Nike was founded on January 25th,1964. The founders of Nike are Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. Nike was originally called Blue Ribbon Sports. Phil Knight was a track athlete at the University of Oregon and his coach was Bill Bowerman. It was then that they founded Nike.
Nike uses the famous slogan “Just Do It”, but they did not make that famous slogan on their own. It was created when Gary Gilmore was going to be executed for killing two people.
