Nike History
Yes, you have found the premier site for Nike History. This is not a boring site about how thread was developed, but it is an exciting site that shows the Nike History and background of today's fashion styles. Not only can you see how the everyday denim was developed, but you can see the Nike History of today's hottest fashions-Bape, Evisu, Stussy, Klein, Red Monkey, and many, many more.
Nike first originated in 1962, started by Philip H. Knight, a Stanford University business graduate who had been a member of the track team as an undergraduate at the University of Oregon. Traveling in Japan after finishing business school, Knight got in touch with a Japanese firm that made athletic shoes, the Onitsuka Tiger Co., and arranged to import some of its products to the United States on a small scale. Knight was convinced that Japanese running shoes could become significant competitors for the German products that then dominated the American market. Founded as an importer of Japanese shoes, NIKE, Inc. (Nike) has grown to be the world's largest marketer of athletic footwear and apparel. In the course of setting up his agreement with Onitsuka Tiger, Knight invented Blue Ribbon Sports to satisfy his Japanese partner's expectations that he represented an actual company, and this hypothetical firm eventually grew to become Nike, Inc. In the United States, Nike products are sold through over 20,000 retail accounts; worldwide, the company's products are sold in over 110 countries.
