Sure, he believed in his brand so much that nothing could have stopped him but he also had an amazing group who did everything they could to help him execute his dream.
A key takeaway to underscore: he paid $35 to a student at a local university for a logo. I always tell my clients & partners that there's amazing talent at universities. Students are anxious to apply their budding skills, knowledge, perspective, and talents to get valuable, real world experience (outside of internships). Yet, their talents remain underutilized.

They didn’t have any money at the time and that was all they could pay. When the company went public, they gave the designer shares of the company that is Equivalent to $1m. You are right though, there are many talent at the university.

I am currently reading "Shoe Dog" and the only thing I got to say is that the book is a masterpiece at showing us how a normal guy from Portland became to be one of the richest and most successful humans alive. Unlike most successful people that will go on telling others about how special they are, Phil Knight tells us his whole story that starts with him struggling to keep his company "Blue Ribbon Sports" alive and ends with the actual company we know today as Nike. He shows us that the path to success isn't as easy as some think and that you will probably have to deal with a lot of problems to achieve what you want. He's a champion that dealt with so many problems when his company started out like the lawsuit that Onitsuka filed against Blue Ribbon, the competitors he faced, and even the banks that wouldn't lend him money. I believe that his book is a must-read for anyone that aspires to be successful.

Nice story of Phil Knight the founder of Nike. Few people succeed without help in life, Phil Knight received help from Japanese shoe businessman Onitsuka and track and field coach Bill Bowerman. The signing of Basketball superstar michael Jordan and the creation of the Nike Air Jordan line turned nike into a billion dollar corporations.
Phil tells of much more complicated and a 13 year struggle in his book than described in this audio. Steve Prefontaine was vitally important in the track world and Bowemann created his shoe - the waffle shoe.
Oh my I admire his down to earth character and swallowing of pride, he asked his first employee to name to name the brand...NIKE , later outsourced the logo to a university student. ..thus awsome, no wonder Nike sprung up in business. ...go Phil
You know, mass production of SHABU from CHINA, with proper management of your govt. ,and killing your business competitors in Philippines is a great job of yours...!!!😂
Nike would have not be without MJ , Nike was Underamour status going down at that era while converse and Adidas was on top of the shoe game with magic and bird etc The game changer was NIke made a deal with the Future of Basketball & Sports that is MJ, never was an athlete that has the charm and very competitive edge who brought basketball and being athlete to the world, combine with most of all very low cost mass production of shoe. So That's how you build a multi-billion dollar company Boom !
The difference between people that make it and don't.... Is a belief in yourself! How many people honestly would have stuck around for YEARS with not profits.
Phil Knight didn't just stumble onto Onitsuka. He was introduced by a man named Frank Endo who at the time was importing Onitsuka gymnastics shoes to America. Mr. Endo told me that the first Nike logo was half an arrow. But it was difficult for the sewers to sew the right angles. He said he recommended curves instead of angles and drew a picture of a half arrow into the swoosh. I asked him, are you telling me that you actually invented the Nike logo? He just smiled. I didn't know how to share this story until just watching this video.
The original drawing he got from the student at Oregon is on display in the Jaqua Academic Center on campus in Eugene, OR along with the first pair of Nike shoes and the shoes Steve Prefontaine used to break 4 minutes. It was the swoosh.
NIke and Reebok were both equally desirable brands and then Air Jordan's crushed Reebok. Reebok tried to respond with their Pump boots but couldn't match in popularity.
My recommendation to everyone is to read the book! it's not just another autobiography. It 's one heck of a journey with travel, highs, lows, love, heartbreak, trouble and a fucking roller coaster ride. Thoroughly enjoyed the book!
1:10 I can't believe that's how you pronounce Adidas. Absolutely life shattering. Great video quality too, the only good one I can find on Phil Knight after reading Shoe Dog! Subbed :) With that said, here are the proper Japanese pronunciations: Kobe: ko-BAY Onitsuka: o-NI-tska
Nike was already big prior to Jordan's entry to the NBA. The only thing MJ should be given credit for is the fact that HE WAS THE ONE WHO CAUSED NIKE TO DOMINATE THE NBA. But let's be honest here. Mike is not the main cause of Nike's rise to dominance.

It's starts off pretty tight, then quickly falls to a weird superficial mess. It's quite badly-(ghost)written, and you finish thinking you just got told a rambling, semi-pointless story as a diversion to the real history. Apart from mad respect for Bowerman, I was mainly left with the sense that Phil is a dick of a human being. IMO, of course.
It was all Bill Bowerman, he was the guy in a position of influence. Pretty much like an influencer selling things today. It is going to work if you already have a name for yourself.
That One Man is Michael Jordan, Nike NEEDED him. It was in 1984 that Nike's popularity grew when Michael Jordan started endorsing Nike. Phil Knight owned Nike, but MJ made Nike. They just became popular bc of MJ and people only bought the shoes because of MJ, everyone wanted to be like Mike. The shoes that the people bought was the shoes with the Jordan logo not with the Nike logo.
Would have never guessed that Nike shoes originated in Japan. I know they had a contract but kinda surprised Japan didn’t sue for taking their designs, modifying it, and selling it under a different name.
Remember when Nike had more than the same 10 sneakers models????? Now they release one new color of a model they have had for years and they make a big deal about it!. I'd say the most innovative years for Nike and the sneaker industry were between the years 1987-1991. Just look at the shoe store catalogs at that time, and even look at Nike's catalogue at that time...there was A LOT more innovation and A LOT more variety.
@@rileylong7427 Today, MJ pretty much has final say, his own building, and his own designers on campus. He does have creative say. Designers interpret.
Onitsuka became Asics. Still developing very good running shoes, continues to innovate unlike Nike who spends more time and money on marketing their shoes. At that rate, Nike might run out of ideas and probably reverse engineer an Asics shoe again like they did many years ago.
It’s quite poorly done: for example, he didn’t just go to Portland state university to find a graphic designer, but found her while working as a professor at the university. She did a few posters before the logo
Very well put together as promo for Nike. According to the book, Born to Run, there is another side to this story which has been conveniently missed. Did they really create the shoes on their own, or were they created by someone else?
