Nike has long been inspired and for athletes in general, but their first and still greatest muse was Steve Prefontaine, a brilliant, headstrong and seemingly tireless runner from Oregon who at one point held seven American records. Pre was Bill Bowerman’s greatest runner at the University of Oregon, and he served as Bowerman’s primary tester for his homemade running shoe innovations. He was tragically killed in 1974 in a single-car crash at the age of 24. Today would have been his 61st birthday.

The term tai-pan (Chinese: 大班; pinyin: Dàbān) was originally used to describe a foreign businessman in China or Hong Kong in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Cantonese[1] colloquialism is now used in a more general sense for business executives of any origin. Its literal meaning is top class,[2] which is comparable to the English slang term big shot.
