"Make history or be part of it." - Phil Knight
Phil had gone through many moments that tested his endurance, but he never gave up on his company and strove to make things work. Shoe Dog also tells of his personal life and him having to juggle both the roles of a father and a businessman. The trials that Phil had gone through allowed him to emerge stronger than before.
