In 2015, the United States imported close to 88 billion U.S. dollars worth of apparel. Nike, which name is derived from the Greek goddess of victory, is the largest apparel company in the world and is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon. It was founded on January 25, 1964 by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. Nike's revenue amounted to approximately 32.38 billion U.S. dollars in fiscal year 2016.
The U.S. is the worldâs largest sneaker market, and shoewear sales from the top sneaker triad â Adidas, Nike and Under Armour â climbed in 2013 to a total of more than $25 billion, a 47 percent jump since 2009. [Sneaker wars: How basketball shoes became a billion-dollar business]
