FILE–With a pre-production pair of Nike Air shoes in the foreground, Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, gestures during a news conference in Washington on April 9, 1997. An agreement was to be announced Tuesday, June 24, 1997, between Nike and the council in which Nike will apologize to Muslims and recall shoes with a logo that offended Muslims because it resembled the word “Allah” in the Arabic script.
