Jordan Brand Launches the AIR JORDAN 2010

Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence
BEAVERTON, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Today, Jordan Brand, a division of NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE), announced the upcoming
launch of its 25th anniversary AIR JORDAN 2010 shoe. Celebrating a
quarter-century of innovative design and genre-inspiring style, Jordan Brand
created the AIR JORDAN 2010 to pay respect to the legacy of Michael Jordan in
basketball while passing on the heritage of the sport to the talented Team
Jordan athletes, such as Dwyane Wade, who will be the first to debut the AIR
JORDAN 2010.

"The celebration of the AIR JORDAN 2010 and our 25th anniversary are the
pinnacle of a year full of milestones for me," said Michael Jordan. "With each
shoe, consumers have pushed me to take the next AIR JORDAN beyond their wildest
imagination. The AIR JORDAN 2010 marks the future of Jordan Brand and proves
there are no limits to what this Brand is capable of creating."

Acclaimed shoe designers Tinker Hatfield, Vice President of Special
Projects/Design for NIKE and Mark Smith, Creative Director for Jordan Brand,
collaborated with Michael Jordan on the AIR JORDAN 2010, taking the literal
interpretation of Jordan`s ability to see through his opponents by creating the
Brand`s first see-through performance basketball shoe featuring a unique
transparent thermoplastic urethane (TPU) window.

"The AIR JORDAN 2010 pays homage to Jordan`s ability to know his opponents` next
move while only giving hints of his ability and allowing the players to only see
what he wanted them to see on the court," said Tinker Hatfield. "His keen
instinct for anticipating his challengers` next move and disguising his own
techniques are just a few of the attributes that led to him being named the
greatest basketball player ever to play the game."

To assist all basketball players` game while wearing the shoe, Hatfield and
Smith also designed the AIR JORDAN 2010 with a revolutionary new concept to
performance basketball footwear - a layered toe construction that has an
independent forefoot support cover. This innovative design technique allows the
AIR JORDAN 2010 to mimic an actual foot`s flexibility and movement without being
restricted by the shoe`s structures, assisting in a player`s ability to be more
agile in the game.

Since 1984 when Jordan wore the first AIR JORDAN sneaker, AIR JORDAN has become
one of the world`s most recognizable franchises known for its signature Jumpman
logo, innovative performance technology and fashion-forward style memorializing
the sneakers into popular culture history. Jordan Brand has adapted the AIR
JORDAN to the changing fashion landscape in its 25 years, utilizing the
importance of green technology by making the AIR JORDAN XX3, AIR JORDAN 2009 and
now the AIR JORDAN 2010 under Nike`s Considered Design ethos of combining
sustainability with performance and innovation.

Jordan Brand launches the AIR JORDAN 2010 nationwide on Saturday, February 13,
2010 for a suggested retail price of $170. Retailer information can be found at
