Nike

Founded in 1963 by University of Oregon runner Phil Knight and coach Bill Bowerman, Nike began as an importer of Onitsuka Tiger sneakers before launching its own designs in 1970. Bowerman’s waffle outsole and the introduction of Nike Air cushioning in 1979 set the foundation for icons like the Air Force 1 and the brand’s 1984 partnership with Michael Jordan, cementing Nike’s place in sport and culture. Today, Nike remains a dominant force across performance and streetwear, pairing technical innovation with influential collaborations from Supreme to Comme des Garçons.
