Founder of Nike
Phil knight and Bill Ballman founded Nike.

Nike can be traced back to 1958. At that time, phil knight, the founder of Nike, was only a member of the track and field team of Oregon State University. During practice, he often complained to coach Bill Ballman that the United States has never produced a really good pair of sports shoes. Phil knight majored in accounting and returned to teach in Portland after graduation.

1964, phil knight and his coach, Bill Ballman, each invested $500 to set up a sports shoes company called Nike, which comes from Greek and means "victory". At the same time, they also invented a unique logo Swoosh (meaning "whoosh"), which is extremely eye-catching and unique. Every product of Nike has this logo. In short, Swoosh is the symbol of Nike.
