Certain statements included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, other than
purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, expected operating results and

within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. 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 following factors, among others, could
cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

· 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 our products;

· difficulties in anticipating or forecasting changes in consumer preferences, consumer demand for our products and the various

market factors described above;

· difficulties in implementing, operating and maintaining our increasingly complex information systems and controls, including,

without limitation, the systems related to demand and supply planning and inventory control;

· interruptions in data and information technology systems;

· consumer data security;

· 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, the changing mix of futures and at-once orders, and
discounts, order cancellations and returns;

· our ability to sustain, manage or forecast our growth and inventories;

· the size, timing and mix of purchases of our products;

· increases in the cost of materials, labor and energy used to manufacture products, new product development and introduction;

· customer service;

· adverse publicity;

· the loss of significant customers or suppliers;

· dependence on distributors and licensees;

· business disruptions;

· increased costs of freight and transportation to meet delivery deadlines;

· increases in borrowing costs due to any decline in our debt ratings;

· 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, political and economic instability and terrorism;

· changes in government regulations;

· the impact of, including business and legal developments relating to, climate change;

· natural disasters;

· liability and other claims asserted against us;

· the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and

· the effects of any decision by us to invest in or divest ourselves of businesses.
For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance and transactions, see the section
entitled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and the risks described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference, as updated by our subsequent filings that are incorporated herein by reference.
Other sections of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein may
include additional factors which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for
management to predict all such risks, nor can it assess the impact of all such risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of
risks, 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.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding our company and our audited and
unaudited financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Our Company
Our principal business activity is the design, development and worldwide marketing and selling of athletic footwear, apparel,
equipment, accessories and services. We are the largest seller of athletic footwear and apparel in the world measured by global revenues. We
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320187/000119312516742029/d444471d424b2.htm[10/20/2016 9:19:18 AM]

sell our products to retail accounts, through NIKE-owned in-line and factory stores, as well as NIKE-owned digital commerce (which we
refer to collectively as our "Direct to Consumer" operations), and through a mix of independent distributors and licensees throughout the
world. Virtually all of our products are manufactured by independent contractors. Nearly all of our footwear and apparel products are produced
outside the United States, while our equipment products are produced both in the United States and abroad.
We focus our NIKE Brand product offerings in nine key categories: Running, NIKE Basketball, the Jordan Brand, Football
(Soccer), Men's Training, Women's Training, Action Sports, Sportswear (our sports-inspired lifestyle products) and Golf. Men's Training
includes our baseball and American football product offerings. We also market products designed for kids, as well as for other athletic and
recreational uses such as cricket, lacrosse, tennis, volleyball, wrestling, walking and outdoor activities.
NIKE's athletic footwear products are designed primarily for specific athletic use, although a large percentage of the products are
worn for casual or leisure purposes. We place considerable emphasis on innovation and high-quality construction in our products. Sportswear,
Running, the Jordan Brand and Football (Soccer) are currently our top-selling footwear categories and we expect them to continue to lead in
footwear sales.
We also sell sports apparel covering the above-mentioned categories, which feature the same trademarks and are sold predominantly
through the same marketing and distribution channels as athletic footwear. Our sports apparel, similar to our athletic footwear products, is
designed primarily for athletic use and exemplifies our commitment to innovation and high-quality construction. Sportswear, Men's Training,
Running, Football (Soccer) and Women's Training are currently our top-selling apparel categories, and we expect them to continue to lead in
apparel sales. We often market footwear, apparel and accessories in "collections" of similar use or by category. We also market apparel with
licensed college and professional team and league logos.
We sell a line of performance equipment and accessories under the NIKE Brand name, including bags, socks, sport balls, eyewear,
timepieces, digital devices, bats, gloves, protective equipment and other equipment designed for sports activities. We also sell small amounts
of various plastic products to other manufacturers through our wholly-owned subsidiary, NIKE IHM, Inc.
Our Jordan Brand designs, distributes and licenses athletic and casual footwear, apparel and accessories predominantly focused on
basketball using the Jumpman trademark. Sales and operating results for the Jordan Brand are reported as a separate category and within the
NIKE Brand geographic operating segments, respectively.
One of our wholly-owned subsidiary brands, Hurley, headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, designs and distributes a line of
action sports and youth lifestyle apparel and accessories under the Hurley trademark. Sales and operating results for Hurley are included
within the NIKE Brand Action Sports category and within the NIKE Brand's North America geographic operating segment, respectively.

S-1
Table of Contents
Another of our wholly-owned subsidiary brands, Converse, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, designs, distributes and
licenses casual sneakers, apparel and accessories under the Converse, Chuck Taylor, All Star, One Star, Star Chevron and Jack Purcell
trademarks. Operating results of the Converse brand are reported on a stand-alone basis.
In addition to the products we sell to our wholesale customers and directly to consumers through our Direct to Consumer operations,
we have also entered into license agreements that permit unaffiliated parties to manufacture and sell, using NIKE-owned trademarks, certain
apparel, digital devices and applications and other equipment designed for sports activities.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated in 1967 under the laws of the State of Oregon. Our principal executive offices are located at One Bowerman
Drive, Beaverton, Oregon 97005-6453, and our telephone number is (503) 671-6453. We maintain web sites at www.nike.com and at

RISK FACTORS
In addition to other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
and any "free writing prospectus" we have provided to you, you should carefully consider the risks described below and in Item 1A of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference, as updated by our subsequent filings that
are incorporated herein by reference before making a decision to invest in the notes. These risks are not the only ones faced by us. Additional risks
not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial could also materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations, business and prospects. The trading price of each series of the notes could decline due to the materialization of any of these risks, and
you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and
therein by reference also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and events could differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and
elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference. Please
refer to the section of this prospectus supplement entitled "Forward-Looking Statements."
Risks Related to this Offering
The notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The notes will be obligations exclusively of NIKE, Inc. and not of any of our subsidiaries. A substantial portion of our operations is
conducted through our subsidiaries, which are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the notes or to make any
funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our
subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred stockholders of our subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the
assets of such subsidiaries over our claims (and therefore the claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes). Consequently, the notes will
be structurally subordinated to creditors, including trade creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that
we may in the future acquire or create.
Because the notes will not be secured, they will be subject to prior claims of any secured creditors, and if a default occurs, we may not have
sufficient funds to fulfill our obligations under the notes.
The notes will be NIKE, Inc.'s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of NIKE, Inc.'s existing
and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, including our 2.250% notes due May 1, 2023, our 3.625% notes due May 1, 2043 and our
3.875% notes due November 1, 2045, and including any indebtedness we may incur from time to time under our $2.0 billion committed revolving
credit facility maturing in August 2020 (subject to extension). As of August 31, 2016, our total consolidated indebtedness was $2.059 billion and
we had $2.0 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility. The indenture governing the notes will permit us and our subsidiaries to incur
additional indebtedness, including secured debt. If we incur any secured debt, our assets will be subject to prior claims by our secured creditors to
the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. As of August 31, 2016, we had $65 million of secured indebtedness. In the event of
our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up, assets of NIKE, Inc. that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the
notes only after all debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the notes will participate in the remaining assets of NIKE, Inc.
ratably with all of NIKE, Inc.'s unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, including NIKE, Inc.'s trade creditors. If we incur any additional
obligations that rank equally with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be entitled to share ratably with the
holders of the notes and the previously issued notes in any proceeds distributed upon our insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or
other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all
these creditors, all or a portion of the notes then outstanding would remain unpaid.

The limited covenants in the indenture that will govern the notes will not provide protection against many types of important corporate events
and may not protect your investment.
