About Nike

All Nike

Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman founded the company in Portland, Oregon, on 25 January 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports, importing Onitsuka Tiger running shoes. The Nike name and the Swoosh arrived in 1971. Nike first came to India in 1995 through a licensee, and now sells through nike.in, brand stores and authorised marketplace storefronts.
