Reviews

"The ultimate entrepreneur's guide to the top of the mountain. I could not put it down. . . . [Shoe Dog] builds characters of the people behind the brand."--Bill Walton, Wall Street Journal "A fresh historical perspective on one of the most profiled companies in the world." --ESPN.com "A refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. . . . Knight opens up in a way few CEOs are willing to do. . . . It's an amazing tale."--Bill Gates, one of his favorite books of 2016 "The best memoir I recall ever reading. As a business biography, it ranks with such recent works as Neal Gabler's Disney and Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs. But as a personal memoir Shoe Dog reaches a depth of emotional honesty that even the best biographies haven't touched."--Rich Karlgaard, Forbes "A fascinating warts-and-all account of the company's early years, a rascally tale of scrappiness and survival, a great read."--Motley Fool "A rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh."--Booklist (starred review) "Shoe Dog is, at its heart, an origin story, of both a global brand and a footwear lifer . . . it reads like pure adventure story, boys facing steeper and steeper challenges and finding ways through, often by the skin of their teeth. As Knight collects the misfits and oddballs who become the core of his growing company, Shoe Dog is more like The Lord of the Rings than a typical mogul memoir."--Complex "'The best book I read last year. Phil is . . . a gifted storyteller."--Warren Buffett
