Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS

Today NIKE, Inc. issued the following press release:

NIKE REVISES THIRD QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2001 EPS GUIDANCE

Beaverton, OR (February 26, 2001) -- NIKE, Inc. (NYSE: NKE) today
reported that it expects to earn between $0.34 and $0.38 per share for
the third quarter ending February 28, 2001, versus its previously
stated guidance of $0.50 to $0.55 per share. The Company reaffirmed its
previously announced earnings per share guidance for the fourth quarter
ending May 31, 2001 of $0.60 to $0.65 per share.  While the Company
does not expect to achieve its mid-teens earnings per share growth
target, it does anticipate positive earnings per share growth for the
full fiscal year.*

Philip H. Knight, Chairman and CEO, said, "We were anticipating a flat
year-over-year third quarter largely because of weakness in our U.S.
footwear revenues.  During the quarter, we also experienced
complications arising from the impact of implementing our new demand and
supply planning systems and processes which resulted in product
shortages and excesses as well as late deliveries. While we are
disappointed by the impact it has had on our third quarter, we believe
that we have addressed the issues around this implementation and that
over the long term, we will achieve significant financial and
organizational benefit from our global supply chain initiative."*

Mr. Knight continued, "Nike's business is healthy in every area except
one. We are enjoying strong results in all of our international regions,
and in U.S. apparel and equipment; however, our U.S. footwear business
continues to pose challenges.  The recent success of NikeShox, our
Women's Initiative, and Presto provide encouraging signs that our U.S.
footwear strategy is taking hold, but we have more work to do. We intend
to build on this success by aggressively targeting growth in our share of
the important, but under-served, mid-priced segment of the market.
Overall, I am confident in both our strategy and our ability to achieve
positive, sustainable results for our U.S. footwear business. Combined
with the robust strength of our international business, we will strive to
deliver strong returns and long-term value."
