Nike

Nike was founded in 1972 and takes its name from the Greek goddess of victory. The company had humble beginnings between 1962 and 1964 when Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight began working with representatives Onitsuka Tiger and importing their shoes. Bowerman and Knight’s company was called Blue Ribbon Sports at the time.

Over the course of time, two more men stepped in to help put the final touches on the company to help it become what it is today. They are Jeff Johnson and Steve Prefontaine. Johnson is given credit for coming with the name “Nike”. Johnson was also responsible for opening the company’s first retail outlet in 1966. After so many years, Nike still remains the world’s largest athletic and fitness supplier. They have obviously moved on to other things aside from shoes, such as Nike swimwear.

Nike swimsuits are just more than bikinis and one-pieces made for a leisure stroll down the beach or around the pool. Nike, like Speedo that is famous for their swim suits, provides a good majority for the swimming competition world. While Nike sells their products in stores all over the world, you may also buy Nike swim suit online. Doing a search for Nike swim wear on the Nike website, the best selling item for the men is the Hydra Full Body suit ($220.00) which, according to the product description on the site, “reduces water collection and turbulence, seam placement oriented to improve flow of water over the body, and zoned tension to restrict stretch and keep fabric closer to the body and scientifically proven to reduce drag in the water.”

The best selling Nike women’s swimwear include the Poly Tech UV Shortini ($88.00), which the site states is great for every day use, and the Poly Tech Tankini ($86.00), which is made with fabric carrying 50 SPF protection and is great for every day training. A Nike swimsuit, at the regular price, can run anywhere from $29.99 to $220.00 plus shipping. The prices of Nike swim suits on clearance can run anywhere from $24.99 to $59.99 plus shipping. Most of the Nike swimwear on clearance is Nike ladies swimwear. You may also find Nike competition swimsuits.

Nike also provides many stores around the world in various malls and outlet shopping centers, stores that sell Nike swimwear, not only sell them, but other athletic apparel as well. This is a great way to avoid shipping charges and actually see the Nike swim suits or Nike bathing suits on the rack and be able to try them on. The Nike web site has a store locator so anyone can find a location near them.

For almost forty years, Nike has been a staple for athletes and for the sporty folks who just loves a good pair of sneakers or sharp-looking Nike bathing suit. The way things are going, it’s pretty much a guarantee you can look forward to another forty great years.
