Nike Founder Phil Knight On Michael Jordan, John McEnroe, And Wearing Sneakers With Tuxedos

Sn Image Na

Jordan Luka 1 shoe Phil Knight sat down with David Rubenstein of Bloomberg to talk about his time with the Swoosh. Phil was candid about noticing the talent behind Tiger Woods and courting the legendary golfer from a young age by inviting him and his dad out for lunch. Knight even went into detail on having a love-hate relationship with John McEnroe’s infamous temper on the tennis court. Phil also said that when wearing a tuxedo he still represents the Swoosh by donning Patriotic Nikes – he didn’t specify which pair but we’re hoping that he occasionally breaks out the Jordan 11 at formal events. Of course, it wouldn’t be a complete interview without talking about Michael Jordan, and Phil said that David Stern ‘did (Nike) a huge favor’ by banning the shoes in the NBA for not following color guidelines. Watch the full video via Bloomberg below and be sure to read Phil’s memoir Shoe Dog More Images of the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 KO Low.
