For @Oregonian and @propublica: Nike says most workers in its contract factories make nearly double the minimum wage. In Indonesia, workers told me they made the minimum wage, or a little bit more.

An extraordinary story from @matthewkish about @WiedenKennedy (and @Nike by extension) legend, the the late Jim Riswold. I hope y'all can get past the @Oregonian paywall because Jim was a one-of-a-kind mind, marketer and human. #JustDoIt

An anonymous source tells me the chances of Tiger Woods parting ways with #Nike is greater than ever. The most likely landing spot for Tiger is @on_running in a deal that would see Tiger take an equity stake. Roger Federer left Nike for an equity deal with @on_running in 2018. 👀
