Adidas Shoes – The Adidas brand made its way into the world from the bowels of two siblings. They hailed from Bavaria, Germany. When one of the two brothers (Adolf Dassler) became 20. He created his very first set of shoes, and before 1920. He and his brother Ruduolf had created their own small brand named ‘DASSLER SHOES’, and had already set aims of becoming they best athletic shoe company in the market.
The set of shoes produced by these boys, were done in the laundry room of their mother. And despite being a small dream without any major financial backing. Their company started to grow. Soon afterward, the boys started growing apart, and there were problems arising among them, which only got worse when the 2nd world war struck.
More How Adidas Shoes Came About
In the period of the war, DASSLER branded company was subjected to creating weapons to withstand the effect of tanks and was almost completely destroyed by opposition fighters. It was noted that there came a time where it was on the verge of getting destroyed, and Adi’s wife bravely begged and told them that the place wasn’t erected as a mechanism for war, but for shoemaking activities only. And that was how the company was saved from destruction. After this situation, their popularity slightly increased, and shoes were bought from them by the soldiers.
However, as predicted because of the recent rifts they were having, they finally went their different ways in 1947. Ruldoph created Puma shoes, and Adolf rebranded Dassler into Adidas while making use of his nick and few letters from the former brand’s name.
