MESSAGE FROM OUR
EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN


To Our Shareholders: We are proud of the progress our team has made over the past year as part of our effort to strengthen Nike for the long term. As we continue to execute our strategic and business priorities, we remain committed to maintain robust corporate governance standards while continuing to build a sustainable future. Fiscal 2026 was a year of making progress against our Win Now actions and aligning our teams into the Sport Offense, with the support of strong and independent Board oversight. Among these actions, we continued to refresh our senior leadership team. Under the direction of Elliott and his leadership team, the Board believes Nike is well-positioned to continue strengthening the business and executing its long-term strategy. As part of our evergreen approach to Board refreshment, we regularly assess our composition to ensure we maintain the right mix of experience, skills, tenure and fresh perspectives to effectively oversee and guide Nike. As part of our approach, we’ve added 4 new independent directors in the last 5 years. We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to John Rogers Jr., who has decided to retire from the Board after eight years of service. John's guidance and support as a director have been extremely valuable. We look forward to continuing to draw on his experience as he advises on the future of sport and community. We are pleased to invite you to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of NIKE, Inc. to be held virtually on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time. Whether or not you plan to attend, the prompt execution and return of your proxy card will ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely,			"Fiscal 2026 was a year of making progress against our Win Now actions and aligning our teams into the Sport Offense, with the support of strong and independent Board oversight."

PROPOSAL 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS


A board of 11 directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting. Each elected director will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successor is elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. All of the nominees were elected at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. Ms. Thasunda Duckett, Ms. Mónica Gil, and Mr. Robert Swan are nominated by the Board for election by the holders of NIKE's Class B Common Stock ("Class B Stock"). The other eight nominees are nominated by the Board for election by the holders of NIKE's Class A Common Stock ("Class A Stock"). Under Oregon law and our Bylaws, if a quorum of each class of shareholders is present at the Annual Meeting, the eight director nominees who receive the greatest number of votes cast by holders of Class A Stock and the three director nominees who receive the greatest number of votes cast by holders of Class B Stock will be elected as directors. Unless otherwise instructed, proxy holders will vote the proxies they receive "for" the election of each of the nominees listed below. Each nominee has consented to serve if elected. If any nominee becomes unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, proxies will be voted "for" any nominee designated by the Board to fill such vacancy, if any, or the number of directors constituting the entire Board will be reduced to eliminate the vacancy. The Bylaws and the Corporate Governance Guidelines of the Company provide that any nominee for director in an uncontested election who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from their election than votes "for" such election shall tender their resignation for consideration by the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee. The committee will then recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to the resignation, and the Board will publicly disclose its decision with respect to such resignation within 90 days after the certification of the election results. Background information on the nominees as of July 15, 2026, including certain of the attributes that led to their selection, appears below. The Board and the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee have determined that each director meets the qualification standards described below under "NIKE, Inc. Board of Directors—Director Nominations". In addition, while the Board believes that each director nominee is individually qualified to make unique and substantial contributions to the Board, the Board firmly believes that the experience, attributes, and skills of any single director nominee should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in the context of the experience, attributes, and skills that all director nominees bring to the Board as a whole, each of which contributes to the function of an effective Board.


BOARD RECOMMENDATION

	The Board of Directors recommends that the Class A Shareholders vote FOR the election of each of the applicable nominees listed below.	The Board of Directors recommends that the Class B Shareholders vote FOR the election of each of the applicable nominees listed below.

DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS

The Board takes an "evergreen" approach to Board refreshment, cultivating relationships with top talent on an ongoing basis. The Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee identifies potential director candidates through a variety of means, including recommendations from members of the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee or the Board, Company management, third-party search firms, and shareholders. The committee, in its discretion, engages director search firms to identify candidates. Shareholders may recommend director candidates for consideration by the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee by submitting a written recommendation to the committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, NIKE, Inc., One Bowerman Drive, Beaverton, Oregon 97005-6453. The recommendation should include the candidate's name, age, qualifications (including principal occupation and employment history), and written consent to be named as a nominee in the Company's proxy statement and to serve as a director, if elected. The committee evaluates recommendations from shareholders in the same manner that it considers recommendations from other sources.

The Board has adopted qualification standards for the selection of non-management nominees for director, which can be found on our corporate website: http://investors.nike.com. As provided in these standards and the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, nominees for director are selected on the basis of, among other things, distinguished business experience or other non-business achievements; education; significant knowledge of the consumer products industry, international business, finance, marketing, technology, law, or other fields which are complementary to, and balance the knowledge of, other Board members; a desire to represent and serve the interests of all shareholders; independence; good character; ethics; sound judgment; and ability to devote substantial time to discharge Board and committee responsibilities (including whether they are in compliance with the Board's overboarding policy), taking into account the overall composition of the Board and its committees.

In considering the re-nomination of an incumbent director, the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee reviews the director's overall service to the Company during his or her term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, and quality of performance, the needs and composition of the Board and its committees, and the qualifications of the director. The Board believes that a variety and balance of perspectives on the Board results in more thoughtful and robust deliberations, and ultimately, better decisions. All potential new director candidates, whether recommended by shareholders or identified by other means, are initially screened by the Chair of the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee, who may seek additional information about the background and qualifications of the candidate, and who may determine that a candidate does not have qualifications that merit further consideration by the full committee. With respect to new director candidates who pass the initial screening, the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider each candidate's qualifications and potential contributions to the Board, and determines by majority vote whether to recommend such candidate to the Board. The final decision to either appoint a candidate to fill a vacancy between annual meetings or include a candidate on the slate of nominees proposed at an annual meeting is made by the Board.

As set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, it is the general policy of the Board that directors will not stand for re‑election after reaching the age of 72.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Pursuant to New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing rules, in order for a director to qualify as "independent", the Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with the Company. The Board affirmatively determined that commercial or charitable relationships below the following thresholds will not be considered material relationships that impair a director's independence: (1) if a NIKE director or immediate family member is an executive officer of another company that does business with NIKE and the annual sales to, or purchases from, NIKE are less than one percent of the annual revenues of the other company; and (2) if a NIKE director or immediate family member serves as an officer, director, or trustee of a charitable organization, and NIKE's contributions to the organization are less than one percent of that organization's total annual charitable receipts.

After applying this categorical standard and the applicable NYSE independence standards, the Board has determined that the following director nominees have no material relationship with the Company and are independent: Timothy Cook, Thasunda Duckett, Mónica Gil, Maria Henry, Peter Henry, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, Michelle Peluso, and Robert Swan. The Board also determined that Ms. Cathleen Benko, whose service as a director ended on September 9, 2025, was independent when she served on the Board during fiscal 2026, and that John Rogers, Jr., who is not standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting, is independent. The Company currently expects to enter into a consulting arrangement with Mr. Rogers pursuant to which Mr. Rogers will continue to provide advice to the Company on the future of sport and community engagement following the effective date of his retirement. In making its independence determinations, the Board specifically considered the following relationships and concluded that none of them were material to NIKE or impaired the applicable director's independence:

•Payments for products and services in the ordinary course of business between NIKE and Apple, Inc., where Mr. Cook serves as an executive officer and director;

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 14

•NIKE's sports marketing relationship with Stanford University, where Mr. Henry serves in senior fellowship positions; and

•De minimis payments between NIKE and Ariel Investments, LLC, where Mr. Rogers serves as Chairman, Co-CEO, and Chief Investment Officer.

In each case, the aggregate amount of payments involved in such transactions was for amounts representing significantly less than one percent of either entity's annual revenues, the transactions were entered into at arm's length, and the applicable director did not have any direct involvement in such transactions.

Messrs. Elliott Hill, Travis Knight, and Mark Parker are not independent pursuant to NYSE rules. Messrs. Hill and Parker are not independent pursuant to NYSE rules because they are employed by the Company. Mr. Knight is not independent pursuant to NYSE rules because he is the son of NIKE's co-founder, Mr. Philip Knight, who received compensation in excess of the threshold set forth in applicable NYSE rules for his position as Chairman Emeritus. The compensation paid to Mr. Philip Knight is described in the section below titled "Additional Information—Transactions with Related Persons".

BOARD STRUCTURE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

During fiscal 2026, there were four meetings of the Board and all of our incumbent directors attended at least 75 percent of the total number of meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served. The Company encourages all directors to attend each annual meeting of shareholders, and all directors then-serving on the Board attended the 2025 annual meeting.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

NIKE's governing documents provide the Board with flexibility to select the appropriate leadership structure of the Company. In determining the leadership structure, the Board considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business, fulfilling the duties of the Board, and the best interests of the Company's shareholders.

The Company separates the position of Chair of the Board from the position of President and CEO, although this is not a permanent policy of the Board. The Board believes this leadership structure is appropriate for the Company because it separates the leadership of the Board from the duties of day-to-day leadership of the Company. The Executive Chairman, Mr. Mark Parker, presides over meetings of the Board and shareholders. The President and CEO, Mr. Elliott Hill, is in charge of the general supervision, direction, and control of the business and affairs of the Company, subject to the overall direction and supervision of the Board and its committees.

Additionally, as part of the Board's commitment to strong independent Board leadership and oversight, the Board has adopted a policy requiring the appointment of a Lead Independent Director at any time when the Chair of the Board is not independent. The position of Lead Independent Director is entrusted with robust and clearly-defined duties, including:

•serving as a liaison between the Chair and the independent directors;

•approving the meeting agendas for the Board;

•advising the Chair regarding the sufficiency, quality, quantity, and timeliness of information provided to the Board;

•ensuring that meeting schedules permit sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;

•providing consultation and direct communication with major shareholders, if requested;

•presiding at meetings of the Board at which the Chair is not present, including executive sessions; and

•performing other duties specified in the Lead Independent Director Charter.

In June 2025, the Board re-appointed Mr. Timothy Cook to serve as Lead Independent Director for a term of three years. Mr. Cook continues to serve as Lead Independent Director of the Company working in collaboration with Messrs. Parker and Hill.

The chairs of Board committees also play an active role in the leadership structure of the Board. The Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee and the Board endeavor to select independent committee chairs who will provide strong leadership to guide the important work of the Board committees. Committee chairs work with the Company's senior executives to ensure the committees are discussing the key strategic risks and opportunities of the Company. In the absence of the Lead Independent Director, a presiding director is appointed to chair executive sessions of non-management directors (consisting of all directors other than Messrs. Parker and Hill). The position of presiding director is rotated among the chairs of the various Board committees, other than the Executive Committee. Executive sessions are regularly scheduled and held at least once each year.

Mr. Philip Knight, NIKE's co-founder, serves as Chairman Emeritus, with a standing invitation to attend meetings of the Board and its committees as a non-voting observer. The Board believes that it benefits from his valuable experience and insights.

For all of these reasons, the Board believes this leadership structure is optimal.

THE BOARD'S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

While the Company's management team is responsible for day-to-day management of the various risks facing the Company, the Board takes an active role in the oversight of the management of critical business risks. The Board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of NIKE's business strategy. The Board recognizes it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for the Company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its strategic objectives.



THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through committees, which play a significant role in carrying out risk oversight. While the Audit & Finance Committee is responsible for oversight of management's risk management policies, oversight responsibility for particular areas of risk is allocated among the Board committees according to the committee's area of responsibility as reflected in the committee charters.



BOARD COMMITTEES


The AUDIT & FINANCE COMMITTEE oversees risks related to the Company's financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting, legal matters, investments, access to capital and capital deployment, currency risk and hedging programs, information security (including risks related to cybersecurity), data protection, and artificial intelligence. The committee oversees the internal audit function, reviews a risk-based plan of internal audits, and reviews a risk-based integrated audit of internal controls over financial reporting. The committee meets separately with the Vice President of Global Audit and Chief Risk Officer, representatives of the independent registered public accountants, and senior management.


The COMPENSATION COMMITTEE oversees risks associated with the Company's compensation philosophy and programs and executive succession and development.


The CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY, SUSTAINABILITY & GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE oversees risks associated with the Company's corporate governance and corporate responsibility, including NIKE's Code of Conduct and its compliance programs, and the structure and performance of the Board and its committees. The committee also oversees protection of the Company's corporate reputation, including with respect to issues involving corporate responsibility.



EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM
Each committee chair works with one or more senior executives assigned to assist the committee in: developing agendas for the year and for each meeting, paying particular attention to areas of business risk identified by management, Board members, internal and external auditors, and in their committee charter; and scheduling agenda topics, presentations, and discussions regarding business risks within their area of responsibility. At meetings, the committees discuss areas of business risk, the potential impact, and management's initiatives to manage business risk, often within the context of important business decisions. Through this process, key business risk areas are reviewed at appropriate times, with some topics reviewed on multiple occasions throughout the year. At every Board meeting, each committee chair provides a report to the full Board outlining the committee's discussions and actions, including those affecting the oversight of various risks.

The Company believes its leadership structure, discussed in detail above, further supports the risk oversight function of the Board. Strong directors chair the various committees involved in risk oversight, there is open communication between management and directors, and all directors are involved in the risk oversight function.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 18

THE BOARD'S ROLE IN OVERSEEING THE COMPANY'S CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

The Board takes an active role overseeing the Company's commitment to corporate responsibility and governance matters. The Board oversees such matters primarily through the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee. The committee's responsibilities include, among other things, reviewing and providing guidance to management regarding the Company's significant corporate responsibility strategies, activities, policies, investments, and programs and the involvement of significant corporate responsibility issues in major business decisions in order to protect the Company's goodwill, reputation and human capital. The Compensation Committee also plays a key role with respect to corporate responsibility matters by overseeing talent management and development for executive officers and senior management. More information about the Company's purpose is available on the Mission section of our website.



SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS
Shareholders or interested parties desiring to communicate directly with the Board or with any individual director may do so in writing addressed to the intended recipient or recipients, c/o Corporate Secretary, NIKE, Inc., One Bowerman Drive, Beaverton, Oregon 97005-6453. The Office of the Corporate Secretary reviews all such communications and refers relevant correspondence directly to a director, as appropriate. In addition, the Office of the Corporate Secretary regularly summarizes for the Board all communications that relate to the functions of the Board or its committees or that otherwise warrant Board attention.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE EVALUATIONS

The Board believes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is an essential component of good corporate governance. The Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee, in consultation with the Lead Independent Director, oversees the annual evaluation process of the Board and its committees. As part of this process, members of the Board complete written questionnaires and periodically participate in one-on-one interviews conducted by an independent third-party facilitator in lieu of the questionnaires, including, most recently, in fiscal 2026.

