Phil Knight

Phil Knight is the co-founder and former CEO of Nike, Inc., one of the world's most recognizable and valuable brands. Born in Portland, Oregon, Knight's journey began with a simple idea: to import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. This idea, fueled by a $50 loan from his father, eventually blossomed into the global athletic powerhouse known as Nike. Shoe Dog is Knight's candid and deeply personal memoir, offering an unprecedented look at the early struggles, near-death experiences, and ultimate triumph of building the company from the ground up. Knight's story is a testament to the power of relentless passion, resilience, and the belief in a seemingly impossible dream.
