What was their first shoe?
Nike's first pair of running shoes was inspired by waffles. I know Waffles!!!!! Nike co - founder Bill Bowerman was having waffles for breakfast one morning. Then it occurred to him that then waffle would make a good track on the sole of the shoe. Bowerman was a track and field coach and had been searching for a good light sole. The mold inspired Nike's first shoes called the Waffle Trainer which came out in 1974.
How they started
The Nike swoosh logo was made by Caroline Davidson in 1971. The name Nike is from the god Nike who sits next to Zeus at Mount Olympus. Nike all started with Phil Knight and his coach Bill Bowerman at student at the University of Oregon. Phil Knight takes a tour around the world and then he finds the Oniksuka Tiger shoes from Kobe, Japan. He then starts his own company called Blue Ribbon Sports. Then in 1972 the company name was changed to Nike.
