In 1962, Fresh Out Of Business School, Phil Knight Borrowed $50 From His Father And Created A Company With A Simple Mission: Import High-Quality, Low-Cost Athletic Shoes From Japan. Selling The Shoes From The Trunk Of His Lime Green Plymouth Valiant, Knight Grossed $8,000 His First Year. Today, Nike'S Annual Sales Top $30 Billion. In An Age Of Startups, Nike Is The Ne Plus Ultra Of All Startups, And The Swoosh Has Become A Revolutionary, Globe-Spanning Icon, One Of The Most Ubiquitous And Recognizable Symbols In The World Today.

Knight Details The Many Risks And Daunting Setbacks That Stood Between Him And His Dream-Along With His Early Triumphs. Above All, He Recalls The Formative Relationships With His First Partners And Employees, A Ragtag Group Of Misfits And Seekers Who Became A Tight-Knit Band Of Brothers. Together, Harnessing The Transcendent Power Of A Shared Mission, And A Deep Belief In The Spirit Of Sport, They Built A Brand That Changed Everything.
