Nothing better than cracker jacks, hot dogs and good old-fashioned sandlot-style baseball — especially when you’re cheering on your NIKE, Inc. teammates. Last week, a team of 17 World Headquarters–based employees formed the Nike Knights — a roster that featured recreational players along with former MLBers and Little League heavy hitters — and stepped up to the plate to challenge the Moontowers, an Austin, Texas baseball club. How you know the game was legit: We made our players their own baseball cards. (Check out that image carousel.) “I loved seeing how excited all the Nike employees were to be out on the field again, playing a sport that they’re passionate about,” says Paige von Sprecken, Senior Professional in APLA Communications and former University of Texas at Austin pitcher, who suited up for the Knights. “There was also this realization of, ‘How cool is it that we get to do things like this during our day job?’ It was truly an only-at-Nike experience.” Going into the final innings, the Moontowers held a lead, and our home team was lagging, until — in a moment of quintessential Nike magic — the Nike Knights secured a 13-11 win, ending the game with a dramatic walk-off grand slam.

Don’t just say you’re about it — show you are. That was the theme for Nike teams attending the Disability:In Global conference and Expo in Orlando last week, which provides a unique opportunity to get tools and resources necessary to create a future of sport that serves all athletes*, including athletes with disabilities. At the Nike booth, teammates displayed Nike’s EasyOn technology and adaptive apparel and accessories and helped explain how these products are created by listening to the voice of disabled athletes and designed to enhance the look, feel and performance of all athletes.   "Being part of this disability conference reminded me just how deeply Nike's values are in my DNA,” says Craig Broyles, MS. “It made me incredibly proud to work for a company that not only believes 'If you have a body, you are an athlete,' but actively shows up to champion inclusivity and representation. The reactions from the disability community to our products speak more powerfully about the impact of this work than any sales data ever could. This experience reinforced that Nike is leading the way in creating a future of sport that includes everyone."   At the conference, Nike also received the 2025 Disability:In Inclusive Marketing Award in recognition of our efforts to make the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games the most accessible and inclusive in our company’s history. We’re proud of this recognition because it reflects one of our core values — using the power of sport to unite.   “Disability inclusion requires breaking down silos and fostering collaboration among everyone — and at Nike, we don't just talk about it, we do it,” says Alexandria Caldwell. “Our focus is on improving accessibility for consumers and making a tangible impact, and it was great to see Just Do It in action.”   Learn more about our approach to accessible products — and through the sport accessory that everyone in our offices wants to get: https://lnkd.in/gA2AfGBE * If you have a body, you are an athlete   #NikeEasyOn #TeamNike #JustDoIt

Volunteering two hours per week can make a lifetime of difference. Just ask Jasper Liau. At Nike, Jasper L. works as a Senior Financial Analyst, North America Direct Finance. For the last eight years, he’s also volunteered as a coach with Special Olympics Oregon (SOOR). He grew up playing soccer, though he had never coached before getting involved with SOOR — but that didn’t stop him from jumping in with local disabled athletes in Washington County, making sure they have positive experiences through sport, staying active, socializing and building important life skills. “Sport is one of my great joys in life, and to be able to share it, and all the benefits it brings, with these athletes is such a gift,” Jasper says. Today, in service of our commitment to train more coaches like Jason who are changing the game for young athletes, we proudly announce a global partnership with Special Olympics. This partnership expands on our more than two decades of support for SOOR and will set a new standard for global, inclusive coach education and increase access to sport in the Special Olympics Unified Sports® program, where athletes with and without intellectual disabilities (ID) play together on the same team. The partnership also aims to recruit 600 more Unified Sports volunteer coaches to more closely reflect the athletes they serve, and create more opportunities for young women and girls to access Unified Sports. Jasper says those who are hesitant to jump into coaching should take a look at his own background. He’s not your typical running coach with decades of experience, yet he still helped athletes from the Washington County Track & Field team qualify for the Special Olympic Oregon Summer State Games, which took place last weekend. Deep down, there’s a coach in all of us. Want to coach like Jasper?

Every year in Portland, as well as in other key cities and employee backyards across the U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan, the Nike Community Impact Fund (NCIF) recognizes local, grassroots organizations that are doing their part to make play possible for all youth in their communities. What’s special about NCIF is how the grants are chosen — by an employee selection committee, made up of Nike teammates who freely give of their time and energy. The committee shares its personal insights to help Nike determine who should receive funding. As someone who grew up about 20 minutes from Nike WHQ, Morgan Beltz-Hally, a senior manager on Nike’s North America Government & Public Affairs team, has seen a lot of the company’s community investments build over the years, including the renovation of her high school’s track. By joining this year’s NCIF employee grant selection committee, she’s had an opportunity to experience it from the inside out. “Our community programs and partnerships make up so much of the heartbeat of Nike, and it’s empowering to be at a company that really cares about giving back and investing in the communities where we live and work,” says Morgan. “To see it all in action is very impactful.” Since 2009, NCIF has awarded more than $16 million through 1665 grants and engaged nearly 3000 employees. This year, we provided $1.4 million in grants to support 130+ organizations — 34 of which are based in the Portland Metro Area.

The eyes of the football world are on Switzerland as 16 women’s national teams across Europe go head to head. Before its opening match, the Dutch women’s team traveled to Nike’s European Headquarters in Hilversum for a proper, celebratory send-off from our EHQ teammates — alongside young girls from one of EHQ’s beloved community partners, Favela Street, an organization that uses football to connect with local kids and foster community. #JustDoIt #SwooshLife #NikeFootball

Last week, thousands stood trackside at Stade Charléty in Paris, hearts pounding, as Faith Kipyegon chased the “impossible”: the first sub-4-minute mile by a woman.     Among them were seven Nike employees from around the world who had the opportunity to join an unforgettable Breaking4 experience that brought them into the soul of the city and the spirit of the sport. They ran through the streets of Paris with local run club 8lines, participated in a competitive relay led by urban running series Blocks League, and soaked in the culture that surrounded this historic attempt. But most of all, they witnessed what it means to push boundaries and dare to dream.    “It was an experience for the books,” says Pui Fong Wong, Sr. Specialist, Retail Asset Management. “A reminder that when women and Nike push boundaries, there’s no limit to what we can do.”    At Nike, moments like this aren’t just possible — they’re part of who we are. Because when you believe in breaking barriers, you create space for the world to believe too. #Breaking4 #NikeRunning #JustDoIt
