First cooporate of Nike and Adidas suggest the battle between brands was probably a draw

In the dying moments of extra time in the World Cup final, it was an Adidas ball being kicked into the goal by a player wearing Nike football shoess which made Spain the world champions. What amazing event? This is the first time that Adidas and Nike become partners. Long before, the war between Adidas and Nike has never stopped, no longer say cooperation. It is a history moment suggest the battle between the two conglomerates was probably a draw.

Before World Cup 2010, Nike has changed their way to ads " Write the future" which make the great succeed in football shoes sales. It was nike Mercurial Vapor, the forth series shoes make Spain to the world champions. However, after the effect of Adidas ads in the football field, it was Adidas become the biggest winner in the shoe sales. It seems that the war between Adidas and Nike continues long period, but half a century ago, intense competetion between Adidas and Puma has never ended.

Once upon a time, back in the 1920s, the Dasslers were a happy family. Nike Air Jordan Mens Two sons of a master cobbler, Adolf (Adi) and Rudolf (Rudi) Dassler showed that they had a talent for turning leather into highly effective sports shoes.

Adi, in particular, designed spiked running shoes that were used by Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. During the Second World War, however, something soured the fraternal relationship. "It was like a marriage that goes terribly, terribly wrong," said Ernst Dittrich, head of the town archives in Herzogenaurach, northern Bavaria.

One anecdote suggests that relations broke when Adi and his family were sheltering from an Allied air raid. "There come those Schweinehunde," he shouted when his brother's family entered the shelter.

Later he tried to explain that the "pig dogs" insult referred to the RAF bombers rather than his relations, but the damage had apparently been done.

There were storiesof soured romances between members of the two wings of the family but the most likely explanation is that the feud was rooted in the later war years, when Rudi became a US prisoner of war.

By the time Nike Air Max Wholesale he returned home, Adi was firmly in control of the factory and was unwilling to make much space for him.

Enraged, Rudi set up his own factory on the other side of the river and called it Puma. Adi named his factory adidas and the fight was on for global domination of the sporting footwear market.

Adidas developed removable studs that helped West Germany to win the World Cup for the first time on a slippery pitch in Berne, Switzerland, in 1954 a deeply emotional moment for all Germans and it gave Adi the edge in the competition.

He laid claim to the title of "best sports shoe manufacturer in the world" but Puma challenged the move in court, and won.

Adi responded by hiring an adidas fan, the local fishmonger, to paint the slogan on his mobile van and park it permanently outside Rudi's office window. Since then every World Cup has been a tussle between the two companies for sponsorship rights.

The feud has split not only the sporting community but the village itself. Workers are given discounts on the sportswear that they manufacture and, as a result, one half of the community wears adidas trainers and T shirts while the other half wears Puma.

In the worst years particularly after the legendary Pel scored in the 1970 World Cup final, clinching the glory for Brazil while wearing Puma Soccer Shoes fathers would disown their daughters for marrying into a Puma family.

Pubs were aligned to adidas or Puma and cold shouldered anyone who broke the dress code. The local school splintered into gangs connected to the two rival companies.

The mood has softened in recent years. Nike Free Shoes Womens Both Adi and Nike Air Max 2016 Wholesale Rudi are dead and family participation in the two companies is now minimal. In fact, many of the employees are no longer even German and much of the poison has gone out of the Battle of the shoes.

Still now, the join of Nike Soccer Shoes make competetion more intense and complex. With the first cooperation of Nike and Adidas, the war of Adidas and Puma will end one day.
