The company grew quickly by offering apparel and opening stores in 1966. The company later launched the first Nike shoe in 1972.

Blue Ribbon Sports was renamed to Nike Inc in 1978, the name it has been known by since that time.

The company enjoyed many milestones along the way including signing Michael Jordan to an endorsement deal and launching the Air Jordan shoe. Other endorsements with athletes and brands and acquisitions along the way have made Nike a top-performing stock over the last 40-plus years.
