Nike is a word almost everyone knows. They have produced sports equipment on a single level as Adidas and Puma has, but was founded later. Actually in 1964 track athlete Philip Knight and his coach Bill Bowerman founded a company called Blue Ribbon Sports.

Carolyn billed Nike 35$ on her design, and did not leave the company until 1983.
