of Directors grants stock options and restricted stock under the NIKE, Inc. 1990 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1990 Plan”). The committee has granted substantially all stock options at 100% of the market price on the date of grant. Substantially all stock option grants outstanding under the 1990 Plan were granted in the first quarter of each fiscal year, vest ratably over four years, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. In addition to the 1990 Plan, the Company gives employees the right to purchase shares at a discount to the market price under employee stock purchase plans (“ESPPs”).

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”). Under FAS 123R, the Company estimates the fair value of options granted under the 1990 Plan and employees’ purchase rights under the ESPPs using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes this fair value as selling and administrative expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method.

The following table summarizes the Company’s total stock-based compensation expense:

		Three Months Ended November 30, __________________				Six Months Ended November 30, __________________
		2008	2007			2008	2007
		(in millions)

Stock Options 1	$	18.5	$	22.5	$	91.8	$	83.2
ESPPs		4.6		2.2		7.6		3.8
Restricted Stock		2.0		1.8		3.9		3.3
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	25.1	$	26.5	$	103.3	$	90.3

1 In accordance with FAS 123R, accelerated stock option expense is recorded for employees eligible for accelerated stock option vesting upon retirement. Accelerated stock option expense was $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $55.6 million and $39.2 million for the six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

As of November 30, 2008, the Company had $118.1 million of unrecognized compensation costs from stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized as selling and administrative expense over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

The weighted average fair value per share of the options granted during the six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 as computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model was $17.12 and $13.86, respectively. The weighted average assumptions used to estimate these fair values are as follows:

	Six Months Ended November 30, __________________
	2008			2007

Dividend yield		1.5	%		1.4	%
Expected volatility		32.4	%		20.4	%
Weighted-average expected life (in years)		5.0			5.0
Risk-free interest rate		3.4	%		4.8	%

Expected volatility is estimated based on the implied volatility in market traded options on the Company’s common stock with a term greater than one year, along with other factors. The weighted average expected life of options is based on an analysis of historical and expected future exercise patterns. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury (constant maturity) risk-free rate in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the options.

NOTE 9 - Earnings Per Common Share :

The following represents a reconciliation from basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share. Options to purchase an additional 13.9 million and 6.8 million shares of common stock were outstanding for the three months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 13.8 million and 6.8 million shares of common stock were outstanding for the six months ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options were antidilutive.

NOTE 10 - Operating Segments :

The Company’s operating segments are evidence of the structure of the Company’s internal organization. The major segments are defined by geographic regions for operations participating in NIKE brand sales activity excluding NIKE Golf and NIKE Bauer Hockey. Each NIKE brand geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, production, marketing and selling of sports and fitness footwear, apparel, and equipment. The “Other” category shown below primarily consists of the activities of Cole Haan, Converse Inc., Hurley International LLC, NIKE Golf and Umbro Ltd. in the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2008 and Cole Haan, Converse Inc., Exeter Brands Group LLC (whose primary business was the Starter brand business which was sold on December 17, 2007), Hurley International LLC, NIKE Bauer Hockey (which was sold on April 17, 2008) and NIKE Golf in the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2007. Activities represented in the "Other" category are considered immaterial for individual disclosure based on the aggregation criteria in SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

Where applicable, “Corporate” represents items necessary to reconcile to the consolidated financial statements, which generally include corporate activity and corporate eliminations.

Net revenues, as shown below, represent sales to external customers for each segment. Intercompany revenues have been eliminated and are immaterial for separate disclosure. The Company evaluates performance of individual operating segments based on pre-tax income. On a consolidated basis, this amount represents income before income taxes as shown in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Reconciling items for pre-tax income represent corporate costs that are not allocated to the operating segments for management reporting including corporate activity, stock-based compensation expense, certain currency exchange rate gains and losses on transactions, and intercompany eliminations for specific income statement items in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Accounts receivable, net, inventories and property, plant and equipment, net for operating segments are regularly reviewed and therefore provided below.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to fiscal 2009 presentation.

NOTE 11 - Commitments and Contingencies :

At November 30, 2008, the Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling $153.5 million. These letters of credit were issued primarily for the purchase of inventory.

There have been no other significant subsequent developments relating to the commitments and contingencies reported on the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 12 — Acquisition and Divestitures :

Acquisition:

On March 3, 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Umbro, a leading United Kingdom-based global soccer brand, for a purchase price of 290.5 million British pounds sterling in cash (approximately $576.4 million), inclusive of direct transaction costs. The acquisition of Umbro was accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations.” The purchase price was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values on the date of acquisition, with the remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities may be adjusted in future periods, subject to the availability of additional information during the allocation period regarding a pre-acquisition legal contingency.

Divestitures:

On December 17, 2007, the Company completed the sale of the Starter brand business to Iconix Brand Group, Inc. for $60.0 million in cash. This transaction resulted in a gain of $28.6 million during the year ended May 31, 2008.

On April 17, 2008, the Company completed the sale of NIKE Bauer Hockey Corp. for $189.2 million in cash to a group of private investors (“the Buyer”). The sale resulted in a net gain of $32.0 million recorded during the year ended May 31, 2008. This gain included the recognition of a $46.3 million cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income. As part of the terms of the sale agreement, the Company granted the Buyer a royalty free limited license for the use of certain NIKE trademarks for a transitional period of approximately two years. The Company deferred $41.0 million of the sale proceeds related to this license agreement, to be recognized over the license period.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, our revenues grew 6% to $4.6 billion, net income increased 9% to $391.0 million and we delivered diluted earnings per share of $0.80, a 13% increase compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Income before income taxes grew 1% for the second quarter, as a result of revenue growth and improved gross margins, offset by an increase in selling and administrative expenses driven by investments in company owned retail, rapidly growing emerging markets, non-NIKE branded businesses and normal wage inflation. A decrease in interest income earned on cash and short-term investments was also a factor in income before income taxes growing at a slower rate than revenues.

