About Nike

Nike's history begins in 1964, when Phil Knight, a track and field athlete, and his coach, Bill Bowerman, founded Blue Ribbon Sports. Their original idea was to import affordable athletic shoes from Japan. In 1971, the company changed its name to Nike, inspired by the goddess of victory in Greek mythology, and introduced the iconic "Swoosh" logo, which was designed by Carolyn Davidson. Nike quickly gained a reputation for innovation and quality of its products, launching its first shoe with the signature Air Sole in 1978. In the 1980s, Nike experienced huge success with the Air Jordan shoe line, collaborating with basketball legend Michael Jordan. Today, Nike is one of the world's leading leaders in athletic apparel and footwear, known for the innovation, technology and style of its products.
