Adi Dassler


A short animation based on a true story.

Trained as a baker, Adi Dassler started to produce his own sports shoes in his mother's wash kitchen after his return from World War I. His father, Christoph, who worked in a shoe-factory, and the brothers Zehlein, who produced the handmade spikes for track shoes in their blacksmith's shop, supported Dassler in starting his own business, Adidas (Adi Dassler). In 1924, his brother Rudolf Dassler joined the business. Rudolf later went on to found business rivals Puma. At the 1928 Olympics, Adidas equipped several athletes, laying the foundation for the international expansion of the company. During the 1936 Summer Olympics, Dassler equipped gold medal winner Jesse Owens with his shoes.  link
