Phil Knight
Phil Knight co-founded Nike with his former running coach Bill Bowerman. He led the company as chief executive through 2004 and served as chairman through 2016. Shoe Dog looks back at the earlier, less settled years of that journey, using his relationships with colleagues and family to tell the story behind the familiar brand.
