In just one quarter, we delivered both footwear and apparel platforms with deep insights that leverage years of scientific research from our labs, owned IP, and advanced manufacturing. Our new NIKE MIND platform, with over 150 patents filed globally, was the highlight of the quarter. Designed to help athletes clear away distractions pre- and post-competition, the MIND won.