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were positively affected by a year-over-year decrease in our effective tax rate from 30.3% to 24.9%. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 reflects a reduction in the ongoing effective tax rate on operations outside of the U.S., the receipt of a foreign tax settlement and reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit signed into law during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

The deteriorating macroeconomic environment has caused significant volatility in global financial markets and has put significant pressure on discretionary consumer spending worldwide. While we believe that our Company is well positioned from a business and financial perspective, we are not immune to global economic conditions. These conditions could affect our business in a number of direct and indirect ways, including lower revenues from slowing consumer/customer demand for our products, reduced profit margins and /or increased costs, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, lack of credit availability and business disruptions due to difficulties experienced by suppliers and customers. We are taking steps we believe prudent and necessary to identify and manage potential exposures over the short and long term. These steps include reductions in planned selling and administrative expenses, including the implementation of a hiring freeze and reductions in planned spending for travel, meetings and demand creation, as well as tighter inventory purchasing and working capital management. We have also increased our focus on monitoring the financial health of suppliers and customers. Notwithstanding these efforts, our future performance is subject to the inherent uncertainty presented by the evolving macroeconomic conditions and our continued actions to respond to these conditions.

Revenues	$	4,590.1	$	4,339.5	6%	$	10,022.3	$	8,994.6	11%

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased revenues by 1 percentage point for the second quarter and 4 percentage points for the first six months of fiscal 2009. Excluding the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, all three of our international NIKE Brand regions delivered revenue growth in the second quarter, while our NIKE Brand U.S. region and our businesses classified as “Other” reported revenue declines. The NIKE Brand footwear and apparel businesses grew for the quarter while revenues for NIKE Brand equipment declined. For the NIKE Brand, all three product groups and all four geographic regions delivered revenue growth in the year-to-date-period. Our international regions contributed 5 and 6 percentage points of the consolidated revenue growth in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. Revenue in the U.S. Region decreased consolidated revenue growth by less than 1 percentage point in the second quarter, and the U.S. region contributed 1 percentage point of the consolidated revenue growth for the year-to-date period. Other businesses were comprised primarily of results from Cole Haan, Converse Inc., Hurley International LLC, NIKE Golf and Umbro Ltd. in fiscal 2009 and Cole Haan, Converse Inc., Exeter Brands Group LLC (consisting primarily of the Starter brand business which was sold on December 17, 2007), Hurley International LLC, Nike Bauer Hockey Corp. (which was sold on April 17, 2008) and NIKE Golf in fiscal 2008.

By product group, our NIKE Brand footwear business reported revenue growth of 8% and contributed $168 million of incremental revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Our NIKE Brand apparel and equipment businesses grew 8% and 1%, respectively, during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and combined added $108 million of incremental revenue. For the first six months of fiscal 2009, our NIKE Brand footwear business grew 14% and contributed $627 million of incremental revenue, while our NIKE Brand apparel and equipment businesses grew 13% and 8%, respectively, and combined added $383 million of incremental revenue.

Gross Margin

Gross margin %		44.7	%		44.3	%	40 bps		46.0%		44.6	%	140 bps

For the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the primary factors contributing to the increase in gross margins versus the prior year period were improved year-on-year hedge rates, most notably in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region, partially offset by higher warehousing costs, increased discounts on in-line product, primarily apparel, and increased inventory obsolescence reserves. For the year-to-date period, the increase in gross margins was primarily the result of improved year-on-year hedge rates, primarily in the EMEA region, and an improved sales mix of higher margin footwear products, most notably in the EMEA region, partially offset by higher warehousing costs in the U.S.

Selling and Administrative Expense

% of revenues		33.7	%		32.9	%	80 bps		34.0	%		31.8	%	220 bps

1 Demand creation consists of advertising and promotion expenses, including costs of endorsement contracts.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a minimal effect on selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter and increased selling and administrative expenses 3 percentage points for the first six months of fiscal 2009.

Excluding changes in exchange rates, operating overhead increased 10% and 12% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, versus the comparable prior year periods. These increases were primarily attributable to investments in growth drivers such as NIKE-owned retail primarily in the U.S., EMEA and Asia Pacific regions, infrastructure for emerging markets in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions and non-NIKE brand businesses. Normal wage inflation also contributed to the growth across all regions.

On a constant-currency basis, demand creation expense increased 4% and 22% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was primarily attributable to an increase in investments in athlete and team endorsements. The increase in the first six months of fiscal 2009 was primarily attributable to strategic investments in demand creation, including first quarter spending around the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and the European Football Championships, and increased investments in athlete and team endorsements across all regions.

For the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we will continue to take steps to reduce selling and administrative spending levels while shifting resources to fund initiatives that are critical to the achievement of our long-term growth goals. We expect our selling and administrative expenses will grow at a mid-single digit rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year, and decline by a double digit percentage in the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting lower demand creation and operating overhead spending. Our future selling and administrative expense levels may vary from our current expectations due to changes in the rapidly evolving macroeconomic environment and our reaction to those changes.

Other Income (Expense), net

		Three Months Ended November 30, ___________________					Six Months Ended November 30, ___________________

		(dollars in millions)

Other income (expense), net	$	12.4	$	0.9	1278%	$	10.8	$	(5.7	)	289%

Other income (expense), net is comprised primarily of gains and losses associated with the conversion of non-functional currency receivables and payables, the re-measurement of foreign currency derivative instruments, disposals of fixed assets, as well as other unusual or non-recurring transactions that are outside the normal course of business. For both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, other income (expense), net was primarily comprised of recognition of the deferred gain on the sale of the NIKE Bauer Hockey business and foreign currency hedge gains and losses.

