介绍:
Adidas and Puma are two of the biggest rivals in shoes. But did you know that their founders were two halves of a once happy family business that turned into a level of brother rage so intense (that) it will get the sneaker heads' tongues a-wagging? In the 1930s, the Dassler brothers' sport shoe company in Bavaria made the most kick-ass athletic shoes in all the land. But all of that success was not good for their relationship. Tensions flared.
In 1949, Adolf, or Adi Dassler, formed Adidas, a play on his nickname. Rudolf Dassler started Puma because, well, that name is awesome. The brothers sued each other many, many times over the years over all sorts of design and trademark issues, costing each other a fortune in lawyers and suits. The brothers died two years apart. They were buried at opposite ends of the village graveyard.
