Nike does not report their advertising budget by segment; that is propietary information.\n\nThey only report their budget to their shareholders as one number.\n\nTheir mosr recent 10K from 7/29/2005 says this about their past three years' advertising budgets:\n\n2005: $1,600.7 million\n2004: $1,377.9 millon\n2003: $1,166.8 million

from what i have heard, it wasn't even supposed to be a commercial. they guys with the camera wanted to get ronaldhino's reaction when he got the cleats. it was to their surprise that he got up and hit the crossbar with the ball. from there, it was posted online for people to see at nike.com. then they put it as a commercial.... totally real!

They sign contracts with a particular shoe company. Said company gives them shoes.They wear those shoes. There are many companies making basketball shoes.

He's got his hand in a bunch of business ventures - Michael Jordan Motor Sports, Bullystyle Racing, as well as being a co-executive producer on an animation series based on motorcycle racing.\n\nAlso, he's still got the huge clothing/shoe deal with Nike and he just launched a line of Air Jordan wear for women.\n\nLast but not least, he's a big time gambler - always a big roller.

You might try the library - they keep back issues of magazines.  A bit time consuming, but I can't think of any other surefire way.\n\nYou may think it is a really crappy answer, but look at how many other answers you have received.  NONE.  Obviously the problem is with the question!  Who puts Nike ads on the internet?  Nike would be the only one likely to do so, and I doubt they would use one that old online.  What was it about that particular ad that you wanted if for?

ANSWER AS OF JUNE 24, 2006:\n\nThe Jordan 22 shoes photos are not yet publicized 'round the Net because there's a Jordan 22 contest wherein contestants would try to guess what is the theme of the new pair of 22's.\n\nAnyone who would put any photo of the 22's up on their respective websites will face copyright infringement lawsuits.\nHoller!\n\nSolar Sports TV is airing the Jordan 22 commercial teaser almost every shift. I've seen it, but the shoes were flashed really quick, so good luck =)

Most companies copy because it works.  Branding is one way of marketing.  The most successful company that has branded its product is Coke-A-Cola.   Many know the brand just by the logo.  Nike is another great company that everyone knows the logo.  When you use an advertising company they basically use the same techniques for all their clients.  Is it wrong? Not really.   Another technique is holding a promotion or contest with a service or product.   It gets people to think.  Do you think reality tv was created for fun and entertainment? Wrong. It was created for companies to promote their products.  \n\nIf you go to Adweek there are many ideas for advertising and marketing.  You will be amazed.

Nike does not report its sales by basketball, football, baseball, etc. It only reports one gross figure. The detailed information you are asking for is proprietary and not available to the public. Refer to Nike's 10K filing (available on their Web site) to verify this:\n\nhttp://www.nike.com/nikebiz/investors/annual_report/ar_05/docs/2005_10k.pdf\n\nThe only sport that is reported separately is hockey, and that is because it is a separate company, Bauer Nike Hockey Usa, Inc.\n\nThe 2005 revenue for Nike was $1,211.6 million.

Well, I know that Coca Cola does not need to advertise to sell their product, because it is so well known.  So the only explanation for the huge advertising budget they have is to continue to show the product as cool, and to keep pace with their leading competitor, Pepsi.

If you are starting a sales business or anything that will create a revenue based on a contract, you can get your first contract and bring that to your bank and get a loan equal to that contract amount using it as collateral.  Believe it or not, this is actually how Nike was started.  They made one shoe, not a pair, just one shoe and sold a multi million dollar contract to a sporting goods store.  They brought the executed contract to the bank and got a loan to start the actual company!

I will only answer question 6: Nike would hire a Vietnamese company that pays its labour 12 cents a day for a 16 hr day without any sort of health insurance to manufacture the shoes in small cramped and unsafe factories. Thats business!

They have to look good in front of the 2/3 rd of the world, \nwhy you care about the hair gel anyway\nplus there are millions of dollars business behind every team and every star players. It has to be like a tv ads.

I would guess Nike is a publicly traded company and has shareholders to answer to. Thus shares of stocks.