Foreign currency hedge gains and losses reported in other income (expense), net are reflected in the Corporate line in our segment presentation of pre-tax income in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 10 — Operating Segments) .

For the second quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2009, we estimate that the combination of foreign currency hedge gains and losses in other income (expense), net and the favorable translation of foreign currency-denominated profits from our international businesses resulted in a year-over-year increase in consolidated income before income taxes of approximately $25 million and $96 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

	Three Months Ended November 30, ___________________						Six Months Ended November 30, ___________________
	2008		2007			% Change	2008		2007			% Change

Effective tax rate	24.9	%		30.3	%	(540 bps)	27.0	%		21.7	%	530 bps

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was 5.4 percentage points lower than the prior year period, due primarily to a reduction in the ongoing effective tax rate on operations outside of the U.S., the receipt of a foreign tax settlement and reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit signed into law during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. We estimate that our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2009 will be approximately 28%.

The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2009 was 5.3 percentage points higher than the effective tax rate for the comparable period in fiscal 2008, due primarily to a one-time tax benefit realized in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. In the years prior to fiscal 2008, several of our international entities generated losses for which we did not recognize the corresponding tax benefits, as the realization of those benefits was uncertain. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we took the steps necessary to realize these benefits, resulting in a one-time tax benefit of $105.4 million.

Futures Orders

Worldwide futures and advance orders for NIKE Brand footwear and apparel, scheduled for delivery from December 2008 through April 2009, were 1% lower than such orders reported for the comparable period of fiscal 2008. This futures growth rate is calculated based upon our forecasts of the actual exchange rates under which our revenues will be translated during this period, which approximate current spot rates. The net effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates contributed approximately 7 percentage points to the futures decline versus the same period in the prior year. Excluding this currency impact, unit sales volume increases for footwear were the primary growth driver in overall futures and advance orders.

The reported futures and advance orders growth rate is not necessarily indicative of our expectation of revenue growth during this period. This is due to year-over-year changes in shipment timing, and because the mix of orders can shift between advance/futures and at-once orders. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations as well as differing levels of order cancellations and discounts can cause differences in the comparisons between advance/futures orders and actual revenues. Moreover, a significant portion of our revenue is not derived from futures and advance orders, including at-once and closeout sales of NIKE Brand footwear and apparel, wholesale sales NIKE Brand of equipment, Cole Haan, Converse, Hurley, NIKE Golf, Umbro and retail sales across all brands.

For the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2009, the increase in U.S. footwear revenue was primarily attributable to low-single digit percentage growth in average selling price per pair compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in average selling price per pair was attributable to strategic price increases, increased sales mix of higher priced NIKE brand sportswear, running and Brand Jordan products, and improved pricing on close-out products.

Average selling price per unit for U.S. apparel declined in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily as the result of a higher mix of close-out sales. Unit sales also decreased slightly in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 reflecting a more challenging retail environment, resulting in a decrease in the U.S. apparel revenues in the second quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2009, the increase in unit sales more than offset the decrease in average selling price per unit, resulting in a year-over-year increase in U.S. apparel revenues.

Pre-tax income for the U.S. Region declined in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the decline was primarily the result of lower gross margins, principally for apparel, and higher operating overhead expenses, due largely to the expansion of NIKE-owned retail. In addition to these factors, profitability for the first six months of fiscal 2009 also reflected higher demand creation spending.

For the EMEA Region, changes in currency exchange rates contributed 2 and 10 percentage points of the revenue growth during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. Excluding changes in currency exchange rates, most markets within the region increased revenues during the quarter and year-to-date period. The U.K. grew 2% and 4% for the second quarter and year-to date period, respectively, while the emerging markets in the region grew 21% and 30% for the second quarter and year-to-date period respectively, driven by strong results in Russia. These results more than offset lower revenues in Southern Europe.

Excluding changes in exchange rates, footwear revenues increased 4% and 7% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in footwear revenue was attributable to high single-digit percentage growth in unit sales, partially offset by a slight decrease in average selling price per pair. The increase in unit sales was primarily driven by higher demand for our NIKE brand sportswear and kids products. The slight decrease in average selling price per pair resulted from a shift in product mix from higher priced to lower priced models, most notably within kids and NIKE brand sportswear products.

Excluding changes in exchange rates, apparel revenues increased 4% and 2% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to double-digit increases in unit sales partially offset by lower average selling prices as a result of a higher mix of close-out sales.

In the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, pre-tax income for EMEA grew at a faster rate than revenue, as favorable foreign currency translation and higher gross margins more than offset higher selling and administrative expenses.

In the Asia Pacific Region, changes in currency exchange rates contributed 5 and 7 percentage points of revenue growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. While nearly all countries within the region reported revenue growth on a currency-neutral basis for both the quarter and year-to-date period, China continues to be the primary driver of growth, as revenues increased 27% and 40% on a currency-neutral basis for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. The revenue growth in China was primarily due to expansion in both the number of stores selling NIKE products and sales through existing retail stores. On a currency neutral basis, revenue in Japan was up 7% and 5% for the second quarter and year-to-date period respectively, versus the similar periods in the prior year.

Footwear and apparel revenue growth for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009 were driven largely by increased unit sales, most notably in China, slightly offset by mid-single digit reductions in average selling prices resulting primarily from increased discounts on in-line products.

The increase in Asia Pacific pre-tax income during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009 was the result of revenue growth, expanding gross margins and favorable foreign currency translation, which more than offset higher selling and administrative expenses.