The process is designed to elicit feedback on a variety of subjects, including the structure, composition, key responsibilities, meeting agendas and formats, interactions with management and culture of the Board and each committee as well as the performance of Board and committee leaders and individual directors. The results of these evaluations are reviewed by the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee and then shared with the full Board, along with any recommended actions, for further discussion and, if applicable, approval.

CODE OF CONDUCT

The NIKE Code of Conduct is available at the Company's corporate website, http://investors.nike.com, and will be provided in print without charge to any shareholder who submits a request in writing to NIKE Investor Relations, One Bowerman Drive, Beaverton, Oregon 97005-6453. The Code of Conduct applies to all of the Company's employees and directors, including our CEO and all other executive officers. The Code of Conduct provides that any waiver of the Code of Conduct for executive officers or directors may be made only by the Board or a committee of the Board. Any such waiver will be publicly disclosed, when required by law. The Company plans to disclose amendments to, and waivers from, the Code of Conduct on the Company's corporate website: http://investors.nike.com.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Since NIKE's initial public offering in 1980, the Company's articles of incorporation have provided for NIKE to have two classes of voting stock, consisting of the Class A Stock and the Class B Stock.

19 NIKE, INC.

RIGHTS OF COMMON STOCK

The shares of Class A Stock and Class B Stock have identical voting and economic rights except that the holders of the Class A Stock and Class B Stock vote as separate classes for purposes of electing directors. Specifically, for as long as the number of outstanding shares of Class B Stock is between 25% and 87.5% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as is currently the case), the holders of the Class B Stock, voting as a separate class, have the right to elect 25% of the Board (rounded up to the nearest whole number) and the holders of the Class A Stock, voting as a separate class, have the right to elect the remaining directors. If at any time the outstanding number of shares of Class A Stock is less than 12.5% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Class B Stock, voting as a separate class, will continue to have the right to elect 25% of the Board (rounded up to the nearest whole number), but the Class A Stock and Class B Stock will vote together as a single class to elect the remaining directors. Outside of director elections, the Class A Stock and Class B Stock vote together on all other matters, with each Class A share and Class B share having one vote per share.

Because eleven directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting and the outstanding number of shares of Class B Stock is between 25% and 87.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holders of the Class B Stock are entitled to elect three directors at the Annual Meeting and the holders of the Class A Stock are entitled to elect the remaining eight. For each other matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting (including Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6), the Class A Stock and Class B Stock will vote together as a single class, each with one vote per share.

Each share of Class A Stock is convertible into one share of Class B Stock. Such conversion is solely at the option of the holder, and cannot be dictated by either the Company or the Board. The Class A Stock is currently primarily held by Swoosh, LLC, an entity that was formed by Mr. Philip Knight, NIKE's co-founder, in 2015 to hold the majority of his shares of Class A Stock.

For additional information regarding NIKE's classes of Common Stock, see the description of the Company's securities included as Exhibit 4.7 to NIKE's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2026. For additional information regarding key holders of the Class A Stock and Class B Stock, see the section below titled "Stock Ownership Information—Stock Holdings of Certain Owners and Management".

STRUCTURAL ADVANTAGES

Our unique capital structure enables NIKE to focus on long-term strategy by reducing pressure from short-term market dynamics, which our Board believes is critical to creating long-term sustainable value for all shareholders. This long-term vision enables the Company to prioritize research and development and innovation, to invest in transformations in support of our strategic and corporate responsibility-driven objectives, and to preserve and advance NIKE's unique culture, each of which we believe powers our success.

At the same time, our capital structure meaningfully protects and represents the interests of our public Class B shareholders:

•One-Share/One-Vote Principle Maintained: Our Class B Stock does not have super-voting or special consent rights. Instead, as explained above, both our Class A Stock and Class B Stock carry one vote per share and have identical voting rights on all matters other than director elections, where they vote separately.

•No Disparate Economic Rights: Each share of our Class A Stock and Class B Stock carries the same economic rights and risks, which helps align the interests of our Class A and Class B shareholders.

•Shareholder Interests Remain Front and Center: All of our directors, regardless of which class of Common Stock elected them, have fiduciary duties to act in the best interests of all NIKE shareholders. In addition, all directors are subject to the same nomination and evaluation processes, which are described in the section above titled "NIKE, Inc. Board of Directors—Director Nominations", and the Board considers all directors when assessing the mixture of experiences, attributes, and skills represented on the Board. The Board also maintains executive and non-employee director stock ownership guidelines, further ensuring alignment between directors and our shareholder interests.

•Additional Governance Safeguards: We have established a robust governance structure that ensures effective independent oversight and that the interests of all NIKE shareholders are considered. We maintain separate CEO and Chair positions and a Lead Independent Director with well-defined duties. All of the directors nominated for election by our Class B shareholders, as well as five out of eight of the directors nominated for election by our Class A shareholders, are independent. Each of the Audit & Finance Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee are comprised solely of independent directors and the slate of Class B director nominees includes at least one member from each such committee. Additionally, as described in the section below titled "Shareholder Engagement", we have a robust engagement program for our Class B shareholders and the feedback received during such meetings is shared with the full Board and relevant committees. Although the Board cannot change or eliminate our dual class capital structure without the approval of the holders of the Class A Stock, our independent Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability & Governance Committee reviews our corporate governance, including our dual-class structure, periodically so as to align our internal practices with shareholder interests and feedback. We also provide our Class B shareholders with other meaningful rights, including annual director elections (with a mandatory resignation policy), special meeting rights set at a 10% threshold and proxy access rights.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 20

SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Below is an overview of the Company's fiscal 2026 engagement practices regarding corporate responsibility, executive compensation, and governance matters.

(3)Ms. Benko did not stand for re-election at our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders and retired effective September 9, 2025. Therefore, her annual retainer was prorated.

(4)Mr. Knudstorp was elected to the Board effective September 9, 2025. Therefore, his annual retainer was prorated and his stock awards consist of a one-time, sign-on grant of restricted stock as well as an annual restricted stock award, each as described in the section below titled "Director Fees and Arrangements".

DIRECTOR FEES AND ARRANGEMENTS

Under our director compensation program in effect for fiscal 2026, non-employee directors receive:

•An annual retainer of $100,000, paid in quarterly installments.

•When they initially join the Board, a one-time, sign-on restricted stock award valued at $200,000 on the date of grant. This award is subject to forfeiture in the event that service as a director terminates prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant.

•An annual restricted stock award valued at $200,000 on the date of grant, generally, the date of each annual meeting of shareholders. The number of restricted shares granted to each director for fiscal 2026 was determined by dividing the director's award value by the average closing price of our Class B Stock for the 20-trading day period ending on the date of grant. The annual restricted stock award is subject to forfeiture in the event that service as a director terminates prior to the earlier of the next annual meeting and the last day of the 12th full calendar month following the date of grant.

•For the Lead Independent Director, an annual retainer of $40,000, paid in quarterly installments.

•For chairs of Board committees (other than the Executive Committee), an annual retainer of $25,000 for each committee chaired ($30,000 for the chair of the Audit & Finance Committee), paid in quarterly installments.

•For Audit & Finance Committee members, an additional annual retainer of $5,000, paid in quarterly installments.

•Payment or reimbursement of travel and other expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.

•Matching charitable contributions under the NIKE Matching Gift Program, under which directors are eligible to contribute to qualified charitable organizations and the Company provides an equal matching contribution to the charities, up to $20,000 in fiscal 2026 and up to $25,000 in fiscal 2027, annually in the aggregate.

Neither Mr. Hill nor Mr. Parker received any additional compensation for services provided as a director in fiscal 2026.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES FOR DIRECTORS

NIKE maintains stock ownership guidelines for all non-employee directors. Under these guidelines, directors are required to hold NIKE stock valued at five times their annual cash retainer. New directors are required to attain these ownership levels within five years of their election to the Board. Each of our directors has met or is on track to meet the specified ownership level.

DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under our DCP, non-employee directors may elect in advance to defer up to 100 percent of the director fees paid by the Company. For a description of the plan, see the section below titled "Executive Compensation—Executive Compensation Tables—Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal 2026—Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans".

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION



PROPOSAL 2 SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we are submitting to shareholders our annual "say-on-pay proposal", an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in this proxy statement. At our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, approximately 94% of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal were voted in favor of the proposal. The Compensation Committee is committed to understanding the views of our shareholders with respect to the executive compensation program. Therefore, during fiscal 2026, the committee considered the results of the 2025 say-on-pay proposal, which the committee believes affirm shareholders' support of the Company's approach to executive compensation and the committee's decisions, as well as direct feedback from shareholders provided during shareholder engagements. As discussed in this section, our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain top-tier talent and maximize shareholder value. To achieve the objectives of our executive compensation program and emphasize pay-for-performance principles, the Compensation Committee has continued to employ strong governance practices, including: •basing a majority of total compensation on performance incentives; •grounding incentive awards in objective financial performance goals and clearly disclosing rationales and outcomes; •mitigating undue risk associated with compensation by using multiple performance targets, caps on potential incentive payments, a clawback policy, and additional standalone clawback provisions; and •requiring executive officers to hold NIKE stock through published stock ownership guidelines. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board. However, the Board values shareholder opinions, and the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.


BOARD RECOMMENDATION

			The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval of the following resolution: RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the fiscal 2026 compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the narrative disclosures that accompany the compensation tables).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

OUR APPROACH TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

•We follow a pay for performance philosophy, intended to drive business results and maximize shareholder value. Compensation is therefore highly incentive-based and heavily weighted towards long-term awards to emphasize long-term performance.

•Our compensation philosophy is designed to attract and retain top talent in a competitive marketplace, reward business results and performance, and motivate executives to maximize long-term shareholder value.

•We strive every day to win as a team. To foster teamwork, and ensure internal pay equity, we utilize a cohort approach by aligning compensation across executive roles.

•We consider shareholder feedback, including the results of our annual say-on-pay vote, as well as feedback shared directly through our shareholder engagement efforts described on page 21.

FISCAL YEAR 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

In fiscal year 2026 we continued to execute against our multi-year strategy to drive growth. This includes additional changes to the senior executive team that remove layers and strengthen our leadership team's connection with consumers and the marketplace. In support of these changes, we implemented the following key compensation decisions, which are described in greater detail throughout the section below titled "Compensation of our Named Executive Officers":

•Updated PSP design for non-CEO NEOs to introduce a Management by Objectives ("MBO") component, weighted 20% of the total award, in order to drive individual accountability.

•Exercised negative discretion to downward adjust PSP award payouts for fiscal 2026 so that, in support of our one-team culture, the PSP financial metrics payout level would not exceed the payout level for the broad-based global annual bonus plan.

•Updated PSU design to use Adjusted Revenue (50%) and Adjusted EPS (50%) as the metrics for the fiscal 2026 – 2028 PSU awards, with a Relative TSR modifier, to provide an objective, market-based measure of performance.

•Granted equity-based retention awards to our NEOs in fiscal 2026 to enhance retention during this pivotal period and to collectively align the newly established leadership team to drive operating margin growth in the near term. All of the NEOs, except Mr. Friend, were appointed as executive officers following the fiscal 2025 CEO transition and did not receive retention awards in connection with that transition.

INCENTIVE AWARD OUTCOMES

The following summarizes incentive award outcomes for fiscal 2026. The fiscal 2024 – 2026 PSUs paid out at 0%. The fiscal 2026 PSP was earned at 101% based on achievement of the financial metrics; however, the Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion to reduce the financial metrics earnout to 74% to align with the broad-based global annual bonus plan. For non-CEO NEOs the achievement of financial metrics was weighted at 80% and the remaining 20% was based on MBOs which were earned at 90%. As a result, the fiscal 2026 PSP payout for the CEO was 74% and payout for the non-CEO NEOs was 78%. For more information on incentive award outcomes for the NEOs, see the section below titled "Compensation of our Named Executive Officers—Annual Cash Incentive" beginning on page 28.

REALIZABLE PAY

Because of our "pay for performance" compensation philosophy, executive compensation is highly incentive-based. In total, 92% of total target annual compensation for our CEO is at risk (87% for the other non-CEO NEOs). Since a significant portion of our executive compensation packages varies depending on company performance, the grant date value of compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table does not always reflect the actual realizable pay value that is ultimately received by our NEOs. Realizable pay reinforces a pay-for-performance linkage because the short- and long-term incentive opportunities under our executive compensation program only provide value when meaningful performance is achieved.

To illustrate the differences, the table below compares, for the CEO and other non-CEO NEOs (on average), the cumulative values for fiscal 2025 and 2026 for total target compensation, Summary Compensation Table compensation, and realizable pay at the end of fiscal year 2026.

For more information on realizable pay for the NEOs, see the section below titled "Realizable Pay" beginning on page 39.

The table below is not a substitute for the information required by the 2026 Summary Compensation Table for fiscal years 2024 – 2026, which appears on page 41.

COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES AND STRUCTURE

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain top-tier talent in a competitive marketplace and to maximize shareholder value by rewarding NEOs for strong Company performance. The program consists of direct compensation, with a focus on incentive compensation, and competitive benefits that are generally consistent with the benefits offered to our other U.S.-based employees.

We structure our executive compensation program in the context of our business strategy and talent plan. To foster teamwork and ensure internal pay equity, we utilize a segmented cohort approach that aligns compensation across certain executive roles. Cohort compensation levels are determined by holistically considering factors relating to our business, the competitive market for top-tier talent, the applicable executives—including future potential, individual performance, market insights, succession planning, retention, and leadership continuity—and, for each NEO other than our CEO, our CEO's recommendation.

Our philosophy is to "pay for performance" in order to drive business results and maximize shareholder value. As a result, executive compensation is highly incentive-based and weighted towards long-term awards to emphasize long-term performance and support retention. Our executive compensation program balances performance incentives, including by using multiple performance metrics and periods, and through a mixture of cash- and stock-based compensation elements. Stock-based compensation—which consists of PSUs, stock options, and RSUs—is also structured to pay for performance by linking the majority of each NEO's target total direct compensation directly to our stock price. The following charts illustrate the mix of components that make up fiscal 2026 target total annual direct compensation for our NEOs, excluding equity retention awards granted to the NEOs on a limited basis, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement.

BASE SALARY

Base salary is a fixed element of compensation that serves to attract and retain top-tier talent and provide a consistent, repeatable minimum amount of compensation. Generally, the Compensation Committee reviews and determines base salaries for our NEOs in June, with any adjustments becoming effective in August of the same year. The committee set Mr. Alagirisamy's base salary in connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer. For fiscal 2026, Mr. Leinwand's base salary was increased in alignment with our cohort approach. The table below shows the change in base salary for any NEO who was a NEO in the prior fiscal year.

ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE

Annual cash incentive awards are paid to the NEOs under our PSP and are designed to reflect our "pay for performance" philosophy. For fiscal 2026, PSP awards were eligible to be earned between 0% and 200% of target based on Company and, for non-CEO NEOs, individual performance during the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee retains discretion to adjust PSP metrics and award payouts based on individual or Company performance. As discussed in greater detail below, the Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion to adjust PSP award payouts for fiscal 2026.

The Compensation Committee set the PSP target awards for Mr. Alagirisamy in connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer. The committee maintained fiscal 2026 PSP target awards for each other NEO at the same level as his or her fiscal 2025 PSP target award. Therefore, the fiscal 2026 PSP target awards were:

29 NIKE, INC.


NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER			FISCAL 2026 PSP TARGET AWARD (% OF BASE SALARY)
Elliott Hill			200%
Matthew Friend			120%
Venkatesh Alagirisamy			120%
Treasure Heinle			120%
Robert Leinwand			120%

FINANCIAL METRICS

The fiscal 2026 PSP payout was based 100% on financial metrics for the CEO and 80% on financial metrics for the non-CEO NEOs (with the remaining 20% based on MBOs as described below). Consistent with the prior year, the Compensation Committee maintained equally weighted financial metrics of Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBIT as well as a single, year-long performance period.

Fiscal year 2026 was a year to reposition NIKE's business for future growth, reignite brand momentum and stabilize NIKE's business. Accordingly, in setting the year-long performance goals for the PSP, the Compensation Committee sought to drive sustainable and profitable growth in pursuit of those objectives. The Compensation Committee recognizes that PSP target levels should reflect goals which are rigorous yet reasonable and considers market conditions and prior performance. The Adjusted Revenue target goal represented an increase of approximately 0.5% compared to actual fiscal 2025 revenue, with threshold and maximum goals set equidistant from the target goal to balance stretch and risk. The Adjusted EBIT target goal represented a decrease of approximately 15% compared to actual fiscal 2025 EBIT, with threshold and maximum goals set non-equidistant from the target goal; additional upside stretch was built into the maximum goal to incentivize exceptional performance. In setting these targets, we strove to address both the anticipated impact from our actions to reposition NIKE for future growth and the uncertain and volatile operating environment that existed at the time these targets were set, including, but not limited to, geopolitical dynamics, tax regulation, and evolving tariff policies.

As described below, the performance levels for fiscal 2026 Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBIT were achieved at 76% and 125%, respectively. In support of our one-team culture, the fiscal 2026 broad-based annual bonus plan (applicable to the majority of employees below the executive officer level) used the same financial metrics as the PSP under which the NEOs participate and also weighted them equally. However, the broad-based annual plan used two equally-weighted, six-month performance periods to reduce the potential impact of volatility and thereby enable more aggressive target setting. To balance the commitment to a year-long performance period for the PSP with support for our one-team culture, the Compensation Committee determined that the financial metrics payout level for the fiscal 2026 PSP would not exceed the payout level for the fiscal 2026 broad-based global annual bonus plan, and committed to use its negative discretion to reduce the PSP financial metrics payout level if necessary. Bonuses under the broad-based global annual plan were earned below target (and lower than the PSP), and therefore the Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion for the PSP financial metric earnout to support our one-team culture.

For fiscal 2026, under the PSP, Adjusted Revenue of $45.8 billion corresponded to an earnout of 76% and Adjusted EBIT of $3.3 billion corresponded to an earnout of 125%. These earnouts were averaged together to calculate a financial metric earnout of 101%, and negative discretion was exercised as discussed above to reduce the financial metric earnout to 74%. Accordingly, the fiscal 2026 PSP payout for Mr. Hill, whose PSP is not subject to MBOs, was 74%.

MBOs

As noted above, in fiscal 2026, for non-CEO NEOs, the Committee approved leader-specific goals (or MBOs) weighted at 20%. The two MBOs consisted of:

•Managing wage-related operating overhead spend, and

•Enterprise goals for employee engagement.

These two metrics were selected respectively to drive operational efficiency and motivate and unite the employee base to win as a team and further long-term shareholder value and growth. In determining the MBO payouts, Mr. Hill completed a holistic assessment based on achievement against quantitative goals and qualitative considerations and recommended 90% achievement for the MBOs. All non-CEO NEOs successfully managed their wage-related operating overhead spend and enterprise goals for employee engagement remained generally consistent with the prior year. The Committee reviewed these results and Mr. Hill's recommendation and determined 90% achievement for the MBOs. These MBO earnouts, weighted at 20%, were combined with the 74% financial metric earnout (calculated by averaging the Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBIT earnouts and applying negative discretion, as described above) to calculate the fiscal 2026 PSP payouts for each of the non-CEO NEOs.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE

Long-term incentive compensation incentivizes and rewards long-term Company performance, aligns executives' interests with those of our shareholders, and promotes retention in a highly competitive talent marketplace. Therefore, this element of our executive compensation program forms the largest portion of our NEOs' direct compensation, constituting 78% of fiscal 2026 target total direct compensation for Mr. Hill on an annualized basis and 72% for each other non-CEO NEO, excluding equity retention awards described elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Long-term incentive compensation consists of three components: PSUs, stock options, and RSUs, each granted under our SIP. Fiscal 2026 NEO awards were delivered 50% as PSUs (consistent with fiscal year 2025), 25% as stock options, and 25% as RSUs, reflecting the Committee's determination to equally weight stock options and RSUs to strengthen the inherent value of the LTI portfolio and better align with market practice.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD MIX(1)

FISCAL 2026 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD GRANTS

The Compensation Committee determined the fiscal 2026 long-term incentive awards in June 2025. In setting the value of each long-term incentive award, the committee considered multiple factors, including individual and Company performance, evolving responsibilities, our cohort compensation approach, and retaining top-tier talent in a highly competitive talent marketplace.

The committee set the target value for Mr. Alagirisamy's long-term incentive award in connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer. Therefore, the fiscal 2026 long-term incentive award target values were:


NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER	TOTAL FISCAL 2026 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD		TARGET PSUs	STOCK OPTIONS	RSUs
Elliott Hill	$15,500,000	→	$7,750,000	$3,875,000	$3,875,000
Matthew Friend	$8,000,000	→	$4,000,000	$2,000,000	$2,000,000
Venkatesh Alagirisamy	$5,500,000	→	$2,750,000	$1,375,000	$1,375,000
Treasure Heinle	$5,500,000	→	$2,750,000	$1,375,000	$1,375,000
Robert Leinwand	$5,500,000	→	$2,750,000	$1,375,000	$1,375,000

(1)Because Mr. Alagirisamy was appointed after the awards for fiscal 2026 were granted to executive officers (including NEOs) in September 2025, Mr. Alagirisamy's fiscal 2026 long-term incentive awards were granted in two parts. He received an initial annual grant on September 1, 2025 and a supplemental grant on December 10, 2025 shortly following his appointment to achieve the total target long-term incentive awards set forth in this table. The share calculation methodology and vesting schedule for Mr. Alagirisamy's supplemental grant is the same as the September 1, 2025 annual equity grants to executive officers generally, but the exercise price of Mr. Alagirisamy's supplemental stock options is equal to the closing share price of the Company on the date of grant (as required per the terms and conditions of the SIP).

2026 – 2028 PSUs

PSUs align our NEOs' interests with those of our shareholders by motivating and rewarding achievement of long-term shareholder value and growth. PSU awards reflect our "pay for performance" philosophy: they are earned between 0% and 200% of target based on Company performance during a three-year performance period.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Compensation Committee selected the metrics, corresponding performance goals, and award terms for the fiscal 2026 – 2028 PSU awards. To focus executives on key financial measures that drive value creation, the Compensation Committee selected Adjusted Revenue (50%) and Adjusted EPS (50%) as the financial metrics for the fiscal 2026 – 2028 PSU awards, with a Relative TSR modifier that aligns payouts with shareholder experience, providing an objective, market-based measure of performance.

Performance is measured on an annual growth rate basis. For each of the three years within the performance period, the Compensation Committee approved individual annual targets for Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EPS expressed as a growth rate over the previous year's actual result. Targets were established for threshold (25%), target (100%), and maximum (200%), interpolated on a straight-line basis. This approach allows plan achievement to be calculated on a fiscal year basis (i.e., growth over prior year adjusted actuals) and averaged at the end of the three-year performance period, subject to the Relative TSR modifier which is measured over the full three-year performance period.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 32

The Compensation Committee selected this market-based approach for goal setting taking into account the inherent challenges in setting three-year cumulative financial goals in the current operating and macroeconomic environment. Utilizing annual growth rates provides for discrete annual goals within the performance period, while maintaining the integrity of the three-year performance period because the growth rates are approved before the grant date and the same rates apply to each year within the three-year period. It also ensures that participants remain sufficiently motivated over the full three-year performance period and are not disproportionately impacted, either positively or negatively, by an outlier year within the performance period.

The total payout opportunity for PSUs is 0% to 200%: 0% of target will be earned if the threshold level of performance is not satisfied, 25% of target will be earned if the threshold level is satisfied, 100% of target will be earned if the target level is satisfied, and 200% of target will be earned if the maximum level is satisfied. Performance for each financial metric is measured independently, so PSUs can be earned as long as the threshold is satisfied for at least one financial metric. The payout for each financial metric will be averaged together to calculate the total financial metric payout, and then the Relative TSR modifier will be applied.

The Relative TSR modifier is measured over the full three-year performance period and applied to the total financial metric payout as follows:


Relative TSR Level			Relative TSR Multiplier
25th Percentile or less			75.0%
Between 25th Percentile and 75th Percentile			No adjustment
75th Percentile or greater			125.0%

The final PSU payout is subject to a 200% maximum, regardless of the Relative TSR modifier. In the event NIKE's absolute TSR is negative for the 3-year performance period, then the Relative TSR modifier is capped at 100%. Any PSUs that are earned will vest on September 1, 2028.

The specific targets and corresponding achievement will be disclosed following the Committee's certification of achievement at the conclusion of the performance period. In setting the performance goals, the Compensation Committee considered factors including achievability and motivational impact, as well as our repositioning actions to drive our return to growth. The growth rate targets established by the committee are based on scenario analyses that factor in upside and downside for each metric over the three-year performance period. The targets were set to provide growth in each year of the performance period, with threshold growth levels grounded in achievability based on historical levels of performance, and maximum growth levels set to reward outperformance.

The target number of PSUs granted to each NEO for fiscal 2026 was determined by dividing the NEO's target award value by the average closing price of our Class B Stock for the 20-trading day period ending on the date of grant (or, for Mr. Alagirisamy's supplemental award granted in connection with his December 2025 appointment, the 20-trading day period ending on September 1, 2025, which was the date of the annual grant for equity-eligible employees generally). PSUs accumulate dividend equivalents that are paid only when, and to the extent, they vest.

STOCK OPTIONS

Stock options align our NEOs' interests with those of our shareholders by rewarding the achievement of upside potential, and they reflect our "pay for performance" philosophy by rewarding the NEOs only if the price of our Class B Stock appreciates.

The number of stock options granted to each NEO (excluding Mr. Alagirisamy) for fiscal 2026 was determined by dividing the NEO's award value by the Black-Scholes value (calculated based on a 20-day average stock price and the available five-year and seven-year interest rates) of a stock option on the date of grant. For Mr. Alagirisamy's supplemental award, granted in connection with his appointment in December 2025, the number of stock options granted was determined using the Black-Scholes value calculated for the 20-trading day period ending on September 1, 2025, which was the date of the annual grant for equity-eligible employees generally.

Options granted to the NEOs vest in equal annual installments over four years and have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our stock on the date of grant (or the trading day immediately prior to the grant date, if the grant date is not a trading day). To promote retention, stock options generally provide that if a NEO leaves the Company, they forfeit any unvested stock options. Forfeiture is subject to a limited retirement provision as well as partial accelerated vesting upon an involuntary termination of employment (each as described in the section below titled "Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control").

RSUs

RSUs align our NEOs' interests with those of our shareholders by rewarding the achievement of long-term value creation, and they reflect our "pay for performance" philosophy because their value is directly tied to our Class B Stock price.

The number of RSUs granted to each NEO for fiscal 2026 was determined by dividing the NEO's award value by the average closing price of our Class B Stock for the 20-trading day period ending on the date of grant (or, for Mr. Alagirisamy's supplemental award, granted in connection with his appointment in December 2025, the 20-trading day period ending on September 1, 2025, which was the date of the annual grant for equity-eligible employees generally). RSUs granted annually to the NEOs as part of long-term incentive compensation vest in equal annual installments over four years and accumulate dividend equivalents that are paid only upon vesting. To promote retention, RSU awards generally provide that any unvested RSUs are forfeited if the NEO leaves the Company. Forfeiture is subject to partial accelerated vesting upon an involuntary termination of employment or retirement (as described in the section below titled "Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control").

FISCAL 2024 PSU AWARD RESULTS

As previously disclosed in our 2024 proxy statement, the fiscal 2024 – 2026 PSU awards granted in June 2023 were to be earned between 0% and 200% of target based on Relative TSR over a three-year performance period (subject to a payout cap of 100% if Absolute TSR was negative). In addition, if Relative TSR was achieved at or above the threshold performance goal, a People & Planet modifier would allow the award payout to be increased or decreased by up to 20 percentage points (subject to both the 200% maximum earnout and the 100% Absolute TSR cap) based on a holistic assessment of the Company's performance.

NIKE's Relative TSR for fiscal years 2024 – 2026 was at the 1st percentile, corresponding to an earnout of 0%. Relative TSR was calculated in comparison to the companies that were included in the S&P 500 as of May 31, 2026, using the 20-trading day average stock price and assuming that dividends paid during the performance period were reinvested in the applicable company's stock. Because Relative TSR was below the threshold performance goal, the People & Planet modifier was not applicable. Therefore, as illustrated below, the total payout for the fiscal 2024 – 2026 PSU awards was 0% for each of the NEOs.

EQUITY RETENTION AWARDS

In December 2025, the Compensation Committee approved an equity-based retention grant with a target value of $15 million for Mr. Hill and $4 million for each of our non-CEO NEOs. These grants were designed to collectively motivate the newly established senior leadership team to execute on the Company's turnaround plan and strengthen retention during this pivotal period. While Mr. Friend received a retention award in September 2024 in connection with the CEO transition, all of the other NEOs, including Mr. Hill, were newly appointed as executive officers after that grant and did not receive it.

