Details: In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight “offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh” (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his 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.
Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of the year and called it “an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do.”
Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight’s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world.
But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last. At twenty-four, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankers—as well as his many thrilling triumphs. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers.
Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brand—and a culture—that changed everything.

from 270 reviewsMy head is on the smaller side so it’s a struggle to find hats that fit the way I’d like them to. Shells is a game changer! I’ll be rockin’ The Cunningham while I watch my Birds win the Super Bowl!!! GO BIRDS!!!

I've been searching for some vintage-style hats for a while. Finally stumbled upon these and they're perfect. It’s a great design, excellent quality, and comfortable. 5/5 great hats and can't wait to see what they release next.

Great design and comfort. Excellent quality 👍🏼

Great quality and shipping

Ordered this hat and was worried about the top/crown structure, since some snapbacks tend to be too tall for me. I love that it’s not too tall and has flexibility. Awesome design! Go Ravens!!!

Great quality. Customer care was very kind and helpful. This was a preorder item and they kept me up to date on the latest expected delivery date. Definitely worth the wait

The hat is really nice! The fit is perfect and has a cool design

Love the Strawberry snapback I bought. Speedy shipping, hat arrived in mint condition. Will definitely be purchasing more from my man Shells!

Well packaged and on time best purchase thank you so much shells vintage inc.
