Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
         AND FINANCIAL CONDITION 
 
Operating Results 
_________________ 
 
 
     The first quarter ended August 31, 1995 established new 
record highs for revenues and net income.  Revenues increased 38% 
to $1.615 billion, compared to $1.170 billion in the prior year's 
first quarter.  Net income was $165 million, or $2.26 per share, 
compared to $106 million, or $1.43 per share for the same period 
in the prior year.  The 55% increase in net income was due to the 
record revenues as well as a decrease in selling and administrative 
expenses as a percent of revenues, from 25% in the prior year 
to 22.3% in the current year. 
 
     Revenues increased $444 million over the record $1.2 billion 
reported in the same period of the prior year.  U.S. footwear 
increased $136 million, or 21%, resulting from an increase of 
19% in pairs shipped and a 2% increase in average selling price due 
to sales mix.  Revenues increased in all U.S. footwear categories.  
U.S. apparel was up $88 million over last year's first quarter, an 
increase of 93%.  International revenues increased $131 million, or 
36%, composed of 33% and 48% increases in international (n0n-U.S.) 
footwear and apparel revenues, respectively.  The international 
growth included a 6% increase resulting from new NIKE subsidiaries 
and a positive 8% affect from foreign exchange translation.  All 
other brands, which includes Cole Haan (R), Tetra Plastics, Sports 
Specialties and Canstar Sports, increased during the quarter, however 
the primary increase was due to $75 million in revenues from Canstar 
Sports, which was acquired in the third quarter of the prior fiscal 
year.  The breakdown of revenues follows:

     Consolidated gross margins were relatively flat at 40.1% 
compared to 40.2% in the prior year.  Strong demand for NIKE 
products combined with sound inventory management resulted in 
stable NIKE brand margins.  The Company continues to place 
strong emphasis on inventory management, minimizing foreign 
exchange risk, and production sourcing in order to maximize 
gross profit. 
 
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $67 million in 
absolute dollars over the previous year's first quarter, however, as 
a percent of sales decreased 2.7 percentage points to 22.3%.  The 
largest increase in absolute dollars was $29 million from international, 
with $12 million a result of exchange rates, $5 million from new 
subsidiaries, and the remainder due to increased levels of operations. 
U.S. NIKE brand operations were up $22 million, primarily in planned 
marketing expenses.  Canstar Sports added $12 million of expenses. 
The Company anticipates that total fiscal 1996 selling and 
administrative expense as a percent of revenues will 
approximate the prior year. 
 
     Interest expense for the quarter increased $6.6 million over 
the prior year due to increased short term borrowings for both U.S. 
and international operations.  Other income decreased 
$9.2 million, primarily as a result of increased goodwill expense, 
increased profit share plan expense and decreased interest income.  
Goodwill expense and interest income were most significantly affected 
by the acquisition of Canstar Sports. 
 
     The Company's effective tax rate for the quarter was 38.5% 
compared to 39.0% in the prior year. This is primarily due to 
lower taxes provided on non-U.S. earnings.  The Company anticipates 
the tax rate for fiscal 1996 will approximate 38.5%. 
 
     Worldwide orders for NIKE Brand athletic footwear and apparel 
scheduled for delivery from September 1995 through January 1996 were 
approximately $2.3 billion, 32% higher than such orders booked in 
the comparable period of the prior year.  These orders are not 
necessarily indicative of total revenues for subsequent periods 
because the mix of advance orders and "at once" shipments may vary 
significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.  Additionally, 
as international operations continue to shift to a greater emphasis on 
futures orders, this mix again may vary.  Finally, exchange rates can 
cause differences in the comparisons. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
     The Company's financial position remains strong, with working 
capital rising $119 million since May 31, 1995.  The working capital 
ratio remained the same as of May 31, 1995 at 1.9:1. 
 
     Cash and equivalents decreased $38 million from May 31, 1995. 
Cash provided by operations was reduced by increases in working capital 
components.  Other significant uses of cash included 
additions to property, plant and equipment, decreases in short 
term borrowings and long term debt. 
 
     The increase in working capital components was primarily due 
to increases in accounts receivable and inventories, offset by 
increases in accounts payable and taxes payable.  The increase in 
accounts receivable of $139 million was due to sales growth in both 
July and August over last May's comparable two month period. Overall 
inventories increased $47 million in conjunction with levels of 
operations, primarily due to U.S. apparel and international footwear 
and apparel inventories which have increased $18 million and $58 
million, respectively.  U.S. footwear inventories decreased $29 million 
due to record shipments and timing of inventory receipts.  Increases in 
accounts payable and taxes payable are a result of the increased level 
of operations. 
 
     The additions to property, plant and equipment were composed 
of normal operational spending, the continued consolidation of European 
footwear warehouses, expansion of NIKE Town retail locations and 
acquisition of land adjacent to the world headquarters. 
 
     The Company also utilized cash to reduce short term debt 
outstanding 
at May 31, 1995 and to retire long term debt acquired in the purchase 
of Canstar Sports. 
 
     During the quarter, the Company purchased 200,000 shares of 
its own stock under the stock repurchase program announced in 
July 1993, bringing the total number of shares purchased in the 
program to approximately 5,149,000. 
 
     In September of 1995, the Company's Board of Directors announced 
a two-for-one stock split following shareholder approval an 
increase in the number of authorized Class A and Class B Common 
shares.  The stock split will be in the form of a 100 percent 
stock dividend to be paid on October 30, 1995 to shareholders of 
record on October 9, 1995. 
 
     The debt to equity ratio at August 31, 1995 was .6:1 compared 
to .6:1 at May 31, 1995 and .4:1 at August 31, 1994.  Management 
believes that funds generated by operations, together with 
currently available resources, will adequately finance anticipated 
fiscal 1996 expenditures, with the potential exception of the stock 
repurchase program discussed above.  At August 31, 1995, the Company 
had $300 million available in committed unused lines of credit.
