It was only when Nike founder Phil Knight got cut from the baseball team as a high school freshman that his mother suggested he try out for track instead. Knight made the track team and found that not only could he run fast, but also, more importantly, he liked it.
Ten years later, young and searching, Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple import high quality running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car to start, he and his gang of friends and runners built one of the most successful brands ever.

Filled with wisdom, humanity, humor, and heart, the young readers' edition of the bestselling Shoe Dog is a story of determination that inspires all who read it.
