Nike was founded in 1964, and interestingly, the name was inspired by the Greek goddess of victory. However when it first began, there were no men and women Nike watches. The brand was originally known as Blue Ribbon Sports and it imported Japanese brand Onitsuka Tiger running shoes, known today as ASICs, for sale in the United States and comprised of two owners; Oregon running/track coach Bill Bowerman and middle-distance runner Phil Knight. Both believed that the sports industry needed a kind of running shoe that offered comfort, performance and great style.

Jeff Johnson was then appointed in 1965 as the company’s first sales employee. One night, Johnson dreamed of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, and suggested the name to his bosses as a new potential name for the brand. The name brought a lot of creative inspiration and the Swoosh logo trademark was then created by a graphic-design student to go alongside the name. Nike was officially born.

Of course, Nike is a brand that is mostly associated with trainers used specifically for running and when it became renowned during the 80’s, the company really capitalized on the popularity of their products by dressing athletes such as sports stars John McEnroe and Michael Jordan in their clothing collections, which included tennis and basketball attire. In 1988, Nike’s ‘Just Do It’ slogan was introduced and today it remains one of the most iconic, successful and well-known taglines in the world, instantly recognizable as Nike’s. In 1990, the first Nike Town store opened in Portland and the company signed pro golfer Tiger Woods in 1996.
