Visiting Nike headquarters in Oregon is one of the things I love to do. Dare I say that I find it a very enchanting place? Here are some photos from a recent visit.

First stop: Nike store. My shopping cart started like this.

Have you heard the phrase “kid in a candy store”?

Loading up on shoes. In total, I bought four pairs.

At the checkout counter.

How could I resist buying this for my son?

Next stop: Tiger Woods Center for a speech.

This is how lunch is served at Nike: on a basketball court!

This is Joe Torre talking to the group.

Me and Joe.

Next stop was the advanced shoe-research area. This is a picture of Michael Jordan. It’s one continuous line that never overlaps.

Office area.

These guys have a mini factory to ensure that designs can be made on a large scale.

If you want shoe laces, this is the place to come.

There’s a Winnebago in the office as a tribute to the old days when Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight sold shoes out of one.

This is the other side of the Winnebago—in other words, it’s part of a conference room now.

The conference room table has a Winnebago read end under it.

The space has a track to study the running motion.

My buddy Tinker Hatfield. He runs (no pun intended) this research area.