The December 2025 retention awards cliff vest on December 10, 2027 and are earned 50% subject to continuous service through the scheduled vesting date, and 50% subject to achievement of Adjusted Operating Margin Growth targets (the growth rate of fiscal 2027 EBIT Margin measured in basis points above fiscal 2026 EBIT Margin, each as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company). The Compensation Committee selected Adjusted Operating Margin Growth because it is a metric that measures profitability and operational efficiency, both of which play a key role in NIKE's turnaround.

For the Adjusted Operating Margin Growth performance measure, performance below target results in a 0% payout, achievement at target results in a 100% payout, and achievement equal to or exceeding the maximum performance value results in a 200% payout. Achievement between target and maximum performance values is interpolated on a straight-line basis.

The Committee carefully weighed shareholder feedback and considered multiple factors in determining the target award values and structure of the grant. The target award grant values balance providing meaningful retention for each NEO with the shareholder value we believe will be created through the achievement of growth in Adjusted Operating Margin by the end of fiscal 2027.

These awards are subject to partial accelerated vesting, based on actual Company performance during the performance period, upon an involuntary termination of employment (described in the section below titled "Executive Compensation Tables - Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control").

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 34

OTHER COMPENSATION

RETIREMENT PLANS

We maintain a U.S. tax qualified retirement savings plan—the 401(k) Plan—under which all eligible U.S. employees, including the NEOs, are able to make pre-tax and after-tax contributions from their cash compensation. We make annual matching contributions for all participants equal to 100% of their pre-tax contributions up to 5% of their total eligible compensation.

The Internal Revenue Code limits the amount of compensation that can be deferred under the 401(k) Plan, and also limits the amount of salary and annual cash incentive award ($350,000 for our 2026 fiscal year) that may be taken into account when determining contributions under that plan. Accordingly, we provide our NEOs and other highly compensated employees with the opportunity to defer their compensation, including amounts in excess of the tax law limit, under our DCP. We do not match deferrals to the DCP. Balances in the DCP, including the balances of the NEOs, are unsecured and at-risk, meaning that the balances may be forfeited in the event of the Company's financial distress, such as bankruptcy.

Fiscal 2026 matching contributions to the NEOs under the 401(k) Plan are included in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table on page 41.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees in the United States and in many countries outside of the United States, including the NEOs, to purchase Class B Stock through payroll deductions at a 15% discount to the market price on the first or last trading day of the six-month purchase period, depending on which day the stock price was lower.

PERQUISITES AND OTHER BENEFITS

Our executive compensation program includes limited perquisites and other personal benefits for our NEOs, which generally consist of home security and financial planning services. Given the nature of our business, from time to time certain Company employees, including certain executive officers, may also receive Company product, event tickets, or travel benefits that are not generally offered to all employees.

Effective June 1, 2024, consistent with the recommendation of an outside security provider hired by the Company to perform a comprehensive security assessment with respect to the CEO, Mr. Hill is entitled to unlimited personal use of Company aircraft, which is intended to increase his security, availability, and productivity. The unreimbursed incremental cost of his use is disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 41.

All NEOs participate in our standard Employee Matching Gift Program applicable to employees generally, without enhancement. Our Employee Matching Gift Program does not match employee contributions that benefit the employee, including contributions to the employee's personal or family foundation or to a non-profit organization that is managed or led by, or provides compensation or assistance to, the employee or a member of their family.

We do not provide any tax gross-ups on perquisites to our executive officers, other than for qualified relocation expenses in accordance with our standard relocation policy. Greater detail about the perquisites and personal benefits provided to our NEOs in fiscal 2026 is provided in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table on page 41.

Effective June 16, 2026, the Company adopted the NIKE, Inc. Executive Severance Pay Plan covering various executives, including the NEOs. See the section below titled "Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control" for additional information.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS

In exchange for non-competition agreements from each of our NEOs, we have agreed to provide monthly payments during the non-compete period following termination of employment, as described in the section below titled "Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control". We believe that it is appropriate to compensate individuals to refrain from working with competitors following termination, and that compensation enhances the enforceability of such agreements.

OTHER EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

Except as previously disclosed with respect to Mr. Hill, who entered into an offer letter with the Company in connection with his appointment as President and CEO, we do not have employment contracts with any of our NEOs, and all of our NEOs are employed at-will.

35 NIKE, INC.

OUR COMPENSATION PROCESS

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee oversees our executive compensation program, including determining the value and composition of the compensation package for each of our executive officers and setting annual performance goals for the CEO. In addition to any special actions the Compensation Committee may take throughout the year, the committee generally acts with respect to compensation for our NEOs during the fiscal year as follows:

PEER GROUP

Given the competitive market for top-tier talent, the Compensation Committee uses a peer group based on certain factors and criteria outlined below to provide a reference for assessing executive compensation levels and practices. Based on the criteria, the following peer group was considered for purposes of setting fiscal 2026 executive compensation:


Best Buy Company, Inc.	Microsoft Corporation	Starbucks Corporation
Cisco Systems, Inc.	Mondelez International, Inc.	Target Corporation
The Coca-Cola Company	Netflix, Inc.	TJX Companies
Kimberly-Clark Corporation	Pepsico, Inc.	Walmart Inc.
Lowe's Companies, Inc.	Procter & Gamble Company	The Walt Disney Company
McDonald's Corporation	Salesforce, Inc.

The Compensation Committee reviews our compensation peer group periodically to determine the appropriate companies to include. In its review, the Compensation Committee considers companies based on the following factors and criteria:

•Publicly-traded, U.S.-based companies, with revenues and market capitalization within a reasonable range of NIKE's revenue and market capitalization. At the time the committee approved the peer group, NIKE's revenue was at the 50th percentile of the peer group and NIKE's market capitalization was at the 43rd percentile of the peer group.

•Leading companies across retail, digital, and services spaces, with a focus on consumer products and having a top-tier brand value.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 36

•Competitors for talent, aligned to NIKE's evolving business and talent strategies.

•Companies that list NIKE as a peer or are in NIKE's peer group as selected by a proxy advisory firm.

In November 2025, the Compensation Committee further refined our peer group for purposes of setting fiscal 2027 executive compensation to remove Microsoft Corporation.

In addition to considering our peer group, the Compensation Committee also uses market survey data from third parties, including Aon, Willis Towers Watson, and Mercer, about a broader range of companies. The Compensation Committee generally does not set executive compensation at or near any particular percentile of peer group, or market, compensation. Instead, the committee considers compensation to be competitive if it is generally within a reasonable range of market median.

ROLE OF MANAGEMENT

The CEO makes compensation recommendations to, and participates in discussions with, the Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of each executive officer other than himself. Mr. Hill completed a holistic assessment of the MBOs under the PSP for each of the other NEOs at the end of fiscal year 2026 that factored in both quantitative measures and qualitative considerations. In June 2026, Mr. Hill recommended the MBO achievement level for the other NEOs and the Committee approved the payouts under the PSP. In addition, our human resources staff regularly provides data, analysis, and recommendations to the committee regarding executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee meets regularly in executive session without the CEO or other management present to discuss our executive compensation program. Such executive sessions include discussions about, among other topics, the CEO's performance and compensation and the design and operation of our executive compensation plans.

ROLE OF COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

The Compensation Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain compensation consultants to assist the committee in overseeing our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee chose not to retain any such consultants in fiscal 2026. However, in connection with the committee's analysis and decision-making regarding the fiscal 2026 executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee supplemented peer group data with information from surveys and reports containing competitive market data from Aon, Willis Towers Watson, and Mercer, which are obtained by our human resources staff.

OTHER COMPENSATION PRACTICES

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

We maintain stock ownership guidelines for executive officers that are designed to further align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders. Under the guidelines, each executive officer is required to hold NIKE stock valued at the following multiple of their annual base salary:


POSITION	OWNERSHIP LEVEL
Chief Executive Officer		8X Base Salary
Other Executive Officers (including NEOs)		3X Base Salary

New executive officers are required to attain these ownership levels within five years of their appointment. For purposes of calculating ownership, we exclude unvested PSUs that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions as well as all stock options (whether vested or unvested). As of May 31, 2026, the CEO and each of our other executive officers, including each other NEO, has met or is on track to meet the applicable ownership guideline within the requisite period.

HEDGING AND PLEDGING

The Company's Blackout and Pre-clearance Policy (which supplements our Insider Trading Policy) prohibits directors, executive officers, and other designated insiders (based on seniority and department) from engaging in transactions involving hedging, monetization, or short sales of NIKE stock, including zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts. The policy also requires directors and executive officers, along with members of their families and households, to obtain pre-approval from the Company's Chairman or CEO before pledging NIKE stock. Before any such approval is granted, the Company's Clearance Director considers the size of the pledge relative to the individual's other holdings, both direct and indirect, and NIKE's shares outstanding; the risk of foreclosure given the nature of the associated transaction; protections against the appearance of insider trading, including prohibitions on sales during trading blackouts; and the ability to timely report sales on Form 4.

37 NIKE, INC.

CHANGE-IN-CONTROL PROVISIONS

PSP awards do not accelerate upon a change in control. PSU, stock option, and RSU awards are subject only to "double-trigger" accelerated change-in-control vesting, meaning that vesting is accelerated only if there is a change in control of the Company, and either the acquiring entity fails to assume the awards or, within the following two years, the employee's employment is terminated by the acquirer without cause or by the employee for good reason. This double-trigger acceleration is intended to encourage executive retention through a period of uncertainty. The Compensation Committee believes that this approach will enhance shareholder value in the context of an acquisition and align executives' interests with those of investors. The effect of change-in-control transactions on stock-based awards is described further in the section below titled "Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control".

CLAWBACK

In December 2023, the Company adopted a revised clawback policy regarding accounting restatements in connection with the SEC's adoption of new rules to implement Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and corresponding NYSE listing standards. The clawback policy generally requires recoupment of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation (including any compensation granted, earned, or vested wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure) received by current and former executive officers (as defined in Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act), including our NEOs, during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the Company's material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. federal securities laws.

In addition to the clawback policy, the Company maintains clawback provisions in the PSP and all of our equity award agreements (including all time-vesting equity awards) that generally permit recoupment in the event of the recipient's theft, embezzlement, fraud, breach of confidentiality or other applicable restrictive covenants, or material breach of contract.

RISK ASSESSMENT

At the Compensation Committee's request, management prepared an assessment of potential risks associated with the Company's fiscal 2026 compensation programs, including any risk that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. This included an assessment of risks associated with each element of executive compensation. The assessment considered certain design features of the compensation program that reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking, such as reasonable performance targets, capped incentive compensation payouts, a balance of short- and long-term incentives, a balance of cash- and stock-based incentives, vesting of awards over time, and the potential for clawback of incentive compensation. In addition, for stock-based compensation, we have adopted stock ownership guidelines, provided for limited accelerated vesting of PSUs, stock options, and RSUs upon termination of employment, and provided for only double-trigger accelerated vesting of stock-based awards upon a change in control. The Compensation Committee reviewed the risk assessment and concluded that our compensation programs and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally places a $1 million limit on the amount of compensation a company can deduct in any one year for "covered employees". While the Compensation Committee seeks to preserve tax deductibility in developing and implementing our executive compensation program, the committee also believes that it is important to maintain flexibility in administering compensation programs in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals and the interests of our shareholders. Accordingly, we have not adopted a policy that all compensation must qualify as deductible for tax purposes and retain the ability to provide compensation that may not qualify as deductible under Section 162(m).

TIMING OF DECISIONS

In accordance with Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K, we are providing information regarding our procedures related to the grant of stock option awards close in time to the release of material non-public information. Although we do not have a policy, practice or obligation that requires us to grant stock options (or other equity or equity-based awards) on specific dates, we have adopted insider trading policies and procedures that govern the purchase, sale, and other disposition of our securities by our employees, directors, officers, and consultants.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 38

Our insider trading policies and procedures prohibit our employees, directors, officers, and consultants from, among other things, trading in our securities while in possession of material non-public information. The trading restrictions set out in the Company's Insider Trading Policy expressly apply to any sale of stock purchased upon exercise of a stock option. We have also adopted a Blackout and Pre-clearance Policy (which supplements our Insider Trading Policy) designed to help prevent accidental violations of the law and to avoid even the appearance of trading on inside information. The Blackout and Pre-clearance Policy generally prohibits directors, executive officers, and other designated insiders from, among other things, trading in NIKE securities during the period beginning on the fifteenth day of the last month of each fiscal quarter and ending after the first full trading day following the public release of the Company's earnings for that quarter (and during event-specific blackouts). Moreover, the Blackout and Pre-clearance Policy requires directors and executive officers, along with members of their families and households, to obtain pre-approval from the Company's Chairman or CEO before pledging NIKE stock. Before any such approval is granted, the Company's Clearance Director considers, among other factors, protections against the appearance of insider trading, including prohibitions on sales during trading blackouts.

Neither our Board nor our Compensation Committee takes material non-public information into account when determining the timing of equity awards, nor do we time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee determined in June 2024 to align the grant date for long-term incentive awards to executive officers (including NEOs) with the grant date for employees below the executive officer level. Accordingly, awards for fiscal 2026 were granted to executive officers (including NEOs, other than Mr. Alagirisamy's supplemental award) on September 1, 2025. We generally issue non-annual equity awards to our executive officers on a limited and infrequent basis, and not in accordance with any fixed schedule.

During fiscal 2026, there were no stock option awards granted to any NEO within four business days preceding the filing of any report on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information.

REALIZABLE PAY

Our philosophy is to "pay for performance". As a result, executive compensation is highly incentive-based and includes, among other elements, a mixture of variable cash- and stock-based compensation elements consisting of PSP, PSUs, stock options, and RSUs. In total, 92% of total target annual compensation for our CEO is at risk (87% for the other non-CEO NEOs). Given that a significant portion of our executive compensation packages varies depending on company performance, the grant date value of compensation reported annually in the Summary Compensation Table does not always reflect the actual realizable pay value that is ultimately received by our NEOs. Realizable Pay reinforces a pay-for-performance linkage because the short- and long-term incentive opportunities under our executive compensation program only provide value when meaningful performance is achieved.

To illustrate the differences, the graphs below compare, for the CEO and other non-CEO NEOs (on average), the cumulative values for fiscal 2025 and 2026 for Total Target Compensation, Summary Compensation Table Compensation, and Realizable Pay at the end of fiscal year 2026. For this purpose:

•"Total Target Compensation" is the sum of target annual base salary, target values for PSP, target values for annual long-term incentive awards and target values for equity retention awards (as applicable), in each case, for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

•"Summary Compensation Table Compensation" refers to the actual disclosure in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 (excluding amounts reported under the "All Other Compensation" column).

