By Phil Knight

In 1962 Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and started importing Japanese running shoes out of the boot of his car. He called the company Blue Ribbon Sports.

His memoir covers the years before Nike was a certainty: the cheques that bounced, the bank that dropped him, the lawsuit with his Japanese supplier, and the odd collection of people who built it with him. Notably candid about how close it came to failing.
