Amassing an army of runners as part of the iconic Nike Run Club, sportswear behemoth Nike knows running. High quality performance is part of the company's DNA; since its founding in 1964 by University of Oregon track athlete Phil Knight and his coach Bill Bowerman, to the creation of their slogan (the ever recognizable "Just Do It") in 1988, Nike has always championed putting in the work for the best result. Today, the brand has partnered with various celebrities and athletes to push the active agenda, creating performance wear that is both stylish and enduring, as well as technology that allows the average person to train like an athlete.
