Nike C1TY

Birth Of An Icon
Nike has always been aligned with the biggest stars in the world. From basketball star Michael Jordan to Marty McFly from Back to the Future, Nike has always had star power. Its biggest star may just be its co-founder, Phil Knight.
Knight hustled his ass off to get his Nike products to the world. Believe it or not he once sold pairs of the sneakers out of the trunk of his car.
Phil Knight was born on February 28th, 1938, in Portland, Oregon. Knight had a love for running since his youth.
He attended the University of Oregon and while there he was a middle-distance runner. Knight wanted to make a better sneaker than the ones that were available to athletes at that time. After he graduated from college, he sought the advice of his track and field coach at Oregon, Bill Bowerman.
Knight knew that Bowerman would have valuable advice when it came to building a sneaker that perfectly met the needs of a runner. Knight and Bowerman worked so well together that they decided to become partners.
They sealed their partnership with a handshake. The trademarked swoosh was designed by a college student and the first shoes were made inside a waffle iron. Despite the lofty status it holds in our culture today, Nike began quite humbly.
