It might give you a booster when you feel desperate.

Quite revealing episodes about Onitsuka and Nissho. I kind of felt proud that Nissho was there for NIKE on their journey to success. The book contains quite a few passages about Japan, which is rare for a memoir of an American.I had heard about growing companies in need of cash in order to grow more, which had not sunk in before I read Shoe Dog. Now, I really understand why a growing company with a lot of sales could be cash-strapped.I lavishly praise Phil Knight for all he accomplished and how he accomplished it. I think I will start preparing a bucket list as he did. Mine will be a long, long list.

This is an autobiography of Phil Knight, the founder and ex CEO of Nike. This book clearly depicts how he has overcome adversities in his life. Just 17 years after WWⅡ, Phil persuaded his conservative father to pay for his flight to Japan and convinced a small shoe manufacturer to let Phil sell their shoes in the U.S.. This is how Nike started and the small Japanese shoe manufacturer is now called ASICS.Constant cash shortages, break-up with Onitsuka Tiger(ASICS) and lawsuits didn’t dishearten Phil. Rather, he bravely led the team and figured out innovative ways to rescue the company. His deep love for his colleagues and business partners such as Japanese trading company, Nissho Iwai is also very impressive.This book is a genuine textbook for entrepreneurship. I learned leadership, compassion and the spirit of ‘becoming a professor in the jungle’ through reading. I highly recommend this book!

Throughly enjoyable.As a 30yr veteran expat in Japan I could feel his pain. I found myself giving him advice.I’ve recommended the book to several.

This is a good book

Very very so good as you just know, とても感慨深く為になる本でした。一読あれ。to be the professor of the jangle

A wonderful story that takes place between the 60’s and the 80’s, which we all know how it’s going to end.

Awesome read loved every page of it. And very inspiring btw. I also now look at Nike shoes with an entirely different light.The book arrived on time and in perfect condition.

ナイキのシューズはそんなに履く方ではないが、会社がどのように成長したのかがきになり読んでみました。起業の際には、掛け持ちで事業を行っていたこと、会計の知識が事業を進めていくうえで、どれだけ役に立ったかなど読み手次第であると思いますが、事業を起こし拡大していく困難・喜び・精神的な変化・人とのかかわりなどあらゆる面を細かく再現している非常に優れた書籍だと思います。描写が臨場感ある感じで描かれているので、一気に読んでしまうことができました。そのため、非常に良い本であると思います。
