Competitiveness


A great read for anyone interested in the evolution of sports marketing.


One would come to dominate the sports industry while another would provide stiff competition until the advent of nike and reebok.


These two styles were neighborhood competitors throughout nyc in the 70s and 80s.

    I realised the brand had reached some very high standing when it was picked up by the yankees and when the band korn offered their own take on the name “adidas”

    It wasn’t until i researched the company though that i realised it was named after its founder adi dassler and as part of that research i picked up a book entitled “sneaker wars” by barbara smit

    Yogi berra might say “you’re never impressed with the things you don’t know until you know you know them…” and this book was certainly an eyeopener

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Developing a better shoe and running a company are not necessarily the same thing as the players find out in this biography of two major shoe giant companies adidas and puma


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Although the book was good it felt tedious and drawn out in place


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im sure the author was trying to make sure that all the major players were included but maybe some of them should have been left out in the editing process


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is the neverbefore told story on the history of adidas and puma
