Nike, Inc. is a global leader in the design, development, and marketing of athletic footwear, apparel, equipment, and accessories. Founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, the company officially became Nike, Inc. in 1971, named after the Greek goddess of victory. The brand's iconic 'Swoosh' logo and 'Just Do It' slogan have made it one of the most recognizable brands in the world.

While headquartered in Oregon, United States, Nike utilizes a vast global supply chain. The majority of its manufacturing takes place in Southeast Asia, with a significant concentration of factories in Vietnam, Indonesia, and China. This diverse manufacturing base allows Nike to serve international markets efficiently while maintaining its status as an American multinational corporation with ultimate ownership remaining in the United States.
