BlackToe X Nike BRS Urban Mile
On January 25, 1964 Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman came together to create Blue Ribbon Sports, which would eventually become Nike! January 25th also happens to be Steve Prefontaine's birthday. In recognition of the anniversary of both of these important events, Nike and BlackToe Running are hosting an Urban Mile Race.