•"Realizable Pay" refers to the sum of actual base salary, actual PSP payouts, and the potential payout value of long-term incentive awards and equity retention awards (as applicable), for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

•Realizable Pay for stock options is based on their intrinsic value, assuming threshold achievement for the 2025-2027 PSU award and target achievement for the 2026-2028 PSU award as reported in the Outstanding Equity Awards Table, calculated using a stock price of $46.23, which was the closing price of our common stock on the last business day of fiscal 2026.

•Realizable Pay for the equity retention award granted on September 18, 2024 (applicable only to Mr. Friend) assumes 50% of the award is earned, and for the December 10, 2025 equity retention award assumes 100% of the award is earned, calculated using a stock price of $46.23, which was the closing price of our common stock on the last business day of fiscal 2026.

(1)Salary amounts for fiscal 2025 and 2026 reflect 26 bi-weekly pay periods, compared with 27 bi-weekly pay periods for fiscal 2024.

(2)For Fiscal 2025, reflects the sign-on cash award granted to Mr. Hill in connection with his appointment as President and CEO.

(3)Represents the grant date fair value of RSU and PSU awards, in each case computed in accordance with accounting guidance applicable to stock-based compensation. For RSUs, the grant date fair value was computed based on the closing market price of our Class B Stock on the grant date. For PSUs, the grant date fair value was computed using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. The assumptions made in determining the grant date fair value of PSUs under applicable accounting guidance are disclosed in footnote 5 of "Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2026". For fiscal 2026, the grant date fair value of the PSU awards that were granted as annual long-term incentive awards was: $8,813,456 for Mr. Hill, $4,548,875 for Mr. Friend, $2,635,392 for Mr. Alagirisamy, and $3,127,406 for Ms. Heinle and Mr. Leinwand. Assuming that the maximum level of performance conditions is achieved, such PSU award values would be: $15,686,613 for Mr. Hill, $8,096,306 for Mr. Friend, $4,878,617 for Mr. Alagirisamy, and $5,566,307 for Ms. Heinle and Mr. Leinwand. For equity retention awards, the grant date fair value was computed based on the closing market price of our Class B Stock on the grant date. Assuming the maximum level of the performance condition is achieved, the equity retention PSU award values would be: $23,104,066 for Mr. Hill and $6,161,102 for Messrs. Friend, Alagirisamy and Leinwand and Ms. Heinle.

(4)Represents the grant date fair value of options granted in the applicable fiscal year computed in accordance with accounting guidance applicable to stock-based compensation. The grant date fair value of the options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions made in determining the grant date fair value of options under applicable accounting guidance are disclosed in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2026.

(5)Amounts reported in this column represent annual cash incentive awards under the NIKE, Inc. Executive Performance Sharing Plan for the applicable fiscal year. Fiscal 2026 amounts were earned at 74% of target for Mr. Hill and 78% of target for each other NEO and were paid in fiscal 2027. No amounts were earned for fiscal 2025. Mr. Friend's fiscal 2024 amount represents his annual cash incentive award earned under the PSP for fiscal 2024.

(6)For fiscal 2026, includes Company matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan in the amount of $17,500 for Messrs. Friend and Alagirisamy, and Ms. Heinle and $13,877 for Mr. Leinwand. The amount for Mr. Hill includes $504,102 in aggregate incremental cost to the Company for personal use of the Company's aircraft, in addition to the value of security services, and Company-related merchandise. The aggregate incremental cost for personal use of the Company's aircraft is determined based on the variable operating cost to the Company, including the cost of fuel, maintenance, crew travel expenses, landing fees, parking fees, in-flight food and beverage, and other smaller variable costs associated with each flight.

(1)These amounts represent the potential performance-based annual cash incentive awards payable for performance during fiscal 2026 under our PSP. Under this plan, the Compensation Committee approved target awards for fiscal 2026 based on a percentage of the executive's salary as follows: Mr. Hill, 200%; Mr. Friend, 120%; Mr. Alagirisamy, 120%, Ms. Heinle, 120% and Mr. Leinwand, 120%. Fiscal 2026 PSP awards were eligible to be earned between 0% and 200% of target based on Company performance and MBO performance, as applicable, during fiscal 2026. Actual award payouts earned in fiscal 2026 and paid in fiscal 2027 are shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

(2)These amounts represent grants of PSUs and equity retention awards under the SIP. The PSUs are eligible to be earned between 0% and 200% of target based on Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EPS between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2028, with a Relative TSR modifier, as described under the section above titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Compensation of our Named Executive Officers – Long-Term Incentive – Fiscal 2026 Long-Term Incentive Award Grants – 2026 - 2028 PSUs." Earned PSUs will vest in September 2028 and are generally subject to continued employment through the vesting date. The equity retention awards granted on December 10, 2025 will cliff vest on December 10, 2027 and are earned 50% subject to continuous service through the scheduled vesting date, and 50% subject to the achievement of FY27 Adjusted Operating Margin growth goal. The portion of the award subject to the performance measure will be earned at 100% if such performance measure is achieved and up to a maximum of 200%. Vesting for PSUs and equity retention awards will be accelerated in certain circumstances as described in the section below titled "Potential Payouts Upon Termination or Change-in-Control". PSUs and equity retention awards accumulate cash dividend equivalents that are paid only when, and to the extent, they vest.

(3)Amounts reported in this column represent grants of RSUs under the SIP. All RSUs vest in four equal installments on September 1 of 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029. Vesting for all RSUs will be accelerated in certain circumstances as described in the section below titled "Potential Payouts Upon Termination or Change-in-Control". All RSUs accumulate cash dividend equivalents that are only paid upon vesting.

(4)Amounts reported in this column represent stock options granted under the SIP which become exercisable in four equal installments on September 1 of 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029. Options also become exercisable in certain circumstances as described in the section below titled "Potential Payouts Upon Termination or Change-in-Control". Each option has a maximum term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination in the event of the optionee's termination of employment.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 42

(5)For stock awards, represents the grant date fair value of (a) RSUs based on the closing market price of our Class B Stock on the grant date, (b) an equity retention grant, also valued based on the closing market price of our Class B Stock on the grant date and (c) PSUs based on values of $86.94 and $70.37 per share computed using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. The Monte Carlo simulation was performed using the remaining performance period of 2 – 3 years and assuming an expected volatility of 35.11% and 35.59% and risk-free interest rate of 3.52% and 3.49%. The expected volatility was based on an analysis of the historical volatility of the Class B Stock on the grant date for 2 – 3 years. The risk-free interest rate corresponding with the remaining performance period was calculated using the U.S. Treasury (constant maturity) risk-free rates in effect on the grant date for a 2- and 3-year period. For option awards, represents the grant date fair value of stock options granted based on a value of $20.05 and $24.12 per share, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions made in determining option values are disclosed in Note 9 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2026. Stock and option award values were computed in accordance with accounting guidance applicable to stock-based compensation.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

The NEOs are eligible to participate in our DCP. Participants in the DCP may elect in advance to defer up to 75 percent of their annual base salary, and up to 100 percent of their bonus.

We may make annual profit sharing contributions to defined contribution retirement plans. The contributions are allocated among eligible employees based on a percentage of their total salary and bonus for the year. To the fullest extent permitted under Internal Revenue Code limitations, these contributions are made to employees' accounts under our qualified 401(k) Plan. Contributions based on salary and bonus in excess of the tax law limit ($350,000 for fiscal 2026) are made as NIKE contributions under the DCP.

Amounts deferred under the DCP are credited to a participant's account under the DCP. Each participant may allocate his or her account among any combination of the investment options available under the DCP. Participants' accounts are adjusted to reflect the investment performance of the investment options selected by the participants. Participants can change the allocation of their account balances daily. The investment options available under the DCP consist of 22 mutual funds with a variety of investment objectives. The investment options had annual returns in fiscal 2026 ranging from 2.24% to 65.16%. Amounts credited to participants' accounts are invested by us in actual investments matching the investment options selected by the participants to ensure that we do not bear any investment risk related to participants' investment choices.

The table below lists the available investment options under the Deferred Compensation Plan and their annual return as of May 31, 2026.

The portion of a participant's account attributable to elective deferrals, including investment returns, is fully vested at all times. The portion of a participant's account attributable to NIKE contributions, including investment returns, is fully vested after the participant has been employed by us for five years. All of the NEOs are fully vested in their NIKE contributions.

Each time they elect to defer compensation, participants make an election regarding distribution of the compensation deferred under the election (as adjusted to reflect investment performance). A participant may elect for distribution to be made in a lump sum at the beginning of a predetermined year while the participant is still employed or in service (but no sooner than the fourth year after the year in which the distribution election is submitted). Alternatively, a participant may elect for distribution to be made in a lump sum or in quarterly installments over five, ten or fifteen years after termination of employment or service. Participants have limited rights to change their distribution elections. Participants may make a hardship withdrawal under certain circumstances. Subject to certain limitations, a participant may also at any time request to withdraw amounts from his or her account balance that were vested as of December 31, 2004 (and any subsequent investment returns on such amount). If such request is approved, the participant may withdraw 90% of the amount requested, and the remaining 10% will be permanently forfeited.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL

The Company does not maintain individual severance or change in control agreements with our NEOs, and, except as otherwise described above with respect to Mr. Hill in the section titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation of our Named Executive Officers—Other Compensation—Other Employment Arrangements", we do not have employment contracts with any of our current NEOs, all of whom are employed at-will.

However, our NEOs, including our current NEOs, are entitled to payments and benefits in connection with certain termination events pursuant to the standard terms and conditions of our equity award agreements under the SIP, as described below under the section titled "Equity Award Agreements". In addition, we have non-competition agreements with each of our NEOs, pursuant to which our NEOs may be entitled to receive monthly payments during the applicable post-termination noncompetition period, as described below under the section titled "Non-competition Agreements".

These payments and benefits for our current NEOs are described further below and, as applicable, quantified in the table, under the section titled “Summary of Potential Payments”, which assumes the relevant triggering event had occurred as of the last business day of our fiscal year, May 29, 2026, consistent with the SEC's compensation disclosure rules. A glossary of certain defined terms applicable to these agreements is included at the end of this section.

On June 16, 2026, the Company adopted the NIKE, Inc. Executive Severance Pay Plan, effective as of the same date, in which each of our NEOs is eligible to participate. For more information refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 23, 2026.

EQUITY AWARD AGREEMENTS

TERMINATION TREATMENT

As of May 29, 2026, each NEO held stock options, RSUs, and PSUs under the SIP, as set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards table above. Each award is evidenced by an award agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions of the award and the effect of any termination event or a change in control on unvested awards. As discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee approved changes to the payments and benefits triggered on certain employment terminations (other than in connection with a change in control) under the Company's stock option, RSU, and PSU award agreements, including with respect to long-term incentive award grants made to our NEOs, beginning with the fiscal 2025 grants. As a result, the effect of a termination event on outstanding stock option, RSU, and PSU awards varies according to whether the award was granted on or after the September 1, 2024 annual grant (the "Current Options" and "Current Stock Awards", as applicable) or prior to the September 1, 2024 annual grant (the "Pre-Fiscal 2025 Options" and "Pre-Fiscal 2025 Stock Awards", as applicable), as described in the award summaries below.

Pre-Fiscal 2025 Stock Awards

•RSUs and PSUs that are scheduled to vest within one year following the termination will vest, with PSUs vesting at 100% of target, and the remainder will be forfeited.

2025 EQUITY RETENTION AWARDS

As discussed in the section titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation of our Named Executive Officers—Equity Retention Awards" equity retention awards were granted to each of our NEOs to promote retention.

Each such award has a component (50%) that vests subject to continuous service and a component (50%) that vests subject to the achievement of an Adjusted Operating Margin Growth performance measure. All such one-time equity retention awards will immediately vest upon the death or disability of the holder, with the component of such awards subject to a performance measure vesting at 100% of target. In addition, under the terms of these awards, if the holder's employment or service is involuntarily terminated other than due to death, total disability, or "cause" (which term has substantially the same meaning as under the Current Stock Awards), then subject to the holder signing a general waiver and release of claims:

•for the component of the award that is not subject to a performance measure, a prorated portion will vest based on the number of months elapsed in the vesting period prior to the termination of employment, and such prorated portion will be settled within 74 days of such date of termination, and

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 50

•for the component of the award that is subject to a performance measure, the holder will remain eligible to earn a prorated portion based on the number of months elapsed in the vesting period prior to the termination of employment, determined based on actual performance measured at the end of the performance period, and any such earned prorated portion will be settled after the scheduled vesting date.

The equity retention awards do not provide for retirement treatment.

CHANGE-IN-CONTROL TREATMENT

Unvested stock option, RSU, and PSU awards (including the one-time equity retention awards discussed above) are subject to accelerated vesting under the SIP upon the occurrence of two events (a "double-trigger"): there is a "change in control"; and the NEO's employment is terminated by us without "cause" or by the NEO for "good reason", in each case between the change in control (or shareholder approval of the change in control, if earlier) and the second anniversary of the change in control (a "Qualifying CIC Termination"). Stock options will be exercisable for four years following termination of employment, but not beyond each option's original term. PSUs, per the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements, will vest at 100% of target or, for equity retention awards granted in 2025, pursuant to the terms provided in the SIP. Accelerated vesting of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs will also occur if we are acquired and the acquiring company does not assume the outstanding options, RSUs, or PSUs.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS

CEO AGREEMENTS

We have a non-competition agreement with Mr. Hill that extends for 18 months following the termination of his employment with us. Under this agreement, if Mr. Hill's employment is terminated by us without "cause" (as defined in his agreement), then so long as the covenant is not waived, we will make monthly payments to Mr. Hill during the noncompetition period in an amount equal to one-twelfth of his then current Annual NIKE Income. The agreements provide further that if Mr. Hill voluntarily resigns, then so long as the covenant is not waived, we will make monthly payments to him during the noncompetition period in an amount equal to one-twenty-fourth of his then current Annual NIKE Income. However, in accordance with applicable tax laws, commencement of the above-described monthly payments will be delayed until after the six-month period following Mr. Hill's separation from service, and all payments that he would otherwise have received during that period will be paid in a lump sum promptly following the end of the period, together with interest at the prime rate. If employment is terminated without "cause" (as defined in his agreement) or if Mr. Hill voluntarily resigns, the parties may mutually agree to waive the covenant not to compete, and if employment is terminated for "cause", we may unilaterally waive the covenant. If the covenant is waived, we will not be required to make the payments described above for the months as to which the waiver applies.

OTHER NEO AGREEMENTS

We have non-competition agreements with each of the other NEOs on generally the same terms as Mr. Hill, except that the noncompetition period is one year (instead of 18 months), we may unilaterally waive the covenant in all cases (including a termination without "cause"), and the monthly payments are one-twelfth or one-twenty-fourth of the executive's then current annual salary (instead of their Annual NIKE Income).

