Description

New York Times bestseller. Nike founder Phil Knight offers a revealing look at the man behind the swoosh, tracing Nike’s origin as a bold startup and its rise into one of the world’s most iconic brands. Knight recalls borrowing fifty dollars to start a company that imported high‑quality running shoes from Japan and sold them from the trunk of his car in 1963. Nike’s annual sales would grow to tens of billions. Rather than work for a big corporation, Knight decided to build something of his own—something dynamic, different. He details the terrifying risks, crushing setbacks, ruthless competitors, the countless doubters and hostile bankers—as well as his thrilling triumphs and narrow escapes. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed Nike’s heart: with his former track coach Bill Bowerman and with his first employees, a ragtag group who quickly became a band of swoosh‑crazed brothers. Together, they forged a brand and a culture that changed everything.
