  • 2019 Annual Report and Notice of Annual Meeting 1 a WINNING LONG-TERM STRATEGY
    TABLE OF CONTENTS Letter to our Shareholders 1 Notice of Annual Meeting 9 Form 10-K 65 JULY 23, 2019 TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, This past March, I traveled to Paris to join Nike athletes and teammates for an unforgettable moment leading up to the summer’s World Cup. Together, with more than two dozen of the world’s best female footballers and other athletes, we unveiled 14 national team kits — a tournament record for Nike. As the lights came up on the incredible assembly of athletes, it was clear to me that the impact of the moment would be felt far beyond the tournament. This was an opportunity to create generational change — to bring more energy and participation to all women’s sports. That same day, we announced new grassroots partnerships that will expand opportunities for girls through sport for years to come. And powerful new chapters of our “Dream Crazy” campaign invited millions across the globe to join us in honoring the trailblazers of women’s sport — past, present and future. All of this captured a simple truth: FY19 was a year that moved Nike closer than ever before to our ultimate mission, to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world. Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, who led an unwavering U.S. Women’s National Team to one of the most-watched Women’s World Cup finals in history, were not alone in their triumphs in FY19. Shining moments across the Nike roster of athletes made this a year to behold. Eliud Kipchoge shattered the marathon world record.

Contact: [email protected] Sneaker Culture Has Given Black Men Fashion Freedom While Creating Restriction Sneakers have become far more than a sport accessory when it was first introduced to the world over a century ago. They’ve become a part of pop culture--fashion, movies, television shows and music. Youths waiting in line for hours, days, even weeks near storefronts in oversized camping tents and sleeping bags has become the norm in the consumer industry. It’s the ultimate score to be one of the first people to acquire “that” sneaker. The sneaker that has been marketed for months with endless television and Internet ads is finally here. An accessory geared to materialistic teenage boys and financially struggling college-aged men, giving them an individual style of their own and above all, endless praise. Sneakers have led to the creation of a culture driven by freedom of expression and economic success. The trend also raises questions about the implications of race and masculinity. Figure 1: Attendee at a Sneakercon event in New York City, displays his sneaker collection for those interested in buying or trading.

A HISTORY OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN AMERICA John K. Wilson 275 Pages December 2014 This study explores the history of academic freedom in America through the focus of three interpretive models--the Gentleman Scientist Model, the Liberty Model, and the Professional Model—to show how the concept evolved over the past century. It examines violations of academic freedom, AAUP statements, and debates about the meaning of academic freedom to show how it remains a contested concept. It concludes that by studying the origins and changes in the idea of academic freedom in America, current controversies can be better understood. A HISTORY OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN AMERICA JOHN K.
