Nike Quest running shoes

Nike is a globally recognized American brand founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. The brand officially became Nike, Inc. in 1971, adopting the iconic 'Swoosh' logo seen on this sneaker.

Manufacturing of Nike footwear is decentralized, taking place in a vast network of independent contract factories primarily located in Asia. The majority of production occurs in Vietnam, Indonesia, and China to meet global demand.

Nike, Inc. remains the ultimate owner of the brand. Headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, it is the world's largest supplier of athletic shoes and apparel. The company operates numerous subsidiaries worldwide to handle regional distribution, marketing, and retail operations.
