Three-Stripe Thrills The history of the adidas shoe, from early beginnings until today It all started in their mother’s laundry room in the quiet German town of Herzogenaurach. There, Adolf Dassler—known to everyone as “Adi”—and his brother Rudolf made their first pair of sports shoes. Hundreds of groundbreaking designs, epic moments, and star-studded collabs later, this book presents the first visual review of the adidas shoe through more than 357 models including never-before-seen prototypes and one-of-a-kind originals. “This volume is a tool for inspiration and a treasure trove that showcases adidas’ ambition, identity, and originality.” — Jacques Chassaing
