FAQs

When did Nike start?

The birth of this iconic brand can be traced back to 1964, when it began its epic journey as Blue Ribbons Sports, headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon. Bill Bowerman, track-and-field coach at the University of Oregon, and his former student Phil Knight started by distributing shoes. But a couple of years later, they decided to manufacture sneakers themselves to better drive the performance of athletes — and Nike was born. 

Nike is named after the Greek goddess of victory, and its swoosh logo is said to represent her wings. Phil Knight wanted the brand to be fluid and evocative elements of motion and speed. Nike is a celebration of sports, self-empowerment and consistent high-performance. The brand focuses on delivery durability, quality and innovation, which has helped make Nike shoes and clothing the juggernaut it is today.

Endorsed by easily recognisable athletes such as Micahel Jordan, Tiger Woods and Roger Federer, Nike has turned itself into a household name that holds powerful brand equity. One of the first shoes Nike launched was the “Moon Shoe”, which had a waffle sole said to have been made using an actual waffle iron. The new sole was designed to be lightweight and possess the right amount of grip to allow for easy and free movement. Today, its classic range of athletic footwear, gear, equipment, and accessories is loved among fitness enthusiasts and style-setters.

Are Nike shoes comfortable?

Nike remains committed to designing shoes that are comfortable, durable and trendy. You can slip on a pair of Nikes straight from the box without the pain of the dreaded “new shoe bite”. Nike developed its range of trendy kicks by studying the movement of top athletes to create Nike sneakers that will respond and adapt to any playing style and industry and fashion-leading design that will help you walk out onto the court confidently. The result is an uber-cool, swanky pair of kicks that you can wear effortlessly straight from the court into the streets.