As described under the section above titled "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control", as of June 16, 2026, the Company adopted the NIKE, Inc. Executive Severance Pay Plan, which provides that any severance benefits that a NEO becomes eligible to receive under the NIKE, Inc. Executive Severance Pay Plan will be reduced by any pay or benefits to which the NEO would otherwise be entitled under the NEO's non-competition agreement.

51 NIKE, INC.

SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL PAYMENTS

The following table shows the estimated benefits that would have been received by the NEOs in respect of their outstanding equity awards (including, as applicable, any equity retention awards) and under their non-competition agreements upon certain types of termination of employment if the triggering event had occurred on May 29, 2026, when the closing price of our Class B Stock was $46.23 per share, assuming PSUs are earned at 100% of target.

(1)Assumes a termination of employment by NIKE without "cause" or by the NEO for "good reason" (in each case, as defined in the SIP or applicable award agreement) on or prior to the second anniversary of a change in control.

(2)Assumes an involuntary termination of employment without cause (that, for purposes of the Current Options, is not the result of "performance failures" or "prohibited acts") and due to a "divestiture" or "reduction in force" (as defined in the Pre-Fiscal 2025 Options and Pre-Fiscal 2025 Stock Awards). Upon an involuntary termination of employment without cause that is not a "divestiture" or "reduction in force", the NEOs would be entitled to the following amounts in aggregate: Mr. Hill, $6,645,979; Mr. Friend, $3,686,450; Mr. Alagirisamy, $1,214,370; Ms. Heinle, $1,974,714; and Mr. Leinwand, $2,029,266. As of May 29, 2026, Mr. Hill is eligible for retirement vesting under his equity awards; Ms. Heinle is eligible for retirement vesting (including, as applicable, "early retirement" vesting) under her equity awards; Mr. Leinwand is eligible for retirement vesting (including, as applicable, "early retirement" vesting) under his equity awards; and Mr. Friend and Mr. Alagirisamy are not eligible for retirement vesting under any of their equity awards because neither Mr. Friend nor Mr. Alagirisamy has reached age 55.

(3)Includes, for NEOs who are retirement eligible, as applicable, the value of the unvested stock options held by each NEO as of May 29, 2026 that would have continued to vest if the NEO had retired on that date. As of May 29, 2026, Mr. Hill is eligible for retirement vesting under his equity awards; Ms. Heinle is eligible for retirement vesting (including, as applicable, "early retirement" vesting) under her equity awards; Mr. Leinwand is eligible for retirement vesting (including, as applicable, "early retirement" vesting) under his equity awards; and Mr. Friend and Mr. Alagirisamy are not eligible for retirement vesting under any of their equity awards because neither Mr. Friend nor Mr. Alagirisamy has reached age 55.

(4)Information regarding outstanding unvested stock options held by each NEO is set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards table above. No amounts are shown in the table above because the applicable unvested stock options have no intrinsic value at the per share closing price of our Class B Stock on May 29, 2026.

(5)Information regarding unvested RSUs and PSUs held by each NEO is set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards table above.

(6)Represents the estimated aggregate potential benefits that each NEO would have been entitled to receive under his or her respective non-competition agreement had such NEO been terminated by us without "cause" or voluntarily resigned, in each case, on May 29, 2026, assuming the applicable covenants are not waived by us. No amounts are shown in the Qualifying CIC Termination column because the non-competition agreements do not provide for enhanced benefits in the event of a qualifying termination following a change in control; rather, in such event, the aggregate potential benefits that each NEO would be entitled to receive will be as shown under either the Involuntary Termination without Cause column or the Voluntary Resignation column, as applicable. The restriction period under the non-competition agreement with Mr. Hill is 18 months; the restriction period under the non-competition agreements with Mr. Friend, Mr. Alagirisamy, Ms. Heinle, and Mr. Leinwand is 12 months. The monthly payment amount that would become due to each of the NEOs for the duration of the applicable restriction period, assuming the applicable covenants are not waived by us or breached by the NEO, is as follows: assuming a termination by us without "cause": Mr. Hill, $375,000; Mr. Friend, $104,167; Mr. Alagirisamy, $85,417; Ms. Heinle, $83,333; and Mr. Leinwand, $85,417; and assuming a voluntary termination of employment: Mr. Hill, $187,500; Mr. Friend, $52,083; Mr. Alagirisamy, $42,708; Ms. Heinle, $41,667; and Mr. Leinwand, $42,708.

(7)Includes the accelerated vesting of certain one-time equity retention awards, as discussed under the section above titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation of our Named Executive Officers—Long-Term Incentive—Equity Retention Awards". These awards do not provide for retirement treatment.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 52

(8)Includes the equity retention award granted to Mr. Friend in 2024, as described in greater detail in last year's proxy statement. The only current NEO to have received an equity retention award in 2024 is Mr. Friend. The award immediately vests upon death or disability, with the component of such award subject to a performance measure vesting at 100% of target. In addition, if Mr. Friend's employment or service is involuntarily terminated other than due to death, total disability, or "cause" (which term has substantially the same meaning as under the Current Stock Awards), then subject to a general waiver and release of claims: (a) for the component of the award that is not subject to a performance measure (50%), a prorated portion will vest based on the number of months elapsed in the vesting period prior to the termination of employment, and (b) for the component of the award that is subject to a performance measure (50%), a prorated portion based on the number of months elapsed in the vesting period prior to the termination of employment will vest if the applicable performance measure is achieved on or prior to the termination of employment.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 54

CEO PAY RATIO

NIKE's pay and benefits are designed to be competitive and equitable, meet the needs of our global teammates, and reinforce our values. We pay for performance and impact by linking incentive pay to Company performance and seek to invest in positive experiences that have the greatest impact on the engagement and well-being of our employees. The executive compensation program is highly incentive-based and weighted towards long-term awards to emphasize long-term performance and support retention. Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain top-tier talent in a competitive market and to "pay for performance" in order to drive business results and maximize shareholder value.

For fiscal 2026, our last completed fiscal year:

•The employee identified at the median of all NIKE employees (other than our CEO) was a retail employee in the United Kingdom;

•The annual total compensation of the median employee was $48,695;

•The annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Hill, was $36,340,876; and

•Based on this information, the estimated ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median annual total compensation of all other NIKE employees was 746 to 1.

This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on the methodology described below. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

METHODOLOGY

For purposes of calculating this pay ratio, we used the same median employee that was identified in fiscal 2025, as we believe there has been no change in our employee population, our compensation arrangements, or our median employee's circumstances that would significantly affect our pay ratio disclosure. The determination of the median employee was made in fiscal 2025 using the methodology described below, and the median employee's fiscal 2026 annual total compensation was calculated based on the Summary Compensation Table rules used for our Named Executive Officers (in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K).

FISCAL 2025 METHODOLOGY

We use the first business day in May as the date to determine the median employee. The first business day in May 2025 was May 1, 2025. At that time, we had approximately 76,600 employees globally. Of those employees, approximately 73% were full-time, 53% were in retail jobs, and 49% were located in the United States.

To identify our median employee from our global employee population, we calculated annual compensation for fiscal 2025 based on base salary or hourly wages, as applicable. For the majority of our employees, base salary or hourly wages comprise the majority of their compensation. To determine wages for hourly employees, we used each individual's pay rate and estimated scheduled hours in the applicable Human Resources system of record. Compensation for permanent employees hired during the fiscal year was annualized, and compensation for non-U.S. employees was converted into U.S. dollars using the applicable currency conversion rate as reported in the Human Resources system of record for the median employee determination date.

If this consistently applied compensation methodology yielded a median employee who, during fiscal 2025, (1) was on a leave of absence that significantly impacted total pay during the year, or (2) was an hourly employee who worked significantly more or significantly fewer hours than their scheduled hours, that individual was excluded. If this consistently applied compensation methodology yielded two or more employees, we selected one.

AUDIT MATTERS

PROPOSAL 3

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit & Finance Committee of the Board has sole authority to retain, with shareholder ratification, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit & Finance Committee directly oversees the firm's work with respect to the annual audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and approves all audit engagement fees and terms. At least annually, the Audit & Finance Committee evaluates the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications, performance, and independence, including a review and evaluation of its lead partner. The Audit & Finance Committee is also involved in the selection of the new lead engagement partner following mandated rotation of the firm’s lead partner, and is responsible for considering the benefits of rotation of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit & Finance Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027 and to render other professional services as required.

PwC has served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for many years. The Audit & Finance Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of PwC as the independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Accordingly, the Audit & Finance Committee is submitting the appointment of PwC to shareholders for ratification. If the appointment is not ratified by our shareholders, the Audit & Finance Committee may reconsider whether it should appoint another independent registered public accounting firm.

Representatives of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to questions.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN



PROPOSAL 4 APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT OF NIKE, INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES


The Board of Directors is asking our shareholders to approve an amendment and restatement of the NIKE, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). The ESPP was initially adopted by the Board and shareholders in 2001 and was most recently amended in 2023 (the "Current ESPP"). On the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board unanimously approved an amended and restated version of the ESPP (the "Amended ESPP") on July 15, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The Amended ESPP would increase the number of shares of Class B Stock ("Shares") authorized for issuance thereunder by 16 million Shares to a total of 78 million Shares. The ESPP is intended to provide a convenient and practical means by which employees may participate in stock ownership of the Company. The ESPP serves the best interests of our shareholders by: •aligning employees' interests with those of our shareholders; •reinforcing a culture of ownership; and •enhancing the Company's ability to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated employees in a competitive marketplace. We recommend that shareholders approve the Amended ESPP to ensure that the number of Shares available for issuance under the ESPP is sufficient in light of the expected levels of ongoing participation and to help the Company meet the goals of its compensation strategy.


BOARD RECOMMENDATION

			The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval of the following resolution: RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the NIKE, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan as amended and restated.

61 NIKE, INC.

SUMMARY OF THE EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The following summary of the Amended ESPP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended ESPP, which is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit A. The Amended ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The Amended ESPP increases the number of Shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 16 million Shares to 78 million Shares, among other administrative and clerical revisions, including updates to the tax withholding provision and the addition of a governing law provision; it does not make any other material changes to the Current ESPP. If this proposal is rejected by shareholders, the total number of Shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the ESPP will remain at 62 million, of which approximately 5,093,140 remained available for issuance as of June 26, 2026. Based on our current forecasts and estimated participation rates, if the Amended ESPP is not approved, it is anticipated that the Current ESPP will run out of available Shares in approximately fiscal year 2028.

We believe that the ESPP furthers the interests of the Company and our shareholders by aligning employees' interests with those of our shareholders, reinforcing a culture of ownership, and enhancing the Company's ability to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated employees in a competitive marketplace. To continue to provide employees with benefits under the ESPP, we believe that additional Shares must be authorized because the number of Shares remaining available for issuance under the Current ESPP will not be sufficient in light of the expected levels of ongoing participation.

In considering its recommendation to seek shareholder approval for the addition of 16 million Shares to the ESPP, the Board considered the historical number of Shares purchased under the ESPP in the past 5 fiscal years. The Board also considered the Company's expectation that the additional Shares should last through approximately fiscal year 2031. However, the additional Shares could last for a longer or shorter period of time based on various factors which cannot be predicted, including the growth of our employee population, future ESPP offering practices, our Share price, and prevailing market conditions. In the event that more Shares are required for the ESPP in the future, the prior approval of our shareholders will be required.

DESCRIPTION OF THE AMENDED ESPP

ELIGIBILITY

The Amended ESPP is a broad-based plan in which almost all active employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries are eligible to participate, except for the following: (a) any employee who has been employed less than one month when an offering commences, (b) any employee whose customary employment is less than 20 hours per week, and (c) any employee who would, immediately after the purchase right grant for an offering, own or be deemed to own stock (including any stock the employee may purchase under outstanding purchase rights) representing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. As of June 26, 2026, approximately 32,159 employees, including all 8 executive officers, were eligible to participate in the ESPP.

SHARES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE

As noted above, if shareholders approve this proposal, the total number of Shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the Amended ESPP will be 78 million Shares. Such number of Shares is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, or other change in the outstanding Shares. As of June 26, 2026, the closing price of our Shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $40.75 per Share.

ADMINISTRATION

The Board has full power and authority to administer the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board has delegated to the Company's senior human resources executive (the "Authorized Officer") all authority for administration of the Amended ESPP and such Authorized Officer may delegate some or all of his or her duties and authority to one or more Company employees. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the Authorized Officer may promulgate rules and regulations, adopt forms for use in connection with the Amended ESPP, decide any question of interpretation or rights arising under, and generally supervises the administration of, the Amended ESPP. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all determinations and decisions of the Authorized Officer or the Board will be conclusive. The Company pays all expenses of the Amended ESPP.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 62

OFFERINGS

The Amended ESPP is implemented by a series of six-month offerings, with a new offering commencing on April 1 and October 1 of each 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. An eligible employee who joins the Amended ESPP (a "participant") may purchase Shares only through payroll deductions permitted under the Amended ESPP, unless the Board or the Authorized Officer determines that an alternative form of contributions may be used. Payroll deductions must be not less than 1% nor more than 10% of the participant's eligible compensation.

The maximum number of Shares that any participant may purchase in any single offering is 500 Shares. In addition, the terms of an offering may not allow a participant's right to purchase Shares under all stock purchase plans of the Company and its subsidiaries to which Section 423 of the Code applies to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of Shares, as determined on the offering date, for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding.

Eligible employees voluntarily elect whether or not to enroll in the Amended ESPP by submitting a subscription and payroll deduction authorization to the Company or its agent in a form and manner and by the deadline set by the Authorized Officer. A participant may terminate participation in the Amended ESPP by written notice to the Company submitted no later than the "change deadline" for that offering, which is the number of days before the purchase date established by the Authorized Officer. Participation in the Amended ESPP will also terminate when a participant ceases to be an eligible employee for any reason, including death or retirement, but not while such participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company in certain instances. Unless otherwise determined by the Authorized Officer, a transfer of a participant's employment between or among the Company and/or the Participating Subsidiaries will not be considered a termination of employment. An employee may not reinstate participation in the Amended ESPP with respect to a particular offering after terminating participation in the Amended ESPP with respect to that offering, but may participate in subsequent offerings. Generally, upon termination of a participant's participation in the Amended ESPP, all amounts deducted from the participant's pay that had not yet been used to purchase Shares will be returned to the employee. The rights of participants under the Amended ESPP are not transferable.

