First the good points: 1 It is a very detailed and engrossing account of Knight's journey. It reads more like a novel or a screenplay, as it contains anecdotal accounts of the key meetings/interactions that shaped Nike's founding. It keeps you hooked n you are excited to know what's next. 2 Knight tells it all, including personal negative traits, as it is. Most would keep the doubtful, negative parts out. 3 Not at all preachy as some management bios tend to become Now a few disappointments: 1 The books stops at 1980 or when Nike went public. This is a big let down esp since you are in 2016! That is too long a time to keep the reader away. So you don't get any view as to how Nike finally took over its arch enemy Adidas. No insights into the athletes that Nike is associated with. If one has to go by the period written in this book the next 35 have been even more eventful. Hopefully Knight will soon bring out another volume. 2 While Knight paints the key milestones vividly, the book does not contain any pictures! This is almost unforgivable. The reader is robbed of the opportunity to relate more closely to the characters and enjoy the ride that much more. Not sure about the reason but may be it's the strong headed Knight who did not want to part with his privacy. But a very serious error on part of the publishers! Of course its worth the read! ## Frequently Bought Together - Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of NIKE [Paperback] Phil Knight - STEVE JOBS (PB): THE EXCLUSIVE BIOGRAPHY [Paperback] Isaacson, Walter - Zero to One: Notes on startups, or how to build the future --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/70630290-shoe-dog](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/70630290-shoe-dog) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
