<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Book Summary:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shoe Dog is a memoir by Nike co-founder Phil Knight. The memoir chronicles the history of Nike from its early struggles to its evolution into one of the world's most recognized and profitable companies. It also highlights certain parts of Phil Knight's life.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of 2016 and called it &ldquo;an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It&rsquo;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.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In July 2018, Netflix announced a biopic adaptation, written by Ed Wood writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and produced by Knight and 5-time Oscar nominee Frank Marshall.</span></p>
