Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight ?offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously mediashy man behind the swoosh? (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company?s early days as an intrepid startup and its evolution into one of the world?s most iconic, gamechanging, and profitable brands.Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of the year and called it ?an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It?s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do.?Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import highquality, lowcost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike?s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of startups, Knight?s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world.But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last. At twentyfour, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankersas well as his many thrilling triumphs. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swooshcrazed brothers.Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brandand a culturethat changed everything.
