NEW YORK (AP) β Nike Chairman Phil Knight has written a memoir.
The Scribner imprint of Simon & Schuster Inc. told The Associated Press on Monday that Knight’s book is scheduled for spring 2016. Currently untitled, the memoir will concentrate on Nike’s early years, when Knight went into business with Bill Bowerman, his track coach at the University of Oregon, in 1964.
Knight, who announced in June that he will step down next year, is known for his reluctance to talk about the past. But, according to Scribner, the memoir is “candid, humble, gutsy and wry.”
