While he was Nike CEO, Parker frequently used the phrase "always on the offense" to describe the company's aggressive approach to growing sales and market share. The company's stock climbed more than 760% during his CEO tenure, far exceeding the market.

The trend has accelerated in recent years, with competing sportswear companies including Lululemon and Allbirds opening offices in Portland, Oregon. While sportswear companies are a natural fit for former Nike executives, nonathleticwear companies also have hired from Nike's top ranks.
