  | AboutNike is a global brand producing an average 65 million-1.2 billion shoes per year with a whole net profit through every sale is $2.13 billion as of 2011. 2012 has proven to be even better producing a net profit of $2.22billion As of the start of december. It was first started by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight (1964) and they named it Blue Ribbon Sports. It became Nike about 14 years later (1978) LocationNike is based in Oregon near beaverton in the usa but they do have 'sweatshops' in places like Indonesia, Bangladesh and Vietnam. These have highly been criticised because the pay is so small it is known to leave the workers still in starving conditions. If they wanted to get what they call a 'taxi' home, it would cost them something like 35p which is about one eight of their pay. One way. |
