NIKE

Nike was founded as Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight in 1964 before officially adopting the name Nike Inc. in 1971. Innovations like the Waffle Sole, Air Max cushioning, and the introduction of signature athlete lines (e.g., Air Jordan with Michael Jordan) revolutionized athletic footwear. Nike sneakers encompass a diverse range of styles, materials, and technologies. The silhouette varies across models, from classics like the Air Force 1, Dunk, and Blazer to running shoes like the Air Max and Zoom series.
