Phil Knight graduated from business school in 1962. Soon after, he borrowed 50 USD from his father and used that money to set up his own small company. It had a very simple and impressive mission which was about importing high-quality athletic footwear at a very low cost from Japan. He started selling those shoes from the hood of his car.

In the first year, he made 8,000 USD as his gross income. As per the latest reports, Nike is now a brand worth 30 billion USD if sakes every year. In the era of startups, the Nike brand proved itself to be the ne plus ultra of the start-ups out there. In no time, it became a revolutionary and iconic brand with its footprint all over the world. It has become one of the most recognized symbols all across the world, not just in the sporting industry but beyond as well

But Phil Knight himself remained a mystery always. But, in this memoir, he candidly revealed a lot of things while telling his inspiring story right from the beginning. He also shared a lot of risks that stood in between his way and his dreams.

Shoe Dog is a riveting and candid memoir of Phil Knight, the founder, and CEO of Nike. He has opened up so much about his personal life and career for the very first time in this memoir.
