 as Trustee 
 SECOND
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 Dated as of October 29, 2015 

$1,000,000,000 of 3.875% Notes due 2045 

 THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) is
dated as of October 29, 2015 between NIKE, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 

RECITALS 
 A. The Company and the
Trustee executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of April 26, 2013 (the “Base Indenture” and, as supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by the
Company from time to time of senior debt securities evidencing its unsecured indebtedness. 
 B. Pursuant to a Board Resolution and set
forth in an Officer’s Certificate, the Company has authorized the issuance of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Notes due 2045 (the “Notes”). 

C. The entry into this Second Supplemental Indenture by the parties hereto is in all respects authorized by the provisions of the Base
Indenture. 
 D. The Company desires to enter into this Second Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture to
establish the terms of the Notes in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture and to establish the form of the Notes in accordance with Sections 2.01(a)(11) and 2.02 of the Base Indenture. 

E. All things necessary to make this Second Supplemental Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement according to its terms have been
done. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the
equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders from time to time of the Notes as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

Section 1.1 Terms of the Notes. 
 The
following terms relate to the Notes: 
 (1) The Notes shall constitute a series of Securities having the title “3.875% Notes due
2045.” 
 (2) The aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Initial Notes”) that may be initially authenticated
and delivered under the Indenture shall be $1,000,000,000. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes (in 

 
any such case “Additional Notes”) having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Initial Notes. Any Additional Notes and the Initial Notes
shall each constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the Notes shall include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes, unless the context otherwise requires; provided that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with
the Initial Notes, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. The aggregate principal amount of each of the Additional Notes shall be unlimited. 

(3) The entire Outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on November 1, 2045. 

(4) The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 3.875% per year. The date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes
shall be the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from October 29, 2015. The Interest Payment Dates for the Notes shall be May 1 and November 1 of each
year, beginning May 1, 2016. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to the Holders of record at the close of business on the April 15 and October 15 prior to each Interest Payment Date (in connection with the Notes, a
“regular record date”). The basis upon which interest shall be calculated shall be that of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. All dollar amounts resulting from the calculation of interest shall be rounded to the
nearest cent. 
 (5) The Notes shall be issuable in whole in the form of one or more registered Global Securities, and the Depository for
such Global Securities shall be The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York. The Notes shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are herein incorporated by reference. The Notes shall be issuable in
denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (6) The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company
prior to the Stated Maturity, as provided in Section 1.3 of this Second Supplemental Indenture. 
 (7) The Notes will not have the
benefit of any sinking fund. 
 (8) Except as provided herein, the Holders of the Notes shall have no special rights in addition to those
provided in the Base Indenture upon the occurrence of any particular events. 
 (9) The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the
Company and will rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and among themselves. 

(10) The Notes are not convertible into shares of common stock or other securities of the Company. 

 Section 1.2 Additional Defined Terms. 

As used herein, the following defined terms shall have the following meanings with respect to the Notes only: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having
an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed, calculated as if the Stated Maturity of such Notes was the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”), that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes being redeemed. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date, (1) the arithmetic average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Optional Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (2) if the Company obtains three or fewer Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic
average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Optional Redemption Date, or (3) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation. 

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, or their respective successors, as may be
appointed from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute another
primary treasury dealer. 
 “Optional Redemption Date” when used with respect to any Note to be redeemed at the
Company’s option, means the date fixed for such redemption by or pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Second Supplemental Indenture. 

“Optional Redemption Price” when used with respect to any Note to be redeemed at the Company’s option, means the price
at which it is to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Second Supplemental Indenture. 
 “Par Call Date” means
May 1, 2045. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and each of their respective successors and any other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Optional Redemption
Date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury
Dealer as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Optional Redemption Date. 

 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Note to be redeemed,
the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related Optional Redemption Date but for such redemption as if such Note matured on the Par Call Date; provided, however, that, if such
Optional Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Optional Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding that Optional Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue. In determining this rate, the Company will assume a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as
a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Optional Redemption Date. 
 Section 1.3 Optional Redemption.

 (a) The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture, as amended by the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture, shall apply
to the Notes with respect to this Section 1.3. 
 (b) The Notes shall be redeemable, in each case, in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, at the Company’s option. Upon redemption of the Notes prior to the Par Call Date, the Company shall pay an Optional Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 

(i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and 

(ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of the Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the Optional Redemption
Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, 

plus, in addition to such Optional Redemption Price, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date. 

