Nike Company was set up in 1964 by the trackandfield athlete Phillip Knight who was struggling out a way to earn his own life. This company was originally called by the name of "Blue Ribbon Sports" and its first business began by introducing Tiger Running shoes from the Onitsuka Company in Japan.

By the year of 1971, the volume of business in Blue Ribbon Sports has reached over a million dollars. Therefore, the company prepared to design its own shoes. The first shoes made by this company was "Nike" shoes. The name "Nike" was inspired by the Greek goddess of victory. On these shoes, the famous Nike's trademark "swoosh" was marked as the feature. This "swoosh" was designed by Carolyn Davidson. At first, Knight was not interested in this symbol. In his words, he didn't love it, but it would grow on him. This seems funny.
The first selfdesigned Nike shoes were the Wafflesoled Moon shoes which was introduced in 1972. Bowerman was inspired by the household waffle iron when he tired to design a new sole which was able to get better grip on urethane tracks and then he made it. In addition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], other innovations were also designed out by Nike Company. for example, a Nylontopped Running shoe, and a cushioned midsole. It is worth mentioning that the overall length of the shoe can be covered by the cushioned midsole.
Blue Ribbon Sport Sales altered its name to Nike in 1978 and its sales increased at a surprising speed and reached to 270 million dollars. By 1980, half the running and sports shoes market had been full of Nike shoes. Also in 1980, Nike shoes were wellknown. In order to make it obtain more popularity, Nike Company invited many popular and promising athletes to endorse its shoes..
