BEAVERTON, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Today, Jordan Brand, a division of NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE), unveiled its latest
chapter of the "Become Legendary" a national brand campaign, entitled "SLAP."
This campaign shows today`s youth how important team-work is in the game of an
athlete`s life. 

"SLAP" headlines a national television ad campaign that is supported by an
integrated marketing campaign starring Team Jordan athletes Carmelo Anthony,
Derek Jeter, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Paul. The ad takes viewers through a series
of quick visual cuts and invigorating audio on the players` journey to team
building and success, from the pain and frustration pushing each other to the
limit, to the elation and satisfaction that comes with making it out on the
other side.

campaign which embodies what our Brand represents," said Sean Tresvant,
Marketing Director of Jordan Brand. "The concept references Michael Jordan`s
legacy of team leadership and features a roster of Team Jordan athletes carrying
on his gift in the game today." 

"SLAP" will air on major networks including ESPN, TNT, FOX, and cinemas across
the US beginning Sunday, October 25. Subsequent spots meant to connect with
consumers on what it takes to `Become Legendary` will air during seasonal
sporting events including All-Star Weekend.

www.Jumpman23.com, in-store retail marketing, and community, consumer and
celebrity events throughout 2010.
