OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss' Pete Boone is among a group of college athletics directors traveling to Asia this week on a 10-day Nike tour of the company's overseas facilities.

The ADs will have the opportunity to view factories, have dialog with management and observe employee working environments.

"For the past eight years, Nike has organized excursions to visit manufacturing facilities of overseas plants that produce their products," said Boone. "The Nike organization is proud of the positive economic and personal impact these facilities have made to local regions and individuals.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to not only view these facilities but also capture the unique cultural environments in each of the locations in which we travel."

Making his first trip to Asia, Boone departs the U.S. Thursday en route to Hong Kong. Other stops along the tour include Ho Chi Minh, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing before returning on Jan. 24.

Boone will be providing updates on his journey through a blog on OleMissSports.com.
