Knight made the track team and found that not only could he run fast but also, more importantly, he liked it.\n\nTen years later, young and searching, Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high quality running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car to start, he and his gang of friends and runners built one of the most successful brands ever.\n\nPhil Knight encountered risks and setbacks along the way but always followed his own advice. Just keep going. Don’t stop. Whatever comes up, don’t stop. Filled with wisdom, humanity, humor, and heart, Shoe Dog is a story of determination that inspires all who read it.\n\nThe young readers edition is an abridged version of the internationally bestselling adult book and it features original front matter and back matter, including a new introduction and “A Letter to the Young Reader” containing advice from Phil Knight for budding entrepreneurs.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1534401180\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1534401180.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Knight, Phil\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