In the Americas Region, changes in currency exchange rates negatively impacted revenue growth by approximately 2 percentage points in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and contributed 3 percentage points of revenue growth for the first six months of fiscal 2009. Excluding the changes in foreign currency exchange rates, all markets in the region reported revenue growth in both the second quarter and year-to-date period, led by Brazil, Argentina and Mexico.

The increase in pre-tax income versus the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2008 was primarily the result of higher revenues and selling and administrative expense leverage.

		2008	2007		% Change		2008	2007		% Change

Pre-tax income		20.5		70.8	(71)%		106.8		166.0	(36)%

For the first six months of fiscal 2009, our Other businesses were primarily comprised of Cole Haan, Converse, Hurley, NIKE Golf and Umbro (which was acquired on March 3, 2008). For the first six months of fiscal 2008, our Other businesses were primarily comprised of Cole Haan, Converse, Exeter (whose primary business was the Starter brand business which was sold on December 17, 2007), Hurley, NIKE Bauer Hockey Corp. (which was sold on April 17, 2008) and NIKE Golf.

The decrease in Other business revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was primarily attributable to the loss of revenue from NIKE Bauer Hockey and the Starter brand business, partially offset by growth at Converse and Hurley and the addition of Umbro. Revenue for Cole Haan and NIKE Golf decreased for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, driven by the overall weakness of these categories. For the year-to-date period, revenue growth at Converse, Hurley and Cole Haan and the addition of Umbro more than offset the loss of revenue from NIKE Bauer Hockey and the Starter brand businesses.

Pre-tax income for Other businesses declined for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009. For the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the decline was primarily attributable to the decrease in pre-tax operating results from NIKE Golf and Cole Haan as well as net loss from Umbro. For the first six months of fiscal 2009, the decline is primarily due to the loss of profits from NIKE Bauer Hockey.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Activity

Cash provided by operations was $638.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to $949.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2008. Our primary source of operating cash flow for the first six months of fiscal 2009 was net income of $901.5 million offset by investments in working capital to support the growth in the business. Our investments in working capital increased during the first six months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable as a result of higher sales revenue in fiscal 2009 and an increase in inventory receipts to support the continued growth of the business.

Cash used by investing activities was $410.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $194.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2008. The year-over-year change was primarily due to a net purchase of short-term investments of $358.3 million (purchases net of sales and maturities) in the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to net sales and maturities of $406.3 million in short-term investments during the first six months of fiscal 2008, partially offset by an increase from the proceeds of net investment hedge settlements. During the second half of fiscal 2008, we began to use net investment hedges to mitigate the risk of variablitity in foreign-currency-denominated net investments held by wholly-owned foreign operations.

Cash used in financing activities was $562.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to $571.6 million used in the first six months of fiscal 2008. The decrease over the fiscal 2009 amount was primarily due to the increase in notes payable offset by an increase in dividends and share repurchases, as discussed below.

In the first six months of fiscal 2009, we purchased 10.6 million shares of NIKE’s Class B common stock for $639.0 million. As of November 30, 2008, we have now repurchased 49.2 million shares for $2.7 billion under the $3 billion program approved by our Board of Directors in June 2006. In September 2008, our Board of Directors approved a new $5 billion share repurchase program. The new program will commence upon completion of our current $3 billion share repurchase program. We expect to fund share repurchases from operating cash flow, excess cash, and/or debt. The timing and the amount of shares purchased will be dictated by our capital needs and stock market conditions.

Dividends declared per share of common stock for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 were $0.25, compared to $0.23 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of May 31, 2008 except as follows:

The total liability for uncertain tax positions was $283.1 million, excluding related interest and penalties, at November 30, 2008. It is reasonably possible that the Internal Revenue Service audit for the 2005 and 2006 tax years will be completed during the next twelve months, however, we are unable to make a reliable estimate of the eventual cash flows that may be required to settle these matters. In addition, we are not able to reasonably estimate when or if cash payments of the long-term liability for uncertain tax positions will occur.

Capital Resources

In October 2001, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for $1 billion. In May 2002, we commenced a medium-term note program under the shelf registration that allowed us to issue up to $500 million in medium-term notes, as our capital needs dictate. Under this program, we have issued $240 million of medium-term notes, of which $215 million in principal amount remains outstanding at November 30, 2008. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, this shelf registration has now expired. In December 2008, we filed a new shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the $760 million of securities remaining to be issued under the previous shelf registration statement.

We also have a committed $1.0 billion revolving credit facility in place with a group of banks that is scheduled to mature in December 2012. As of November 30, 2008, no amounts were outstanding under this facility.

Our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings remain at A+ and A1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively.

Liquidity is also provided by our $1 billion commercial paper program. As of November 30, 2008, $175 million was outstanding under our commercial paper program at a weighted average interest rate of 1.74%. No amount was outstanding under the program at May 31, 2008.

We currently have short-term debt ratings of A1 and P1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively.

During the second quarter, one of the Company’s Japanese subsidiaries entered into 5.8 billion yen (approximately $60.7 million) in short-term loans to meet general operating needs. As of November 30, 2008, 5.3 billion yen (approximately $55.5 million) in short-term loans remained outstanding. The interest rates on the loans are based on the prevailing Tokyo Interbank Offer Rate of our election plus a spread, resulting in a weighted average all-in rate of 0.89% at November 30, 2008.