PURCHASE PRICE

The price at which Shares may be purchased in an offering is the lower of (a) 85 percent of the fair market value of a Share on the offering date of the offering or (b) 85 percent of the fair market value of a Share on the purchase date of the offering. The fair market value of a Share on any date is the closing price of the Share on the New York Stock Exchange on such date or, if such date is not a trading day, then on the first immediately preceding trading day prior to such date; provided that if the Share is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, then the fair market value of a Share will be such other reported value of the Share as may be specified by the Board.

PURCHASE OF SHARES; CUSTODIAN

All participant payroll deductions will be credited to the participant's account under the Amended ESPP. No interest will be paid on such accounts, unless otherwise determined by the Authorized Officer or required under applicable law. 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 purchase price (described above). Any cash balance remaining in a participant's account after a purchase date will be repaid to the participant. Shares purchased under the Amended ESPP are delivered to and held in the custody of a custodian (the "Custodian"), which is an investment or financial firm appointed by the Authorized Officer. 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 in the public market at the market price at the time the order is executed. Also by appropriate instructions, the participant may transfer all or part of the Shares held for that participant by the Custodian to the participant or to a regular individual brokerage account in the participant's own name, except that no Shares may be so transferred until two years after the offering date of the offering in which the Shares were purchased.

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS; REINVESTMENT

Stock dividends and other distributions in Shares, with respect to Shares held by the Custodian, will be issued to the Custodian and held by it for the account of the respective participants entitled to such dividends or other distributions. Cash distributions other than dividends, if any, on Shares held by the Custodian will be paid currently to the participants entitled to such distributions. Cash dividends, if any, on Shares held by the Custodian may be reinvested in Shares on behalf of the participants entitled to such dividends. The Custodian will establish a separate account for each participant for the purpose of holding any Shares acquired through reinvestment of participants' dividends.

63 NIKE, INC.

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

The Amended ESPP will terminate when all of the Shares reserved for purposes of the Amended ESPP have been purchased, provided that the Board or the Authorized Officer in their sole discretion may terminate the Amended ESPP at any time with respect to any participating subsidiary and the Board in its sole discretion may at any time terminate the Amended ESPP completely.

The Board or the Authorized Officer may at any time amend the Amended ESPP in any and all respects, except that only the Board may change (a) the number of Shares reserved for the Amended ESPP, (b) the maximum percentage of a participant's eligible compensation that may be deducted from a participant's paycheck during an offering, (c) the purchase price of Shares offered pursuant to the Amended ESPP, (d) the maximum number of Shares that any participant may purchase in any single offering or certain other purchase limitations, or (e) certain other terms of the Amended ESPP relating to the offering and purchase dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may not without shareholder approval increase the number of Shares reserved for the Amended ESPP (except for certain capital adjustments, described above under "Shares Authorized for Issuance") or decrease the purchase price of Shares offered pursuant to the Amended ESPP.

FUTURE ESPP BENEFITS

Participation in the Amended ESPP is voluntary and dependent on each eligible employee's election to participate and his or her determination as to the level of payroll deductions. Further, the number of Shares that may be purchased under the Amended ESPP is determined, in part, by the price of our Shares on the first and last day of each offering. Accordingly, the actual number of Shares that may be purchased by any eligible individual in the future is not determinable.

SUMMARY OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general summary under current law of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to participants in the Amended ESPP. This summary deals with the general tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Certain types of taxes, such as state and local income taxes, are not discussed. Tax laws are complex and subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. The summary does not discuss all aspects of income taxation that may be relevant to a participant in light of his or her personal investment circumstances. This summarized tax information is not tax advice.

The Amended ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. Under the Code, employees will not recognize taxable income or gain with respect to Shares purchased under the Amended ESPP either at the offering date or the purchase date of an offering. If an employee disposes of Shares purchased under the Amended ESPP more than two years after the offering date, or in the event of the employee's death at any time, the employee or the employee's estate generally will be required to report as ordinary compensation income for the taxable year of disposition or death an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair market value of the Shares at the time of disposition or death over the applicable purchase price, or (b) 15 percent of the fair market value of the Shares on the offering date. In the case of such a disposition or death, the Company will not be entitled to any deduction from income. Any gain on the disposition in excess of the amount treated as ordinary compensation income generally will be capital gain.

If an employee disposes of Shares purchased under the Amended ESPP within two years after the offering date, the employee generally will be required to report the excess of the fair market value of the Shares on the purchase date over the applicable purchase price as ordinary compensation income for the year of disposition. If the disposition is by sale, any difference between the fair market value of the Shares on the purchase date and the disposition price generally will be capital gain or loss. In the event of a disposition within two years after the offering date, the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction (subject to applicable limits under the Code) from income in the year of such disposition equal to the amount the employee is required to report as ordinary compensation income.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS



PROPOSAL 5 TO CONSIDER A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING A REPORT ON DISCRIMINATION IN CHARITABLE SUPPORT


The following shareholder proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting only if properly presented by or on behalf of the shareholder proponent. Bowyer Research, Inc., on behalf of William C. Cunningham, P.O. Box 120, McKeesport, PA 15135, beneficial owners of 154 shares of Class B Stock, has submitted the proposal. The proposal, including any supporting statements, is included exactly as submitted to us by the proponent. The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST the proposal and asks shareholders to read through NIKE's response, which follows the shareholder proposal.


Supporting Statement: Corporations routinely use their platforms to voice support for humanitarian causes and human rights. Unfortunately, some companies provide funds, data, or other resources to advocacy groups leading highly controversial social campaigns — particularly on gender and sexuality— often backing only one side of the debate. Such one-sided giving alienates significant portions of their customers, employees, and shareholders and exposes companies to reputational, market, and legal risk. One notable example is that of Nike, which has a verified, perfect score1 on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index. The Human Rights Campaign is a leading driver in getting companies to promote transgender activism. To get 100 points on its Corporate Equality Index,2 a company ostensibly agrees to cover radical adolescent transgender treatments recommended by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH),3 a group widely criticized for its ideological bias and lack of scientific rigor.4 These treatments include gender transition surgery, cross-sex hormone therapy, menstruation suppression, and puberty blockers. Supporting this activism may also alienate Nike employees who have religious or other moral objections to supporting these kinds of radical treatments with their healthcare premiums. Given Nike's many diversity initiatives,5 both past and present, investors are right to ask whether the company’s charitable partnerships respect the most crucial form of diversity: diversity of viewpoint. Partnering with HRC or similar organizations does not do so, given the organization's pressure on companies to take sides in political engagement. Furthermore, a perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index implies6 that the company likely covers highly controversial healthcare practices, including ones that are currently the subject of increasing legal liability7 and major shifts8 in medical guidance. These are serious concerns for any company aiming for political neutrality and avoidance of public controversy. This isn't merely a political or social point but a matter of brand value. Nike has a Interbrand-estimated9 brand value exceeding $33 billion, 41 percent of its roughly $80 billion market cap.10 Given the EEOC’s current high-profile investigation11 into Nike over "systemic race discrimination allegations" occurring partially as a result of the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, investors are right to be concerned about what further brand politicization could do to company performance. Many companies, including John Deere, Jack Daniels, Harley Davidson, Lowes, Home Depot, Ford, and Coors, have already refocused their charitable support in a manner that acknowledges the diverse views held by their customers and employees.12 65% of the Fortune 500 have ceased13 participation with activist groups such as the Human Rights Campaign as a part of this effort. Nike should do the same. Resolved: Shareholders request that Nike Inc. conduct an evaluation and issue a report within the next year, or disclose analysis which has already been performed, at reasonable expense and excluding proprietary and confidential information, analyzing the benefits, costs, and legal, reputational, competitive, and other relevant risks of the company's charitable support.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 66


OPPOSITION STATEMENT The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this proposal because: •The Company's current approach to charitable giving, together with our existing disclosures and guidelines, appropriately serves the best interests of our shareholders; and •The Proposal would divert Company time and resources to prepare a report that would not provide additional value to shareholders. The Company’s charitable giving plays an important role in supporting our strategy and advancing long-term shareholder value. The Company is committed to, and takes pride in, making a difference in the communities where we live, work, and play, including by supporting causes and organizations that align with our values where there is a clear strategic, business, or community need. These efforts help expand access to sport and grow the Company's consumer base by engaging more people. The Company's approach to charitable giving is reflected in initiatives such as the Nike Community Impact Fund and our partnerships with nonprofit organizations worldwide. Through these efforts, the Company drives positive, lasting change in the communities we serve and promotes broader participation in sport among future generations. Contrary to the Proponent's implications in its supporting statement, the Company contributes to a wide variety of charitable and civic organizations as part of our commitment to those communities and business objectives. Further, we support our employees to share in our mission whenever possible by supporting causes of their choice. Our employee-giving platform, Give Your Best ("GYB"), empowers employees who want to give back to their communities by donating money or volunteering to charitable organizations, subject to common exclusions, such as organizations found not to be in good standing. GYB allows the Company and the Nike Foundation to amplify giving efforts by matching donations dollar-for-dollar to schools and charitable organizations, up to $25,000 per calendar year, per employee. Business risks associated with charitable giving are evaluated by the Company and the Board of Directors. The Company devotes considerable time and resources to ensuring that our charitable partnerships advance business objectives and maintains processes and guidelines to evaluate and approve charitable contributions, nonprofit partnerships, and related policies. Charitable partnerships are approved by the Company only after a robust due diligence review of the proposed recipient organization. At the Board level, the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability and Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's community and social impact efforts and other corporate responsibility activities, including reviewing and providing guidance to management regarding the Company's significant corporate responsibility related activities, policies, investments and programs and our work with industry organizations and non-governmental organizations concerning corporate responsibility. This oversight ensures alignment with the Company's strategy of increasing access, participation, and inclusion in sport, supporting long-term shareholder value. The Company already provides significant disclosure regarding charitable giving. We believe it is important not only to engage with organizations and issues that are important to our business, our employees, and our shareholders, but to be transparent regarding that engagement. As a result, consistent with our Policy on Public Policy and Political Contributions, the Company annually reports political contributions to political candidates, organizations, and ballot initiatives on the Company's website. We also provide a list of significant governmental entities, NGOs and industry groups the Company is involved with in the resources section of the Company's Mission website. Therefore, in addition to being costly and time-consuming for the Company to prepare, the report that the Proposal requests would not provide meaningful additional information to the Company's shareholders.


BOARD RECOMMENDATION

X			The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST approval of the shareholder proposal.

67 NIKE, INC.



PROPOSAL 6 TO CONSIDER A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL TARGETS


The following shareholder proposal will be voted on at the Annual Meeting only if properly presented by or on behalf of the shareholder proponent. Green Century Capital Management, Inc., 114 State Street, Suite 200 Boston, MA 02109, beneficial owner of at least $25,000 of Class B Stock, submitted the proposal. The proposal, including any supporting statements, is included exactly as submitted to us by the proponent. The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST the proposal and asks shareholders to read through NIKE's response, which follows the shareholder proposal.
WHEREAS: Climate change may cost the global economy over $38 trillion annually by 2049.1 Mitigation is critical to address investment risks and avert economic losses. A warming climate is associated with enterprise risks, and climate inaction jeopardizes 34% of fashion industry profits by 2030.2 Nike's 10-K reports that: "Given the broad and global scope of our operations, we are particularly vulnerable to the physical risks of climate change."3 Risks include disruptions to the production of Nike's products, operations of retail stores, suppliers, manufacturers, distribution centers, and vendors. Given these risks, Nike acknowledges the importance of addressing and disclosing its climate mitigation strategy to stakeholders. In its 2023 issue prioritization matrix, Nike identified transparency, reporting and climate emissions as tier one issues.5 Its website states that "reporting is the primary tool we use to disclose important information to our stakeholders about how we manage social and environmental issues."6 In 2019, Nike adopted Science Based Targets initiative-verified goals, including reducing operational emissions 65% and supply chain emissions 30% by 2030.7 Yet, Nike did not release a comprehensive sustainability report in 2025, as it has routinely since 2001.8 Instead, it published sustainability data that omits qualitative updates on climate initiatives and lacks the detail of prior disclosures. Meanwhile, Nike must increase the pace of supply chain emissions reductions to achieve its 2030 target. As of FY24, its supply chain emissions have fallen 11% from a 2015 baseline, putting the company about one-third of the way to its goal with more than half the timeline elapsed.9 These emissions comprise 99% of Nike's greenhouse gas footprint and are thus essential to effectively addressing the climate risks outlined in its 10-K.10 Competitors such as New Balance, Adidas, Puma, and lululemon disclose annual sustainability reports and/or climate transition plans that provide ongoing visibility into actions to align their operations and value chains with their targets, including: •Processes for assessing, and responding to climate-related risks and opportunities; •Scenario analyses to develop climate strategy, based on several potential future climatic states; •Governance policies to support climate transition; •Future actions to reduce value chain emissions; •Expected emissions reductions and transition pathways associated with initiatives. RESOLVED: Shareholders request Nike issue a report, above and beyond existing disclosures, summarizing if and how it intends to achieve the company's existing science-based emissions reduction targets, such as describing credible pathways and needed resource commitments. The plan should be published at reasonable expense, excluding confidential information. SUPPORTING STATEMENT: In developing these disclosures, the proponent recommends considering, at management's discretion: •Forward-looking, quantitative strategies, and key actions, for achieving the Company's climate goals; •Guidance by advisory groups such as the Transition Plan Taskforce.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 68


