The company, founded on January 25, 1964 under the name Blue Ribbon Sports, officially became Nike, Inc. in 1978[8][9]. Nike sells its products under its own brand, as well as under the brands Nike Golf, Nike Pro, Nike +, Air Jordan, Nike Blazers, Air Force 1, Nike Dunk, Air Max, Foamposite, Nike Skateboarding, Nike CR7, Hurley International, Converse[10]. Nike also owned Bauer Hockey (later renamed Nike Bauer) between 1995 and 2008.[11] Nike sponsors many athletes and sports teams around the world. Since the 1990s, the company has been regularly criticized for the fact that its products are manufactured in factories where labor laws are violated. In 2021, the brand began a black streak: At first, China announced a boycott of the brand due to the fact that Nike stopped buying cotton from Xinqian province; the brand's original swush was illegally used in the creation of "satanic" sneakers by the MSCHF team.
