Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for overhalf a century.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes, World Cup-winning football heroes,Muhammad Ali, hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world. But the story ofthese two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach, Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sport but complainedthat they could never find comfortable shoes to play in. Rudolph always said, “You cannot playsports wearing shoes that you’d walk around town with.” So they started making their own. In1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes(釘), produced on the Dasslers’kitchen table.
On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company, Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked togetherfor many years. The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany’sathletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games.
But in 1948 the brothers argued. No one knows exactly what happened, but family membershave suggested that the argument was about money or women. The result was that Adolph leftthe company. His nickname was Adi, and using this and the first three letters of the familyname, Dassler, he founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too. At first hewanted to call it Ruda, but eventually he called it Puma, after the wild cat. The famous Pumalogo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and theircompanies have now been in competition for over sixty years. Both companies were for manyyears the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. A hiphop group, Run DMC, has even written a song called “My Adidas” and in 2005 Adidas boughtReebok, another big sports shoe company.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten, but ever since it happened, over sixtyyears ago, the town has been split into two. Even now, some Adidas employees and Pumaemployees don’t talk to each other.
