Six Eye-Opening Statements From Phil Knight’s Hall of Fame Speech

“In the winter months, it may be hard to believe, but I was a gym rat – wearing floppy socks before Pete Maravich and Converse shoes – getting a new pair at the cost of $7 before the big game every season.”

Yes, Phil Knight played sports as a kid. We know that. That part of the above mentioned quote is not eye-opening, but $7 for some Chuck Taylors definitely makes one stop and think. Can you imagine any pair of shoes costing $7? Not to mention, it was one of, if not the most popular shoe on the market at the time. That’s equivalent to copping the “Playoff” Air Jordan 11s this winter for about $20. You wish.