The credit markets, including the commercial paper markets in the United States, have continued to experience adverse conditions. While we have not experienced higher interest costs or difficulty accessing the credit markets to date, continuing volatility in the capital markets may increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets. Notwithstanding these adverse market conditions, we currently believe that current cash and short-term investment balances and cash generated by operations, together with access to external sources of funds as described above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs in the foreseeable future.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards :

On June 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157") for financial assets and liabilities, which clarifies the meaning of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the assets or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income when they occur. The effective date of the provisions of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, was deferred by FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 ("FSP FAS 157-2") and are effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions for non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note 5 in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Also effective June 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159") which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. As of August 31, 2008, the company has not elected the fair value option for any additional financial assets and liabilities beyond those already prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “ Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active ” ("FSP FAS 157-3"). FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FAS 157 in a market that is not active and defines additional key criteria in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 applies to financial assets within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in accordance with FAS 157. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance and the application of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on and entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The provisions of FAS 161 are effective for the quarter ending February 28, 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” ("FSP FAS 142-3"). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The intent of the position is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS 141(R), and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 are effective for fiscal year beginning June 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of FSP FAS 142-3.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carry out a variety of on-going procedures under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of November 30, 2008.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

and Analyst Reports

Certain written and oral statements, other than purely historical information including estimates, projections, statements relating to NIKE’s business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, made or incorporated by reference from time to time by NIKE or its representatives in this report, other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases, conferences, or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate, or imply future results, performance, or achievements, and may contain the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” or words or phrases of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in reports filed by NIKE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Forms 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K, and include, among others, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions; the size and growth of the overall athletic footwear, apparel, and equipment markets; intense competition among designers, marketers, distributors and sellers of athletic footwear, apparel, and equipment for consumers and endorsers; demographic changes; changes in consumer preferences; popularity of particular designs, categories of products, and sports; seasonal and geographic demand for NIKE products; difficulties in anticipating or forecasting changes in consumer preferences, consumer demand for NIKE products, and the various market factors described above; difficulties in implementing, operating, and maintaining NIKE’s increasingly complex information systems and controls, including, without limitation, the systems related to demand and supply planning, and inventory control; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results, including, without limitation, the fact that advance “futures” orders may not be indicative of future revenues due to changes in shipment timing, and the changing mix of futures and at-once orders; the ability of NIKE to sustain, manage or forecast its growth and inventories; the size, timing and mix of purchases of NIKE’s products; new product development and introduction; the ability to secure and protect trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property performance and reliability of products; customer service; adverse publicity; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; dependence on distributors; business disruptions; increased costs of freight and transportation to meet delivery deadlines; changes in business strategy or development plans; general risks associated with doing business outside the United States, including, without limitation, exchange rate fluctuations, import duties, tariffs, quotas and political and economic instability; changes in government regulations; liability and other claims asserted against NIKE; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and other factors referenced or incorporated by reference in this report and other reports.

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors which could adversely affect NIKE’s business and financial performance. Moreover, NIKE operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on NIKE’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Investors should also be aware that while NIKE does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against NIKE’s policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, shareholders should not assume that NIKE agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Furthermore, NIKE has a policy against issuing or confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of NIKE.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There have been no material developments with respect to the information previously reported under Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 contains a detailed discussion of certain risk factors that could materially adversely affect our business, our operating results, or our financial condition. The risk factor described below is an addition to those risk factors.

Global capital and credit market conditions, and resulting declines in consumer confidence and spending, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Volatility and disruption in the global capital and credit markets in 2008 have led to a tightening of business credit and liquidity, a contraction of consumer credit, business failures, higher unemployment, and declines in consumer confidence and spending in the United States and internationally. If global economic and financial market conditions deteriorate or remain weak for an extended period of time, the following factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition:

·	Slower consumer spending may result in reduced demand for our products, reduced orders from retailers for our products, order cancellations, lower revenues, increased inventories, and lower gross margins.

We may be unable to find suitable investments that are safe, liquid, and provide a reasonable return. This could result in lower interest income or longer investment horizons. Disruptions to capital markets or the banking system may also impair the value investments or bank deposits we currently consider safe or liquid.

·	We may be unable to access financing in the credit and capital markets at reasonable rates in the event we find it desirable to do so.

The failure of financial institution counterparties to honor their obligations to us under credit and derivative instruments could jeopardize our ability to rely on and benefit from those instruments. Our ability to replace those instruments on the same or similar terms may be limited under poor market conditions.

We conduct transactions in various currencies, which increases our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. Continued volatility in the markets and exchange rates for foreign currencies and contracts in foreign currencies could have a significant impact on our reported financial results and condition.

·	Continued volatility in the markets and prices for commodities and raw materials we use in our products and in our supply chain (such as petroleum) could have a material adverse effect on our costs, gross margins, and profitability.

If retailers of our products experience declining revenues, or retailers experience difficulty obtaining financing in the capital and credit markets to purchase our products, this could result in reduced orders for our products, order cancellations, inability of retailers to timely meet their payment obligations to us, extended payment terms, higher accounts receivable, reduced cash flows, greater expense associated with collection efforts, and increased bad debt expense.

·	If retailers of our products experience severe financial difficulty, some may become insolvent and cease business operations, which could reduce the availability of our products to consumers.

If contract manufacturers of our products or other participants in our supply chain experience difficulty obtaining financing in the capital and credit markets to purchase raw materials or to finance general working capital needs, it may result in delays or non-delivery of shipments of our products.

Exhibit 10.1

NIKE, INC.

FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

(As amended November 20, 2008)

1. Purpose of the Plan . NIKE, Inc. (the “ Company ”) believes that ownership of shares of its common stock by selected employees of its foreign subsidiaries is desirable as an incentive to better performance and improvement of profits, and as a means by which employees may share in the rewards of growth and success. The purpose of the Company’s Foreign Subsidiary Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ Plan ”) is to provide a convenient means by which such employees may purchase the Company’s shares and a method by which the Company may assist and encourage such employees to become share owners. The Company operates an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended from time to time, the “ U.S. ESPP ”) pursuant to which employees of the Company and selected U.S. subsidiaries have a similar opportunity to purchase Company shares. Each subsidiary of the Company that is a participant in the U.S. ESPP is hereinafter referred to as a “ Participating U.S. Subsidiary .”

