Episode 8: Adidas vs. Puma (Adi Dassler vs. Rudi Dassler) Part One
In episode 8, we cover the story of two brothers, Adolf 'Adi' Dassler and Rudolf 'Rudi" Dassler and their lifelong feud that ultimately led to a family rivalry that would shape the modern world of sports and sneakers as we know them. These two would go to any length to one up the other, and ended up duking it out for the biggest athlete's in the world to represent their brands, and they got there through backstabbing and collusion. Listen as we tell the story of how the two brands came to be superpowers in the sports world, and how the the two brothers would pass along their rivalry to their sons and anyone who worked for them. And we do this all while failing miserably at attempting German accents. P.S. strap in! This one is gonna be our first two parter. Part two dropping next week!
