Three Stripes Versus Puma!

For her new book, ‘Drei Streifen gegen Puma’ Barbara Smit spent five years doing research on the brothers behind Puma and Adidas; Rudolf and Adolf Dassler. Her book covers the brothers’ history: from the family shoe company during Germany’s sport-obsessed 1920s, through the WWII Nazi era, up until their messy divorce and the rise of the two seperate sneaker empires. Should be a very interesting read! Thanks to I Love My Adidas. Click to enlarge!
