Nike’s world headquarters is located in Oregon.
The campus is in Beaverton, a city in the Portland metropolitan area. Nike’s Oregon base reflects the company’s deep connection to the state: co-founder Bill Bowerman coached at the University of Oregon, and Phil Knight was one of his athletes there.
Nike’s headquarters campus contains offices, athletic facilities, product-development spaces, and buildings named after influential athletes and figures associated with the company. The campus is commonly described as Nike World Headquarters or WHQ.
The location can cause confusion because Nike operates globally and has major offices, stores, and facilities in many countries. Its corporate headquarters, however, remain in Beaverton, Oregon, near the company’s original Pacific Northwest roots.
