“It’s been said that the best way to predict the future is to create it. At Nike, we wholeheartedly agree. For over 50 years, we’ve endeavoured to create a better future for athletes. This compels us forward, always. When we say, ‘There is no finish line,’ it’s not a lazy reference to an unending grind or destination-less journey, but rather an expression of our belief in the limitless potential of sport – and design.”

With this opening paragraph from its foreword by Nike’s Chief Design Officer, John Hoke, the tone is set for No Finish Line – a forward-thinking book that invites, inspires and provokes the next generation of athletes to create a better world through design and sport.

Nike’s No Finish Line: “It’s been said that the best way to predict the future is to create it.”

Through exploratory conversations on design, sport, research, technology and manufacturing, this book charts Nike’s 50 years of game-changing design and innovation in the service of athletes; projecting a vision for the next 50 years. In addition to the foreword from Hoke, it includes speculative fiction by journalist Geoff Manaugh and essays from Sam Grawe. The essays describe five major shifts design may undergo in the coming decades. To arrive at these shifts, Grawe interviewed more than a dozen of Nike’s most inspiring designers, scientists, engineers, researchers and leaders, yielding unprecedented insights into Nike’s creative process.
