What is the origin of the Nike brand?

Nike was founded in 1964 by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight in Beaverton, Oregon. The company was originally called Blue Ribbon Sports. The name Nike was derived from the Greek word "nike," which means "foot" or "sole." The brand's logo features a swoosh of colors, which is said to represent the flow of energy from the feet to the sky.

Nike's original goal was to create athletic footwear and apparel that would help athletes achieve their peak performance. The company quickly gained popularity for its innovative designs and high-quality materials. Nike has since become one of the most popular sportswear brands in the world, with a wide range of products for athletes of all levels.
