Adidas vs Puma
-
Do you all know the relationship between Puma and Adidas?
The founders of this 2 company were actually brothers.
Company split
Both brothers joined the Nazi party, but Rudi as a World War One veteran was slightly closer to the party. During the war, a growing rift between the pair reached breaking point, after an Allied bomb attack in 1943 when Adi and his wife climbed into a bomb shelter that Rudolf and his family were already in: "The dirty bastards are back again," Adi said, apparently referring to the Allied war planes, but Rudolf was convinced his brother meant him and his family. After Rudolf was later picked up by American soldiers and accused of being a member of the Waffen SS, he was convinced that his brother had turned him in.
In 1948, the brothers split their business, when Rudi left the high hill for the other side of the Aurach river: Adolf called his firm Adidas after his nick name; Rudolf called his new firm Ruda after Rudolph Dassler.
Rudolf's company changed its name to PUMA Schuhfabrik Rudolf Dassler in 1948, and became a public company in 1986, listed on the Börse München and Frankfurt Stock Exchange. -

Reebok is now owned by the German footwear giant Adidas, which completed its acquisition in early 2006.

To my knowledge, Nike has never changed their name. The Tiger you are refering to might be Asics. They first entered the US market as Onitsuka Tiger or simply Tiger.Originally posted by Slipshade:Nike used to be called Tiger or something. Don't really remember.
Currently, they are still using that name for their retro model shoes. Something like the old adidas design (The trefoil shape) you see on those adicolor shoes, as compared to their newer logo, which I am sure you are familiar with. (The diagonal pyramid). -
well in almost every aspect, adidas wins puma - soccer, basketball, running shoes, u name it.
but if adidas bought over reebok, y is there still reebok stuff ard?
and if u were to ask nike vs adidas, i will support vs( yea the middle).
nike is american and adi is german(european), and i tried and buy both goods b4.
basketball players mainly wear nike stuff, cuz there is converse in the line.
soccer is divided, but adidas a bit too much, the german team hs to wear adi, even if the player is contracted to nike or wears nike
running shoez wise, adi have good technology lor, what adizero(the lightest shoe), bounce lar(returns 100% energy to the user) and now dunno wad new shoe in queensway shopping centre(3rd law of FORmotion - must go back ask physics prof) -
Reebok Is under Adidas Now
Seems like Adidas want to take Over Nike as the 1st in terms of sports products
They are still 2nd @ the moment and Nike 1st If i am not wrong but anytime soon in the future they will overtake Nike just a matter of time -
