Nike will be showing its appreciation for police tomorrow with its second annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. At Nike and Converse stores worldwide, law enforcement officers will receive a 30% discount on all products. All you need to do to take advantage of the deal is present your badge or ID at checkout.

So, if you've been eyeing a pair of Air Maxes, Flyknits, or Jordans, now's your chance to jump on them.
