A review by thechanelmuse
Shoe Dog by Phil Knight

5.0

"So that morning in 1962 I told myself: Let everyone else call your idea crazy … just keep going. Don't stop. Don't even think about stopping until you get there, and don't give much thought to where 'there' is. Whatever comes, just don't stop."

This is a must-read for sneakerheads, anyone interested in business, anyone in need of motivation, and anyone who enjoys stories about someone remaining steadfast in their vision, despite having a ton of obstacles arising on their journey. This book is a rollercoaster ride. Although I adore it, I really give it a 4 1/2 because it should've been longer. I know this is a considered a "memoir," but it feels more so about the "history" of the company Phil Knight co-founded, Nike. There was so much important information that was merely touched on for a sentence or two in the epilogue that should've had their own chapters, like Michael Jordan for one. The huge impact of Air Jordan elevating Nike to even higher heights should've definitely been included.
