Description
The legacy of the most famous brand in sneakers began in the 1970s when the legendary Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman began cobbling together his own custom-made track spikes and racing flats, eventually pairing with former runner Phil Knight to found the Nike brand in 1972. Nike gained popularity outside of performance athletics during the early 1980s with models such as the Nike Air Force 1, Nike Dunk, and Air Jordan 1, which all became hit lifestyle sneakers on the streets.