OPPOSITION STATEMENT The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote AGAINST this proposal because: •We take a thoughtful and responsible approach when setting targets to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and intend to maintain that approach particularly in light of evolving methodologies and emerging global regulations; •The Company has a longstanding history of transparent and voluntary reporting and intends to continue our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and •The Board of Directors and our management are best positioned to determine the targets and related disclosures that are appropriate for the Company, especially given the complex and shifting developments in this area. We take a thoughtful and responsible approach when setting targets to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. At NIKE, we aim to drive innovation focused on performance and sustainability. Across our entire value chain, we strive to improve how we design, make and deliver products while reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. We have more than 20 years of experience setting greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. Most recently, we set a 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target in 2019, based on the then-effective methodologies developed by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Currently, we are assessing the greenhouse gas reduction target we set in 2019, consistent with SBTi’s requirement that companies review, recalculate and revalidate targets at least every five years. We intend to maintain a thoughtful and responsible approach as we continue the assessment of our greenhouse gas target. We believe such an approach is particularly crucial at this time in light of evolving methodologies and emerging global regulations in this area. We note that, for example, SBTi is in the process of updating its target-setting methodologies. In addition, jurisdictions in which we operate have recently adopted (or are expected to adopt) laws, regulations and policies related to corporate disclosure of, target-setting on, and pathways for achieving, greenhouse gas emissions reduction. NIKE is actively monitoring the evolving methodologies, regulations and other developments in this area. The Company has a longstanding history of transparent and voluntary reporting and intends to continue our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We have a longstanding history of transparent and voluntary reporting on our greenhouse gas emissions. As demonstrated by our latest Sustainability Data Report, which is available on our website, we already publish data on our emissions reduction progress. We continue to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, including: •69% reduction of absolute Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions from NIKE operations in FY24 (vs. FY20 baseline). •36% reduction of absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from NIKE's product manufacturing and transportation in FY24 (vs. FY20 baseline). •96% of electricity consumption in NIKE's global operations was sourced from renewable electricity in FY24. •27% of electricity used by core NIKE finished goods manufacturers was sourced from renewable electricity in FY24. We intend to continue taking action designed to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. We expect to continue to focus on the three areas of our business that account for the majority of our emissions: materials innovation, renewable energy transition, and transportation. We also plan to continue to provide transparent reporting on our greenhouse gas emissions, including as we assess our greenhouse gas reduction target and comply with applicable legal requirements. The Board of Directors and our management are best positioned to determine the targets and related disclosures that are appropriate for the Company. The Board of Directors and our management monitor and evaluate our climate- and other sustainability-related initiatives, including as companies' actions and initiatives on these matters continue to receive significant attention from regulators and other stakeholders. The legal and regulatory environments surrounding such matters are becoming increasingly complex, especially as regulators in different jurisdictions adopt diverging requirements. Our ability to meet the expectations and requirements of regulators and other key stakeholders (including our shareholders and customers), particularly in light of rapid changes in regulations, interpretations of existing regulations or consumer preferences, could affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as our policies and procedures relating to such matters. The Board of Directors and our management regularly review developments in this area as part of their holistic oversight of the risks and opportunities facing the Company. Given their collective industry knowledge and expertise, as well as their ongoing engagement and monitoring of the developments relevant to our Company (including those related to our sustainability initiatives and other aspects of our business), they are best positioned to determine our approach to setting any emissions reduction targets and related reporting on our progress and pathway towards achieving any such target. This proposal’s resolution is overly prescriptive in demanding an additional report on this topic and fails to take into account the evolving circumstances, regulatory requirements and other complexities facing the Company. Given the climate-related reporting that the Company already has published or is planning to publish (including both voluntary and regulatory disclosures), the report that this proposal requests would not provide meaningful additional information to the Company's shareholders and would constitute an unnecessary expenditure of the Company's resources and management's time.

STOCK OWNERSHIP INFORMATION

STOCK HOLDINGS OF CERTAIN OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth the number of shares of the classes of NIKE securities beneficially owned, as of June 30, 2026, after giving effect to any transactions that occurred on such date, by (1) each person known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of the Company's securities, (2) each of the directors and nominees for director, (3) each executive officer listed in the Summary Compensation Table ("NEOs"), and (4) all directors, NEOs, and other executive officers as a group. Because Class A Stock is convertible into Class B Stock on a share-for-share basis, each beneficial owner of Class A Stock is deemed by the SEC to be a beneficial owner of the same number of shares of Class B Stock. Therefore, in indicating a person's beneficial ownership of shares of Class B Stock in the table, it has been assumed that such person has converted into Class B Stock all shares of Class A Stock of which such person is a beneficial owner. For these reasons the table contains substantial duplications in the numbers of shares and percentages of Class A and Class B Stock shown for Swoosh, LLC, Philip Knight, and the Travis A. Knight 2009 Irrevocable Trust II. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all persons named below can be reached c/o Corporate Secretary, NIKE, Inc., One Bowerman Drive, Beaverton, Oregon 97005-6453.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and holders of more than 10 percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC reports regarding their ownership and changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Directors, officers, and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by the regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, during fiscal 2026, we believe that all such reports that were required to be filed under Section 16(a) were timely filed, except that one report relating to a December 10, 2025 grant of restricted stock units, performance-based stock units, and stock options to Venkatesh Alagirisamy was filed late due to administrative processing delays.

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares by proxy before the Annual Meeting using one of the following methods:

•Internet: Visit www.proxyvote.com and follow the on-screen instructions. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day and closes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 7, 2026 for shares held directly and by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 3, 2026 for shares held in a Plan;

•Mail: Complete, sign, date, and return your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope we have provided. Your completed and signed proxy card must be received prior to the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, please follow the instructions you receive from your bank, broker or record holder to vote your shares.

Voting During the Annual Meeting

If you are a shareholder of record or if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker or record holder and plan to vote during the Annual Meeting rather than in advance, you may do so by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NKE2026 and entering the 16-digit control number included in your Notice, voting instructions form, or proxy card. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you are encouraged to vote by proxy prior to the meeting. You can always change your vote, as described in more detail under "Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?"

75 NIKE, INC.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner or street name holder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are considered the "shareholder of record" with respect to those shares and we have sent the Notice (or if you received printed proxy materials, the Notice, proxy statement, and proxy card) directly to you. You may submit a proxy and vote those shares in the manner described in this proxy statement and the Notice.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker or other holder of record, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of shares held in street name. The Notice, voting instructions form, and/or proxy card have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank, or other holder of record who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other holder of record on how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing or by following their instructions for voting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card or Notice?

If you receive more than one proxy card or Notice, it means that you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, please follow the instructions included on each Notice you receive or, if you received printed proxy materials by mail, complete, sign, and return each proxy card you receive.

How many shares may be voted at the Annual Meeting?

On the close of business on July 8, 2026, 281,387,752 shares of Class A Stock and 1,202,110,951 shares of Class B Stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.

What constitutes a quorum?

For Proposal 1, the election of directors, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by each of the Class A Stock and Class B Stock separately constitutes a quorum of Class A Stock and Class B Stock, respectively. For Proposals 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by both of the Class A Stock and Class B Stock together constitutes a quorum. Withhold votes, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Broker non-votes occur when a person holding shares in street name, such as through a brokerage firm, does not provide instructions as to how to vote those shares and the broker does not then vote those shares on the shareholder's behalf.

How are votes calculated?

Each share of Class A Stock and each share of Class B Stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of our Common Stock will vote together on all matters at the Annual Meeting except for the election of directors, for which the holders of Class A Stock and holders of Class B Stock will vote separately. For more information regarding our Class A Stock and Class B Stock, see the section above titled "Corporate Governance—Capital Structure".

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 78

EXHIBIT A

NIKE, INC.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

(As amended as of September 8, 2026)

1.Purpose of the Plan. NIKE, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that ownership of shares of its common stock by employees of the Company and its Participating Subsidiaries (as defined below) 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 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide a convenient means by which employees of the Company and Participating Subsidiaries may purchase the Company’s shares through payroll deductions and a method by which the Company may assist and encourage such employees to become share owners. The Company operates a Foreign Subsidiary Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Foreign ESPP”) pursuant to which selected groups of employees of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (“Foreign Subsidiaries”) are provided a similar opportunity to purchase Company shares. Such groups of employees designated as participating groups for purposes of the Foreign ESPP are hereinafter referred to as “Participating Foreign ESPP Groups.”

2.Shares Reserved for the Plan. As of September 8, 2026 there are 78,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued or reacquired Class B Common Stock reserved for purposes of the Plan (which reflects an increase of 16,000,000 Shares from 62,000,000, the number of shares reserved under the Plan as of September 9, 2022). 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 full power and authority to administer the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board has delegated to the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company (or, if the officer who is the Company’s senior human resources executive shall have a title other than Chief Human Resources Officer, then such other officer) all authority for administration of the Plan and, in connection with such delegation and unless otherwise determined by the Board or required by applicable law, 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. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the Authorized Officer may promulgate rules and regulations for the operation of the Plan, 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 the Company and of each corporate subsidiary of the Company, but has delegated to the Authorized Officer the authority to designate from time to time those “subsidiary corporations” (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) of the Company which shall be participants in the Plan (each such participating subsidiary being hereinafter called a “Participating Subsidiary”). All Eligible Employees (as defined below) of the Company and all Eligible Employees of each Participating Subsidiary are eligible to participate in the Plan. An “Eligible Employee” is an employee of the Company or a Participating Subsidiary who has been employed by the Company or a Participating Subsidiary for at least one full month prior to the Offering Date (as defined below) excluding, however, (a) any employee whose customary employment is less than 20 hours per week and (b) any employee who would, after a purchase of shares under the Plan, own or be deemed (under Section 424(d) of 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. Employee status shall be determined consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(h). The Board and Authorized Officer shall have the sole discretion to determine whether an individual satisfies the definition of Eligible Employee under this paragraph 4, in a manner consistent with Section 423 of the Code, and any such determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any individual retroactively determined to be an Eligible Employee by the Company, a court, or a governmental agency will be permitted to participate only prospectively from the date of such determination. All participants granted options pursuant to an Offering (as defined below) shall have the same rights and privileges within the meaning of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code.

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.

79 NIKE, INC.

(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 authorized under paragraph 6 of the Plan, unless the Board or the Authorized Officer determines that an alternative form of contributions may be used; provided, however, that (i) no option shall permit the purchase of more than 500 shares, and (ii) no option may be granted under the Plan that would allow an employee’s right to purchase shares under all stock purchase plans of the Company and its parents and subsidiaries to which Section 423 of the Code applies to accrue at a rate that exceeds $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 and payroll deduction authorization in the form specified by the Company. The subscription and payroll deduction authorization 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 and payroll deduction authorization 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. The payroll deduction authorization will authorize the employing corporation 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; provided, however, that the amount actually deducted from any paycheck shall not exceed the amount remaining after deduction of all other required or elective withholdings and deductions from that paycheck. If payroll deductions are made by a Participating Subsidiary, that corporation will promptly remit the amount of the deductions to the Company.

(b)Definition of Compensation. “Compensation” means amounts received by the participant from the Company or Participating Subsidiary to the extent that the amounts are subject to federal income tax withholding on wages under Section 3401(a) of the Code, determined without regard to any limitations based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed, and adjusted as follows:

(i)Before-tax contributions to a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement, contributions to a plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code, and any amounts set aside by the participant from otherwise taxable pay under a welfare benefit plan qualified under Section 125 of the Code or for qualified transportation fringe benefits under Section 132 of the Code shall be included.

(ii)Taxable expense reimbursements, any amount paid in lieu of unused paid-time off (before or after termination of employment), moving expenses, welfare benefits, payments from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, amounts realized from the exercise of a stock option, settlement of restricted stock units, lapse of restrictions on restricted property or from any other equity incentive award, payments made in any form under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (or similar long term incentive arrangements maintained by a Participating Subsidiary), and adjustments for overseas employment (other than any transfer premium) shall be excluded.

(c)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 the 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 at least 10 business days prior to the payday for that paycheck or by such other deadline as established by the Authorized Officer. 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 the 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) 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.

(d)Terminating Participation. After a participant has begun participating in the Plan by initiating payroll deductions, the participant may terminate participation in the Plan by notice to the Company in the 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. Participation

2026 PROXY STATEMENT 80

in the Plan shall also terminate when a participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee for any reason, including death or retirement; provided, however, that for purposes of the Plan, a participant’s status as an Eligible Employee shall be considered to be continuing intact while such participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company; provided further, however, that if such period of leave of absence exceeds three months, and the participant’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or by contract, the participant’s status as an Eligible Employee shall be deemed to have terminated on the first day immediately following such three-month period. Unless otherwise determined by the Authorized Officer (on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis), a transfer of a participant’s employment between or among the Company and/or the Participating Subsidiaries shall not be considered a termination of employment. A participant may not reinstate participation in the Plan with respect to a particular Offering after 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 and not previously used to purchase shares under the Plan shall be returned to the participant.

7.Option Price. The price at which shares shall be purchased in an Offering 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 of the Class B Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on such date or, if such date is not a trading day, then on the first immediately preceding trading day prior to such date; provided that if the Class B Common Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, then the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock will be 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 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 applicable law. 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. Unless otherwise provided by the Board or the Authorized Officer in its discretion, 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 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 state of 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

81 NIKE, INC.

be paid currently to the participants entitled thereto. Cash dividends, if any, on shares held by the Custodian may 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 any shares acquired through reinvestment of participants’ 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 such portion of the funds designated for reinvestment 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 such participants. For those participants receiving cash dividends, the Custodian shall allocate the remainder of such funds among the accounts of such participants pro rata based upon the amount of dividends received. 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. Each participant who has purchased shares under the Plan shall immediately upon notification of the amount due, if any, pay to the Company in cash amounts necessary to satisfy any applicable federal, state and local tax or other withholding determined by the Company to be required. If the Company determines that additional withholding is required beyond any amount deposited by the participant, the participant shall pay such amount to the Company on demand. If the participant fails to pay the amount demanded, the Company, in its discretion, may (i) withhold that amount from other amounts payable by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to the participant, including salary, (ii) withhold shares otherwise issuable following a Purchase Date have an aggregate fair market value to pay the withholding taxes that remain due, or (iii) withhold from proceeds of the sale of the shares issued following the Purchase Date, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company, in all cases subject to applicable law.

16.Responsibility and Indemnity. Neither the Company, the Board, the Custodian, any Participating Subsidiary, any Foreign 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 state and federal laws and regulations, compliance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may be listed, and approval of such federal and state authorities or agencies as may have jurisdiction over the Plan or the Company or any Participating Subsidiary. 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(a) above the maximum percentage of a participant’s Compensation that may be deducted from a participant’s paycheck during an Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may not without the approval of the shareholders of the Company increase the number of shares reserved for purposes of the Plan (except for adjustments authorized in paragraph 2 above) or decrease the purchase price of shares offered pursuant to the Plan.

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 Subsidiary, 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.

20.No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Participating Subsidiary from taking any corporate action (including the Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets) which is deemed by it to be appropriate, or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan, or any rights awarded participants under the Plan. No employee, beneficiary, or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Participating Subsidiary as a result of any such action.

21.Tax.

(a)Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify an option for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the United States or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on participants under the Plan.

(b)Separate Offerings. Unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Authorized Officer, each Offering to the Eligible Employees of the Company and of a Participating Subsidiary shall be deemed a separate Offering under the Plan, and the provisions of the Plan will separately apply to each such Offering. The terms of separate Offerings need not be identical provided that the terms of the Plan and an Offering together satisfy Section 423 of the Code.

22.Governing Law. Except to the extent that provisions of this Plan are governed by applicable provisions of the Code or any other substantive provision of United States federal law, this Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Oregon without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