2. Shares Reserved for the Plan . There are 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued or reacquired Class B Common Stock reserved for purposes of the Plan. The number of shares reserved for the Plan is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the outstanding Class B Common Stock of the Company. The determination of whether an adjustment shall be made and the manner of any such adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”), which determination shall be conclusive.

3. Administration of the Plan . The Board has delegated to the Vice President of Global Human Resources of the Company (or, if the officer who is the Company’s senior human resources executive shall have a title other than Vice President of Global Human Resources, then such other officer) all authority for administration of the Plan and, in connection with such delegation and unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Plan shall be administered by or under the direction of such officer (the “ Authorized Officer ”), who may delegate some or all of his or her duties and authority to one or more Company employees. The Authorized Officer may promulgate rules and regulations for the operation of the Plan which may vary with local requirements, adopt forms for use in connection with the Plan, and decide any question of interpretation of the Plan or rights arising thereunder. The Authorized Officer may consult with counsel for the Company on any matter arising under the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all determinations and decisions of the Authorized Officer or the Board shall be conclusive.

4. Eligible Employees . The Board hereby authorizes the purchase of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Plan by employees of each subsidiary of the Company that is not a Participating U.S. Subsidiary (each such subsidiary of the Company that is not a Participating U.S. Subsidiary, a “ Foreign Subsidiary ”), but has delegated to the Authorized Officer the authority to designate from time to time from among such employees which groups of employees shall be participating groups for purposes of the Plan (each such group so designated as a participating group for purposes of the Plan being hereinafter called a “ Participating Group ”). For example, a Participating Group may consist of all Foreign Subsidiary employees who have their home office in a designated country. All Eligible Employees in each Participating Group are eligible to participate in the Plan. An “ Eligible Employee ” is an employee in a Participating Group who has been employed by the Company and its subsidiaries for at least one full month prior to the Offering Date (as defined below) excluding, however, any employee who would, after a purchase of shares under the Plan, own or be deemed (under Section 424(d) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”)) to own stock (including stock subject to any outstanding options held by the employee) possessing 5 percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company.

5. Offerings .

(a) Offering and Purchase Dates. The Plan shall be implemented by a series of six-month offerings (the “ Offerings ”), with a new Offering commencing on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Each Offering commencing on April 1 of any year shall end on September 30 of that year, and each Offering commencing on October 1 of any year shall end on March 31 of the following year. The first day of each Offering is the “ Offering Date ” for that Offering and the last day of each Offering is the “ Purchase Date ” for that Offering.

(b) Grants; Limitations. On each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock on the Purchase Date for the Offering for the price determined under paragraph 7 of the Plan exclusively through payroll deductions or other contributions authorized under paragraph 6 of the Plan; provided , however , that (i) no option shall permit the purchase of more than 1,000 shares, and (ii) no option may be granted under the Plan that would allow an employee’s right to purchase shares under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its parents and subsidiaries to accrue at a rate that exceeds US$25,000 of fair market value of shares (determined at the date of grant) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding.

6. Participation in the Plan .

(a) Initiating Participation . An Eligible Employee may participate in an Offering under the Plan by submitting to the Company or its agent a subscription in a form specified by the Company. The subscription must be submitted no later than the “ Subscription Deadline ,” which shall be a number of days prior to the Offering Date with the exact number of days being established from time to time by the Authorized Officer by written notice to Eligible Employees. Once submitted, a subscription shall remain in effect unless amended or terminated, and upon the expiration of an Offering the participants in that Offering will be automatically enrolled in the new Offering starting the following day.

(b) Payroll Deductions or Other Contributions . Unless otherwise determined by the Authorized Officer in accordance with this paragraph 6(b), each subscription shall include a payroll deduction authorization that will authorize the employing entity to make payroll deductions in an amount designated by the participant from each of the participant’s paychecks during the Offering. The designated amount to be deducted from each paycheck must be a whole percentage of not less than one percent or more than 10 percent of the participant’s Compensation (as defined below) for the period covered by the paycheck. If the Authorized Officer determines that payroll deductions are either illegal or inadvisable in any particular jurisdiction, the Authorized Officer may provide for alternate methods of contributing to the Plan for all participants in that jurisdiction, provided that no participant shall be permitted to contribute less than one percent or more than 10 percent of the participant’s aggregate Compensation paid during the Offering. Each employing entity will promptly remit the amount of payroll deductions or other contributions to the Company.

(c) Definition of Compensation . “ Compensation ” means the gross amount of participant’s base salary, hourly compensation including overtime pay, performance bonus compensation and sales commissions, or such other definitions of Compensation as may be established from time to time by the Authorized Officer for defined groups of employees.

