The history of Nike – from Blue Ribbon Sports to global brand
Nike was founded in 1964 under the name Blue Ribbon Sports by runner Phil Knight and coach Bill Bowerman. Blue Ribbon Sports started as a small company importing running shoes from Japan to the USA, but the ambition was quickly to develop better sports shoes for runners.
Bowerman constantly experimented with design and functionality. One of his best-known experiments involved molding a rubber sole in a waffle iron to create better traction for running shoes. This innovation marked the beginning of the development of modern Nike running shoes.
In 1971, the company changed its name to Nike – the name Nike was inspired by the Greek goddess of victory. At the same time, the iconic Swoosh logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson for just 35 dollars.
During the 1970s, the Nike brand grew quickly and became a central part of the world of sport. Models such as Nike Cortez made Nike sneakers popular among both runners and athletes.
The collaboration with Michael Jordan in the 1980s made Nike a cultural phenomenon and laid the foundation for modern sneaker culture. Today, Nike also owns Air Jordan, which is a central part of both basketball and streetwear.
Today, Nike Inc. is the world's largest manufacturer of sports shoes and an established part of sport, streetwear, and global fashion – also in Europe.
Innovation and design – the core of Nike shoes
Technological breakthroughs
Innovation is a central part of the brand's development. Several technologies have been crucial to the development of Nike sneakers:
- Nike Air – air cushioning in the sole that improves comfort and shock absorption
-
Nike Air Max – sneakers with visible air cushioning and iconic design
- Flyknit – a lightweight and flexible material with a close fit
- React – midsole technology with high energy return
The visible Air unit in Nike Air Max was developed by designer Tinker Hatfield and revolutionized sneaker design. The Air Max window made the technology visible and created an iconic design that still defines Nike sneakers today.
Sustainability – Move to Zero
Nike is also actively working on sustainability through the Move to Zero initiative, which aims to reduce waste and CO₂ in production.
Programs such as Nike Grind recycle old sneakers into new products and sports surfaces. In newer collections, recycled materials are increasingly used in both sneakers and clothing.
