Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike

“Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.�
Nike is one of the most well-known brands in the world. Some think its outsourcing business strategy is brilliant, while others think it's contentious. Nike is a brand that everyone knows, or at least we think they do.
Phil Knight, the author and founder of the company, tells an unexpectedly gripping story. The book's chapters are divided by year, and it spends a lot of time on the company's first ten years. Knight is able to depict the terror and frustration that comes with living on the edge year after year, even as his firm grows.
The book is unexpectedly enjoyable to read - well written and intriguing - and is not your standard entrepreneurship story, aimed primarily at young individuals seeking inspiration or others of a similar nature. It focuses primarily on the early days of Blue Ribbon / Nike (the early 70s).

Glad you liked it. As a runner, the memories of his 20s have a lot of personal attachment to me
