Named after the Greek goddess of victory, Nike Inc. has been nothing but victorious since it's launch as Blue Ribbon Sports in January of 1962. In 1971, the company branded itself with the name "Nike" and attached the legendary swoosh to its name. The now multi-billion dollar company is the global leader of athletic apparel.

Being a Nike Athlete is quite the job. You get amazing perks and discounts, create bonds with your fellow athletes (#NikeFam, #SwooshFam) and sell phenomenal products and services to the world. Here are 23 things that Nike athletes can relate to.

1. When you're opening and your manager isn't there yet.

Roshes are not the shoes to work out in, my friend.

9. That moment when you forgot you had an NTC activation, and you did a full body workout the night before.
