One of the world’s most influential business executives, Phil Knight is the founder of NIKE, Inc. He served as CEO of the company from 1964 to 2004 and continues to this day as Board Chairman. He lives in Oregon with his wife Penny.
In this candid and riveting memoir, for the first time ever, Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight shares the inside story of the company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands.
In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his lime green Plymouth Valiant, Knight grossed $8,000 his first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of startups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all startups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognizable symbols in the world today.
But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always remained a mystery. Now, for the first time, in a memoir that is candid, humble, gutsy, and wry, he tells his story, beginning with his crossroads moment. At 24, after backpacking around the world, he decided to take the unconventional path, to start his own business—a business that would be dynamic, different.
Knight details the many risks and daunting setbacks that stood between him and his dream—along with his early triumphs. Above all, he recalls the formative relationships with his first partners and employees, a ragtag group of misfits and seekers who became a tight-knit band of brothers. Together, harnessing the transcendent power of a shared mission, and a deep belief in the spirit of sport, they built a brand that changed everything.
经朋友推荐,花了一周时间终于啃下了这本书。我一向对自传书不是很感冒,而这本书却远远超过了我的预期。甚至硬生生地让我对Nike路转粉! 这本厚厚的自传,满满都是真诚和随意的笔触。最难得的是,你能发现他几乎是不带有任何美化的态度去面对自己走过的路。一大堆错误和失败就...
评分记得一开听说这本书的时候,说是一本自传,当时就觉得这是本成功创业者的励志洗脑书,就像历史总是赢家书写的一样,要是不成功哪里来自传,当时非常不愿意被灌这口鸡汤。 后来,在大家的推荐下抱着撒点毒鸡汤的心态看完了这本书,看着看着,发现并不是像当时所想的那样无趣...

评分 评分its like reading a novel, but in a very genuine way, it makes me laugh and makes me cry.
评分上班路上听到Phil Knight说二儿子出生,自己第一反应是有了a pair of sons的时候直接笑出声来,真真是shoe dog.
评分写得太感人了,一点架子也没有,发自内心,最后我看哭了
评分耐克创始人回忆录,一群shoe dogs的坚持成就了今日的耐克。耐克前18年是跌宕起伏的18年,与鬼冢虎的恩恩怨怨,与银行的博弈现金流的枯竭,甚至遇到政治阻力,精彩纷呈。1962年,奈特先生去日本Kobe(神户)与鬼冢株式会社谈判代理Tiger牌运动鞋事宜,后来科比和老虎都成为耐克最具影响力的代言人,冥冥之中有天意
评分看巴菲特 2016 年的 Annual Letter to Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders,末尾力荐了这本 Shoe Dog。读下来,创业初期欺骗日本公司的行为,面临各种问题时的纠结无助,甚至泡自己老婆的过程,都写地很清楚。少见的感觉诚恳的自传。