(d) Amending Participation . After a participant has begun participating in the Plan by initiating payroll deductions, the participant may amend the payroll deduction authorization (i) once during any Offering to decrease the amount of payroll deductions, and (ii) effective for the first paycheck of a new Offering to either increase or decrease the amount of payroll deductions. A request for a decrease in payroll deductions during an Offering must be submitted to the Company in a form specified by the Company no later than the Change Deadline (as defined below) for that Offering, and shall be effective for any paycheck only if the request is received by the Company no later than the last business day of the immediately preceding calendar month, or by such other deadline as may be established from time to time by the Authorized Officer for defined groups of employees. A request for an increase or decrease in payroll deductions effective for the first paycheck of a new Offering must be submitted to the Company in a form specified by the Company no later than the Subscription Deadline for the new Offering. In addition, if the amount of payroll deductions from any participant during an Offering exceeds the maximum amount that can be applied to purchase shares in that Offering under the limitations set forth in paragraph 5(b) above, then (x) as soon as practicable following a written request from the participant, payroll deductions from the participant shall cease and all such excess amounts shall be refunded to the participant, and (y) payroll deductions from the participant shall restart as of the commencement of the next Offering at the rate set forth in the participant’s then effective payroll deduction authorization. If the Authorized Officer provides an alternative to payroll deduction as a method of contributing to the Plan in any jurisdiction, the Authorized Officer shall also specify terms for amending contribution levels in that jurisdiction.

(e) Terminating Participation . After a participant has begun participating in the Plan, the participant may terminate participation in the Plan by notice to the Company in a form specified by the Company. To be effective to terminate participation in an Offering, a notice of termination must be submitted no later than the “ Change Deadline, ” which shall be a number of days prior to the Purchase Date for that Offering with the exact number of days being established from time to time by the Authorized Officer by written notice to participants. Except as provided in paragraph 6(g) below, participation in the Plan shall also terminate when a participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee for any reason, including death or retirement. A participant may not reinstate participation in the Plan with respect to a particular Offering after once terminating participation in the Plan with respect to that Offering. Upon termination of a participant’s participation in the Plan, all amounts deducted from the participant’s Compensation or otherwise contributed by the participant, and not previously used to purchase shares under the Plan, shall be returned to the participant.

(f) Employee Transferred from U.S. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if an employee within a Participating Group (1) was not an Eligible Employee on the Offering Date because the employee was employed by the Company or a Participating U.S. Subsidiary on the Offering Date, (2) became an Eligible Employee during the Offering, and (3) was a participant in the U.S. ESPP immediately prior to the time that the employee became an employee within a Participating Group, then the employee shall, notwithstanding that the employee was not an Eligible Employee on the Offering Date, nonetheless be granted under the Plan the option described in paragraph 5(b) (subject to paragraph 5(b)(i) and (ii)). In such case, (a) all amounts deducted from the employee’s compensation pursuant to the employee’s participation in the U.S. ESPP and not previously used to purchase shares under the U.S. ESPP shall not be returned to the employee under the terms of the U.S. ESPP, but shall instead be contributed and applied (together with all amounts deducted by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary from the employee’s paychecks during the Offering in accordance with this paragraph 6 or otherwise contributed by the employee to the Plan during the Offering in accordance with this paragraph 6) to the purchase of shares under the Plan on the Purchase Date for the Offering, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and (b) unless otherwise determined by the Authorized Officer, the applicable Foreign Subsidiary is hereby authorized to make payroll deductions from each of the employee’s paychecks during the Offering (unless the Authorized Officer has determined pursuant to paragraph 6(b) that payroll deductions are either illegal or inadvisable in the jurisdiction in which the employee is located), and the payroll deduction or contribution percentage shall be the same percentage as was in effect immediately prior to termination of the employee’s participation in the U.S. ESPP with respect to the employee’s payroll deductions under the U.S. ESPP.

(g) Employee Transferred to U.S. If an employee ceases to be an Eligible Employee during an Offering solely because the employee commences employment with the Company or a Participating U.S. Subsidiary, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan and for so long as the employee remains employed by the Company or any Participating U.S. Subsidiary, the employee shall be deemed to be an Eligible Employee (subject to the stock ownership limitation set forth in the definition of “Eligible Employee” in paragraph 4 above) for the remainder of the current Offering and, if such change in employing entity occurred during the last month of an Offering, for the duration of the immediately subsequent Offering as well. In such case, the employee’s new employing entity shall make payroll deductions from each of the employee’s paychecks during the remainder of such time as the employee is deemed to be an Eligible Employee at the rate that applies with respect to the employee’s then effective payroll deduction authorization or contribution method.

7. Option Price. The price at which shares shall be purchased in an Offering shall be in US dollars and shall be the lower of (a) 85% of the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock on the Offering Date of the Offering or (b) 85% of the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock on the Purchase Date of the Offering. The fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock on any date shall be the closing price on the immediately preceding trading day of the Class B Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Class B Common Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, such other reported value of the Class B Common Stock as shall be specified by the Board.

8. Purchase of Shares . All amounts withheld from the Compensation of a participant or otherwise contributed by a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan. No interest will be paid on such accounts, unless otherwise determined by the Authorized Officer or required under local law. If amounts are withheld in any currency other than US dollars, the amounts in participants’ accounts shall be converted into US dollars in accordance with procedures approved by the Authorized Officer. On each Purchase Date, the amount of the account of each participant will be applied to the purchase of shares (including fractional shares) by such participant from the Company at the price determined under paragraph 7 above. Any cash balance remaining in a participant’s account after a Purchase Date as a result of the limitations set forth in paragraph 5(b) above shall be repaid to the participant.

9. Delivery and Custody of Shares . Shares purchased by participants pursuant to the Plan will be delivered to and held in the custody of such investment or financial firm (the “ Custodian ”) as shall be appointed by the Authorized Officer. The Custodian may hold in nominee or street name certificates for shares purchased pursuant to the Plan, and may commingle shares in its custody pursuant to the Plan in a single account without identification as to individual participants. By appropriate instructions to the Custodian, a participant may from time to time sell all or part of the shares held by the Custodian for the participant’s account at the market price at the time the order is executed. If a participant desires to sell all of the shares in his or her account, the Custodian or the Company will purchase any fraction of a share in the account at the same price per share that the whole shares are sold on the market. By appropriate instructions to the Custodian, a participant may obtain (a) transfer into the participant’s own name of all or part of the whole shares held by the Custodian for the participant’s account and delivery of such whole shares to the participant, or (b) transfer of all or part of the whole shares held for the participant’s account by the Custodian to a regular individual brokerage account in the participant’s own name, either with the firm then acting as Custodian or with another firm; provided , however , that no shares may be transferred under (a) or (b) until two years after the Offering Date of the Offering in which the shares were purchased.

