    Looks like an awesome experience. There's a reason Puma is located across from Adidas. Both brands were created by the Dassler brothers after a falling out between them. One brother (Rudolf) created Puma. The other (Adolf) created Adidas.

    • @katydid5088
      @katydid5088 Рік тому

      I wish Adolf wouldn't have had such a horrible falling out for naming conventions sake. (I like the name not the dictator). Naming your kid after the WWII leader is a one way stop to being put on a watch list by the teachers and social workers for a welfare check and seeing whether or not your a white supremacist.

    Maybe it's a European thing but I've always had a fondness for adidas and they gave me a few shoes to test for R&D back in the day. Some researcher there had studied at the same university I ran for in Ireland and sent a batch over. That looks like such a cool place.

Adidas, if they set their full effort on something, they might come up with another game changer. Fingers-crossed the daily trainers are in it.

    Supercool video of a supercool place! adidas is my brand, not for running, but for all other sports.. but might be trying one of the maxcushion road training shoes from Adidas out of curiosity!

    Most people want to go to Disneyworld for vacation but I’ll pass and would like to head to adidas HQ. Thank you for bringing us there!

    Nuremberg is an amazing city. It's pretty close to a couple Army bases. That definitely gives it a bit of a touristy feel at times.
