Nike Sportswear

As one of the most well-known brands in the world and with one of the largest collections around, it is hard to believe that Nike started out from the back of a car. The first pair of Nikes, under the name of Blue Ribbon Sports, where in fact sold out of a trunk. When Nike breathed its first breath, it inhaled the spirit of two men, Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman. On one hand Knight’s search for a way to make a living without giving up his love of athletics and on the other, track and field coach Bill Bowerman's search for lighter, more durable racing shoes for his running team. Today Nike has become the biggest global marketer of athletic footwear and apparel worn by athletes, sports fans and fashion aficionados alike. Nike has designed more of the most sought after collector sneakers than any other brands and has fairly earned its cult status worldwide. At Nitty Gritty, we regularly update our selection of iconic products and new styles.
