Synopsis

Phil Knight, el gurú de los negocios detrás del la multimillonaria marca Nike, nos relata por primera vez su trayectoria hacia el éxito.

Phil Knight habla por primera vez de la auténtica historia detrás de Nike, la empresa que fundó en 1962, que hoy factura más de 30 000 millones de dólares al año, y cuyo logo ha llegado a ser un símbolo global, el icono más ubicuo y reconocido en todo el mundo.

Todo comenzó con 50 dólares y una idea sencilla: importar calzado deportivo económico y de gran calidad desde Japón. Vendiendo esos tenis en la cajuela de su coche, Phil Knight consiguió facturar 8 000 dólares durante el primer año. Progresivamente, este pequeño negocio se convirtió en una start-up exitosa que revolucionó el mercado, creó una marca universal e innovadora y evolucionó hasta convertirse en el gigante actual.

En estas memorias sinceras y viscerales, Phil Knight relata los numerosos riesgos asumidos, los reveses sufridos y los incipientes éxitos, pero sobre todo la relación con sus primeros colaboradores y empleados, un grupo de inconformistas y luchadores que acabaron sintiéndose como hermanos.

Juntos, animados por la fuerza de un objetivo común y una fe profunda en el espíritu del deporte, construyeron una marca que transformó todos los cánones establecidos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight "offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh" (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company's early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world's most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands.

Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of 2016 and called it "an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It's a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do."

Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike's annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight's Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world.

But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last. At twenty-four, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankers--as well as his many thrilling triumphs. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers.

Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brand--and a culture--that changed everything.

Review

Otros autores y personalidades han opinado:

"Conozco a Phil Knight desde que era niño, pero en realidad no lo descubrí hasta que abrí este magnífico libro tan personal. Lo mismo me ha ocurrido con Nike. Había usado su material con orgullo, pero no era consciente del conjunto de logros extraordinarios, innovación, supervivencia y triunfo que hay detrás del logo de esta marca. Sincero, entretenido y elegante, éste es un relato para todos aquellos a quienes les guste el deporte, pero sobre todo para quienes adoran las memorias." -Andre Agassi, autor del bestseller Open-

"Nunca pares es una magnífica historia sobre la suerte, el coraje, el aprendizaje y la alquimia mágica de un puñado de personajes excéntricos que se reunieron para crear Nike. Las lecciones que encontramos en este libro acerca de la emprendeduría y los obstáculos que vamos encontrando cuando queremos crear algo nuevo no tienen precio." -Abraham Verghese, autor de Hijos del ancho mundo-

"Una conmovedora y entretenida aventura, una auténtica odisea con mucho que enseñar sobre innovación y creatividad. Phil Knight nos lleva hasta los inicios de la marca Nike y recuerda cómo tuvo que suplicar para conseguir dinero de unos bancos muy reacios y cómo tuvieron que trabajar juntos para construir algo único y revolucionario. Una inspiración para quienes tengan sueños poco convencionales." -Michael Spence, Premio Nobel de Economía-
