00:00In 1962, a young man named Phil Knight had an idea during a class project at Stanford.

00:07What if high-quality running shoes could be made cheaper in Japan and sold in America?

00:13That idea became his obsession. He borrowed $500 from his father and started importing

00:20shoes under the name Blue Ribbon Sports. The first sales happened from the trunk

00:24of his car at local track meets. His partner, Bill Bowerman, a track coach, wanted to make

00:30runners faster. One morning, he poured rubber into his wife's waffle iron and created the

00:36first prototype of Nike's legendary waffle sole. By 1971, their relationship with their

00:42Japanese supplier ended. They needed a new name, a new logo, and a new identity.

00:48A student designed the swoosh for $35. The name Nike, inspired by the Greek goddess

00:54of victory, was born.

00:56But success didn't come easy. Cash flow was tight. Banks refused loans. Phil mortgaged

01:02everything to keep the dream alive. Every dollar went back into building better shoes.

01:08Then came the turning point. Michael Jordan, Air Jordan, and the explosion of sneaker culture.

01:14Nike wasn't just selling shoes anymore. It was selling ambition, performance, and attitude.

01:21From a college project to a global empire, Nike proved that vision and grit can outrun luck.
