Here's what Nike has to say about that:
"Nike is interested in progress and improvements in the fields in which it operates. In order to implement this policy, we maintain an extensive research and development program and employ a large number of scientists and technical people.
Nike only considers unsolicited ideas that are patented or, under certain conditions, described in a filed patent application. Nike does not accept unsolicited advertising or marketing proposals of any kind.
Please do not send sketches, prototypes, documents submitted under the Patent Office disclosure program or any other non-patent or non-patent application information. We will return them to you without review. Idea submissions sent via e-mail will be deleted from Nike's system.
If you would like information on patenting your idea, we suggest you consult a patent attorney for assistance. If you already have a patent, please call Nike at (503) 671-5727 for further information or if you would like to request a copy of the guidelines and agreement, please send your name and mailing address to:

Hope that helps!

First, patent and/or trademark your idea! Secondly, since their so big, you may want to get someone like a lawyer or sales rep who is already doing or has done business with Nike. You can find all the help you need or a referral at places like the Sporting Goods Convention/Trade Show, or MAGIC, etc. Bottom line, do your homework first which you're doing now and don't forget my first suggestion, patent and/or trademark your idea or product!

without trying to burst your bubble, Nike is not a fly by night organization. If you really want a chance of being heard, get an agent or lawyer who specializes in new product enhancement. By the way, Nike's headquarters are located in Beaverton, Oregon...... good luck to you

Just go ahead and mail them to them. If they like them, they will use them.
What, you wanted to be PAID for them....?