(c) Upon redemption of the Notes on or after the Par Call Date, the Company shall pay an Optional Redemption Price equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Optional Redemption Date shall be payable
on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Securityholders of such Notes registered as such at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to the Notes and the Indenture. 

 (d) On and after the Optional Redemption Date for the Notes, interest shall cease to accrue on
the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any. On or before 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Optional Redemption Date for the
Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent, funds sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Optional Redemption Date, and (except if the date fixed for redemption shall be an Interest
Payment Date) accrued interest, if any. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes shall be redeemed in accordance with Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture. 

(e) Notice of any redemption shall be delivered at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Optional Redemption Date to each Holder
of the Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Trustee of the Optional Redemption Date at least 5 Business Days prior to the date of the giving of such notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee). Such notice shall be provided in accordance with Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture. If the Optional Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual Optional Redemption Price, calculated as
described above in clause (b), shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Optional Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as
provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall, on the Optional Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Optional Redemption Price, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date.

 (f) Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. Any
such conditions shall be described in the applicable notice of redemption, and if any condition precedent with respect to the Notes to be redeemed is not satisfied, the redemption notice will be of no effect and the Company will not be obligated to
redeem such Notes. 
 Section 1.4 Limitation on Suits. 

Solely with respect to the Notes, Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated in its entirety by inserting the
following in lieu thereof: 
 “Section 6.04. Limitation on Suits. 

No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or such Security or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to
the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default; (ii) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed

 
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and (v) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding do not give the Trustee
a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any holder of any
Security to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder. By accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended
and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by
availing of any provision of this Indenture or such Securities to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to
enforce any right under this Indenture or such Securities, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of such series, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no
responsibility to determine if any action or inaction by a holder is prejudicial to the other holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.04, each Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such
relief as can be given either at law or in equity.”

 (Reverse of Note) 

NIKE, Inc. 
 3.875%
Notes due 2045 
 This security is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of NIKE, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the
“Company”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture for the Company’s senior debt securities, dated as of April 26, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), duly executed and
delivered by and between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 29, 2015 (the “Second Supplemental
Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” By the terms of the Base Indenture, the debt
securities issuable thereunder are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Base Indenture. This security is one of the series designated on the face hereof
(individually, a “Security,” and collectively, the “Securities”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the
Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities (the “Securityholders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Base Indenture or the Second Supplemental Indenture,
as applicable. 
 1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at an annual rate of
3.875%. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year (each such day, an “Interest Payment Date”). If any Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity of this Security is
not a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the period
after such date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of
issuance; provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a regular record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 1, 2016. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. All dollar amounts
resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent. 
 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the
Securities, if any, to the Persons in whose name such Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Security for such interest installment. In the event that the Securities or a
portion thereof are called for redemption and the Optional Redemption Date is 

  
 A-4 

 
subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Securities will instead be paid upon presentation and
surrender of such Securities as provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on the Securities shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at
the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the Indenture. If any of the Notes are no longer represented by a Global Security, payment of interest on certificated Notes in definitive form may, at the option of
Company, be made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or (ii) upon request of any Holder of at least $5,000,000 principal amount of Securities, wire

the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 7. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Securityholder may be treated as its owner for
all purposes. 
 8. Repayment to the Company. Any funds or Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee,
or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holders of such Securities for at least two years after the
date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall, upon request of the Company, be repaid to the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company, as applicable, for payment as unsecured general creditors. 

9. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on
behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 10. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the securities of
a series issued pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture occurs and is continuing (other than certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company), the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if notice is given by such holders), may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable
immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities will become and be immediately due and payable. Subject to
the terms of the Indenture, if an Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to 

  
 A-6 

 
exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders have offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it. Upon
satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding securities of a series issued pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture will have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the securities of such series. 

11. Trustee, Paying Agent and Security Registrar May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA,
or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar. 

12. No Recourse Against Others. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture, or of any Security,
or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect hereof or thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either
directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that the
Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder and thereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers or directors as
such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the
Indenture or in the Securities or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every
such incorporator, stockholder, officer or director as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or in the Securities
or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the acceptance of the Securities.
