Shoe Dog is the powerful and candid memoir of Phil Knight, the entrepreneur behind the global sports giant Nike. In 1962, after graduating from business school, Knight borrowed $50 from his father with a bold idea: to import high-quality, affordable running shoes from Japan. Selling shoes from the trunk of his Plymouth car, he began what would eventually become one of the most recognizable brands in the world.
In this compelling autobiography, Knight shares the challenges, risks, and personal sacrifices involved in building Nike from the ground up. He offers readers an honest look into the company’s early struggles with finances, competition, manufacturing, and leadership, while highlighting the passion and teamwork that fueled its growth.
Filled with inspiring lessons on perseverance, innovation, and entrepreneurship, Shoe Dog is more than a business story—it is a deeply human account of ambition, resilience, and believing in a dream even when success seems uncertain.
