History of Nike post 1

The brand NIKE is named after the Greek goddess for Nike the goddess of victory . A Greek would say, " when we go to battle and we win we say NIKE", synonymous with honored conquest.  NIKE is the twentieth century footwear that lifts the world's greatest athletes to new levels of mastery and achievement. The NIKE swoosh symbol embodies the winged goddess NIKE who inspired the most courageous and chivalrous at the dawn of civilization. The swoosh symbol was designed by Caroline Davidson in 1971 Davidson was a student at Portland State University taking advertising. In spring, 1972 the first shoe with the swoosh symbol on it was introduced. The present day Nike athletic machine started off as a small distributing in the trunk of Phil Knight's trunk. From this Knight's brainchild grew to become the major athletic machine we know today as NIKE!(Nike History)

Nike was originally made for track and running shoes. But today, Nike makes shoes, socks, shirts, shorts, hoodies, glasses and many more. There are many people that favor Nike over any other brand of shoes or sports apparel. In 2014, the company alone was valued at 19 billion dollar which made it the most valuable brand among all other sports apparel businesses. Many people want to work for Nike whether its designing shoes or other athletic apparel or being a salesman for the product. The company does have competition though, who do you think is Nike's biggest competitor? ( Nike history source 2)
