I consider it a worthy epilogue where he takes us through how far NIKE has come and in the process, how far he and Penny has come too. He really is a seeker I saw this more during the last part of the book titled ‘Night’ That part, for me, was the most emotional part. He began to look like a seeker, to me, someone trying to find meaning in the different encounters and spiritual identities in the world. But as the story progressed I saw how he kept alluding to different spiritual leanings. Initially, I thought he was leaning towards atheism /agnosticism or just being generally dismissive of the divine. I’m so happy that Knight underlined that. Tobi: I love how the name NIKE came to be. MojolaOluwa: Gosh! 😂😂😂 I just kept on writing, trying to encapsulate everything that stood out in the story🙈🙈🙈. Tobi: Wow! Wawu! This is a SENTENCE🤓🤓🤓 MojolaOluwa: I’d say it’s a beautifully woven plot of dreams and aspirations, and never giving up, and just doing it, of love, disappointments, highs and lows, grief and happiness, lessons learnt, unlearn-ed and relearnt, pleasant memories, positive projections, varying human motions and emotions a really really good read. Ohh! It’s a sentence not a word I will say ‘the book is a brazenly honest narrative’. I definitely will use the word ‘honest’ The book is brazenly honest. So if you had to describe the book in one sentence, what would it be? MojolaOluwa: AA Phil Knight hug for you!!! (whatever that means) 😂. I didn’t want to share moments with the book with any other activity In fact, I spent this long reading it because the book intrigued me so much I had to savour it It was like a lover to me. It dragged this long not because it was a boring read. MojolaOluwa: So we gave ourselves 3 weeks to read the book. Title of Book- Shoe Dog by Phil Knight(The creator of Nike) We did justice to it by discussing our takes from the book and we wanted to share that with you. Absolutely lovely idea! That’s how we studied ‘NIKE’ for a few weeks😎.

So my home girl Oluwatobiloba Elujulo shared this book with me and thought we could read it together. Guys! Guys! Guys! This is a special edition of my book review blog series.
