Before Nike was more formally established and named in 1971, co-founders Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight’s company was known as Blue Ribbon Sports. They imported and distributed Onitsuka Tiger running shoes. Early on, Bill Bowerman wrote to Onitsuka detailing his innovative ideas to improve their shoes and the two companies collaborated together on design and development. Onitsuka Tiger models were inspiration for some of Nike’s early models. They have been making shoes since 1949.
