'NIKE- for Sports' has always been a popular universal mantra for sports lovers all over the world. Founded by the University of Oregon track athlete Phil Knight and his coach Bill Bowerman in Beaverton, Oregon, the Nike athletic machine began as a small distributing outfit located in the trunk of Phil Knight's car. From these rather inauspicious beginnings, Knight's brainchild grew to become the shoe and athletic company that would come to define many aspects of popular culture and myriad varieties of 'cool'.
The company's first shoe was based on Bowerman's waffle outsole that was made with a waffle iron. Today Nike is the world's leading designer, marketer and distributor of authentic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories for a wide variety of sports and fitness activities.
Nike creates a wide variety of products for the sports lifestyle. Made for both on and off the field uses Nike has a lot to offer. With Nike shoes, Nike clothing, Nike bags, Nike watches, Nike socks, to Nike sunglasses you've got all angles covered.
By 1980, Nike had reached a 50% market share in the United States athletic shoe market, and the company went public in December of that year. Today, Nike is a four billion dollar business that has had its ups and downs.
Nike has always been at the front of technical breakthroughs, whether it is from Bill Bowerman's wife's waffle iron outsole, the revolutionary Nike Pegasus, to Nike Air technology. Off late, Nike has come up with a lot of newly launched innovative designs like the Nike Air, Nike Shox to the latest Nike+ technologies.
Many high profile athletes have been chosen as the leading brand ambassadors for these shoe giants, be it Rafeal Nadal,Maria Sharapova, Christiano Ronaldo or Lebron James .As a matter of fact it has a special limited edition designed and autographed by the stars themselves, for instance the personally designed Lebron as well as the Sharapova collection.
