Transcript

Nike invented jogging and it was all just a marketing scheme. Running for fun was invented to sell you shoes and you fell for it. We heard this crazy story from the book Shoe Dog on the Entrepreneurs on Fire podcast. The founder of Nike Phil Knight was a long-distance runner and a student at Stanford. With no experience Phil just flew to Japan, randomly found Onitsuka Tiger shoes and pitched Onitsuka on the idea of selling their shoes. Shockingly, Onitsuka agreed, but now Phil had to find a way to sell 300 Tiger shoes and it turns out he was awful at it. Struggling to sell, he asked his famous Olympic running coach Bill Bowerman if he could help sell them. And it turns out Bill was a marketing genius. Bill sold out these Tiger shoes for multiple years then released the book Jogging to promote the idea of running for fun. The book was an amazing hit and sold over a million copies. Eventually Bill and Phil stopped selling Onitsukas, paid 36 dollars for a logo and started selling the Nike Cortez. It turns out Nike doesn't sell shoes, they sold the idea of running first.
