Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike

Board chairman and founder of Nike, Phil Knight brings us this revealing New York Times bestseller and gives us incredible insight into the media-shy man behind the infamous swoosh. Knight highlights the company’s early days as a start-up and its growth to become one of the most game-changing and iconic brands on this planet that changed sporting culture for good.

Notably one of Bill Gate’s five favourite books of 2016, the story begins with Knight fresh out of business school having to borrow $50 from his father to launch a company with one mission: to import affordable, top-quality running shoes from Japan to sell from the trunk of his car back in 1963. In his first year, Knight grossed $8,000. Today, Nike’s annual sales are in excess of $30 billion.

In Shoe Dog, we finally discover Knight’s mysterious story and how he got to be where he is today.
