Fittingly named after the Greek goddess of victory, Nike is the world's leading supplier of athletic gear. Created in 1972, Nike was the brainchild of Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, a University of Oregon track coach and his star runner, respectively. Their goal was to create shoes and apparel that would inspire athletes to reach their true potential, and their little company eventually grew into a global powerhouse that is unrivaled throughout the world.
