| You could be shocked to know that one particular of the world's dominant shoe, sports equipment and clothes brands was aptly named following the Greek goddess of victory -- and that the inspiration for the name struck in the course of a dream.
It began in 1964 having a casual agreement and a handshake in between University of Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, a middle-distance runner. The pair formed Blue Ribbon Sports and started importing Japanese brand Onitsuka Tiger running shoes, known these days as ASICs, for sale in the U.S.<a href=http://cheaplingeriestore.blogspot.com/2013/04/air-max-90-what-youll-want-to-know.html>nike requin pas chere</a>
In 1967, Knight and Bowerman made the handshake deal formal and incorporated as BRS Inc. Jeff Johnson signed on in 1965 because the company's first full-time salesperson and opened Blue Ribbon Sports' very first retail outlet the following year. In 1971, Johnson produced an incalculable contribution for the corporation: One evening, he dreamed of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, and recommended the name to his bosses. The business used the moniker for its first footwear item to feature the "Swoosh" mark -- a soccer cleat referred to as the Nike, whose name beat out Knight's suggestion that they call it the Dimension six.
The Swoosh trademark was designed by a graphic-design student from Portland State University named Carolyn Davidson. She got $35 for her creation.
