Bill Bowerman said this a couple of decades ago. The guy was right. It defines how he viewed the world, and it defines how Nike pursues its destiny. Ours is a language of sports, a universally understood lexicon of passion and competition. A lot has happened at Nike in the 33 years since we entered the industry, most of it good, some of it downright embarrassing. But through it all, we remain totally focused on creating performance opportunities for everyone who would benefit, and offering empowering messages for everyone who would listen.
What started with a handshake between two running geeks in sleepy Eugene, Oregon, is now the world’s most competitive sports and fitness company. The world headquarters is in Beaverton, Oregon. The Pacific Northwest is Nike’s hometown, but like so many ambitious souls, we have expanded our horizons to every corner of the world. Nike employs approximately 24,300 people, and every one of them is significant to our mission of bringing inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. © 2006 Nike