10. Records and Statements . The Custodian will maintain the records of the Plan. As soon as practicable after each Purchase Date each participant will receive a statement showing the activity of his or her account since the preceding Purchase Date and the balance on the Purchase Date as to both cash and shares. Participants will be furnished such other reports and statements, and at such intervals, as the Authorized Officer shall determine from time to time.

11. Expense of the Plan . The Company will pay all expenses incident to operation of the Plan, including costs of record keeping, accounting fees, legal fees, commissions and issue or transfer taxes on purchases pursuant to the Plan, on dividend reinvestments and on delivery of shares to a participant or into his or her brokerage account. The Company will not pay expenses, commissions or taxes incurred in connection with sales of shares by the Custodian at the request of a participant. Expenses to be paid by a participant will be deducted from the proceeds of sale prior to remittance.

12. Rights Not Transferable . The right to purchase shares under this Plan is not transferable by a participant, and such right is exercisable during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant. Upon the death of a participant, any cash withheld or contributed and not previously applied to purchase shares, together with any shares held by the Custodian for the participant’s account shall be transferred to the persons entitled thereto under the laws of the domicile of the participant upon a proper showing of authority.

13. Dividends and Other Distributions; Reinvestment . Stock dividends and other distributions in shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company on shares held by the Custodian shall be issued to the Custodian and held by it for the account of the respective participants entitled thereto. Cash distributions other than dividends, if any, on shares held by the Custodian will be paid currently to the participants entitled thereto. Cash dividends, if any, on shares held by the Custodian will be reinvested in Class B Common Stock on behalf of the participants entitled thereto. The Custodian shall establish a separate account for each participant for the purpose of holding shares acquired through reinvestment of the participant’s dividends. On each dividend payment date, the Custodian shall receive from the Company the aggregate amount of dividends payable with respect to all shares held by the Custodian for participants’ accounts under the Plan. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Custodian shall use all of the funds so received to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock in the public market, and shall then allocate such shares (including fractional shares) among the dividend reinvestment accounts of the participants pro rata based on the amount of dividends reinvested for each participant. A participant may sell or transfer shares in the participant’s dividend reinvestment account in accordance with paragraph 9 above, except that there shall be no holding period required for a transfer from a dividend reinvestment account.

14. Voting and Shareholder Communications . In connection with voting on any matter submitted to the shareholders of the Company, the Custodian will cause the shares held by the Custodian for each participant’s accounts to be voted in accordance with instructions from the participant or, if requested by a participant, furnish to the participant a proxy authorizing the participant to vote the shares held by the Custodian for his or her accounts. Copies of all general communications to shareholders of the Company will be sent to participants in the Plan.

15. Tax Withholding. In connection with purchases of shares under the Plan, the Company shall determine the amounts, if any, required to be withheld to satisfy any applicable tax or other withholding obligations of Foreign Subsidiaries or other employing entities under the laws of the jurisdictions in which participants perform services. The Foreign Subsidiaries or other employing entities shall withhold such amounts from other amounts payable to the participants, including all forms of Compensation, subject to applicable law.

16. Responsibility and Indemnity . Neither the Company, the Board, the Custodian, any Foreign Subsidiary, any Participating U.S. Subsidiary, nor any member, officer, agent, or employee of any of them, shall be liable to any participant under the Plan for any mistake of judgment or for any omission or wrongful act unless resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional misfeasance. The Company will indemnify and save harmless the Board, the Custodian and any such member, officer, agent or employee against any claim, loss, liability or expense arising out of the Plan, except such as may result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional misfeasance of such entity or person.

17. Conditions and Approvals . The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, compliance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may be listed, and approval of such governmental authorities or agencies as may have jurisdiction over the Plan or the Company. The Company will use its best effort to comply with such laws, regulations and rules and to obtain such approvals.

18. Amendment of the Plan . Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Board or the Authorized Officer may from time to time amend the Plan in any and all respects; provided , however , that only the Board may change (a) the number of shares reserved for purposes of the Plan, (b) the purchase price of shares offered pursuant to the Plan, (c) the terms of paragraph 5 above, or (d) in paragraph 6(b) above the maximum percentage of a participant’s Compensation that may be deducted from a participant’s paycheck or otherwise contributed to the Plan by a participant during an Offering.

19. Termination of the Plan . The Plan shall terminate when all of the shares reserved for purposes of the Plan have been purchased, provided that (a) the Board or the Authorized Officer in their sole discretion may at any time terminate the Plan with respect to any Participating Group, without any obligation on account of such termination, except as set forth in the following sentence, and (b) the Board in its sole discretion may at any time terminate the Plan completely, without any obligation on account of such termination, except as set forth in the following sentence. Upon any such termination, the cash and shares, if any, held in the accounts of each participant to whom the termination applies shall forthwith be distributed to the participant or to the participant’s order, provided that if prior to such termination, the Board and shareholders of the Company shall have adopted and approved a substantially similar plan, the Board may in its discretion determine that the accounts of each participant under this Plan to whom the termination applies shall be carried forward and continued as the accounts of such participant under such other plan, subject to the right of any participant to request distribution of the cash and shares, if any, held for his or her accounts.
