The Sibling Rivalry Behind Adidas Versus Puma
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- In the 1930s, brothers Adolf and Rudolph Dassler made the most kickass kicks throughout the land. Business began to take off once Jesse Owens won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics while wearing Dassler sneakers. But with great success brought great competition. Soon, sibling rivalry split the brothers and their company apart, with each creating their own line of shoes. Today, Adidas and Puma continue to be leaders within the shoe industry, while brothers Adolf and Rudolph lie buried at opposite ends of a soccer field as their feud continues on into eternity.

Great big story: Adidas and puma are the biggest brand rivals .
Nike: am I a joke to you
Adidas and puma : YES
True and logical 😂😂
Nike is unnecessarily overpriced. Typical American!
Macgyver de Quadros since when was Nike overpriced😂
@@jaylonjackson3218 Football (soccer) shoes are overpriced
aiman.k_b_e _ Nike is worth more than both combined but ok
An interesting history which I had no idea about before watching this video. Thanks for sharing it.
Kahlil Hernández there was w darker story to it tho
Kahlil Hernández isn’t it adidas and puma tho? Like pumas kinda irrelevant at this point
They were Nazis too
I think why the Adidas-Puma match happened in 2009 was because from 2004-2018, Adidas's General Counsel was Frank Dassler who not only was the last Dassler in Adidas, but was also the grandson of Rudi Dassler.
He was the only Dassler to have worked for both Adidas & Puma.
Adidas for life my fellow Slavs

The two dislikes are the two brothers
Are they ghost now???
Woosh
Rest of them came from both of their employees.
213 I think the brothers made fake acc
Isn't that mean they agree with each other for once?
This is like a sibling rivalry BUT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
Trader Joe's and ALDI have a similar story. When German siblings get pissed off at one another they start competing businesses to run the other out of business.
theylied1776 nowadays Aldi sells Trader Joe's products :D
same goes for aldi nord and aldi süd
theylied1776 Trader Joe’s isn’t German?
it is
Trader Joe's was founded by an American, but owned by one of the Aldi brothers, who is German.
Not the only sibling rivalry from Germany though, check out the story about Aldi supermarkets - it’s pretty interesting. Although these two brothers weren’t as hostile to each other as the Dassler brothers.
Ah, the rivalry between Aldi Sud (Aldi in the US) vs Aldi Nord (Trader Joe's).
Adidas and Puma both are my favorite brands. And I never knew the story behind.🤷♀🤷♀
Both companies have very nice outlets in Herzogenaurach.
They sell limited edition products in there, that were never launched in the market.
I like puma’s aesthetic way better.
spiffy macadamia puma for the win
Pumas are garbage
Puma looks way too clean imo
Agree
The simplicity of the adidas originals series are my favorite
Seems like me and my sister with LEGO’s
Cavin Sontheimer ś
You invented legos?
my sister is named Mega Bloks
Cavin Sontheimer Everytime im suicidal.. I step on lego
What you be doing? Placing them around corners of a wall as mines?
I like both of them
I'll stick with my Nikes.
Andrew Gabriel adidas or puma always win on shoes
jame hetfild I don't know where you are from but Nike is the largest supplier of athletic shoes in the world.
Andrew Gabriel doesn't mean they are everyone's favorite, stripes are really something compared to stupid check mark
Andrew Gabriel for me Puma shoes always iconic nike maybe in jersey department ..but for shoes puma is up there...so wonderful looking even sometimes they are expensive
Andrew Gabriel No your wrong pumas better
a video that cuts to the facts, and doesnt drag on the video for 10 minutes and 1 second. Thanks.
Puma has better shoes and better sponsorships
Adidas (adi Dee das) has better clothes and makes you a slav
Wrong*.*
@Elijah Edric Guinto i wasn't talking about the pronounciayion,i was talking about the brand and what it produces itself...
Nah
Nike gas the best shoes
Adidas has the better clothes
Puma is pretty bad if you ask me
Not Adididas sondern ade-das i am german
@@burek_s_mesom6163 saying puma is bad is like saying a lamborghini is slow
I'll go with Puma.
I really like them.

If ADIDAS & Puma released a shoe together that would be awesome!
I wear pumas
They are just stylish bowling shoes
We couldn’t do anything without wonderful sportsware brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma.
I would love to see a movie about the brothers now
I love puma for their style 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Rudolf Dassler started the company "Ruda" which later became Puma. There is a great research paper written over 10 years ago about it online based on the Sneaker Wars book.
"puma because that name is awesome"
So,moral of the story is Shoes brings people closer👨👦!Together or even breakapart💢!Be Happy😊 People&Love your shoe!⚽️
I like Adidas and my Dad likes Puma
This is war between me and him
I like puma and nike
This is a war between u and me with ur dad
This is one of the best videos I've watched from you guys
Puma all day
I love how the new era of love and shoes only began after the death of the two brothers
Sorry but my Boys indorse puma. And I love it
Got7BTSSEVENTEENEXOVIXX KARDTWICEBLACKPINK I know I was gonna find my fam here lmao 😂 And yes PUMA for the win!
Good video.
For me, when it comes to driving shoes, I pick Puma because of the shoe tread that's suitable for driving. For casuals, I pick Adidas....I just wanted to have a simple shoe that doesn't look too bulky or weird. Both shoe brand are good at making shoes for certain category although we shouldn't forget that NIKE is on top of both of them. I own and wore both Puma and Adidas's shoes along with NIKE's shoes.
The 220 dislikes are all the Nike employees
I legit just got an Adidas ad before this video
Jordan: *hold my shoe*
It's always great to anything about History. Bad or good, no matter what it is. Adidas and Pumas are my favorite feet and leg product to use for my lower half. I always wear Adidas shoes and Pumas socks everyday.
Love both companies but gotta go with Puma!
We need more of these types of videos, with the same editor and commentator.
I’ll just get converse instead.
A great story of sibling rivalry. Wish were like that
Adidas are killing it in the skate scene.
Michael Rossi I think the buzenitz are the most comfortable shoes ever created but they don’t have the durability.
CaptainChaos88 I think suciu’s are more comfortable but I got fat feet.
....vans
Really... this is interesting so sad for a sibling rivalry but what the establish in shoes business was really worth dying for...
Pumas , havent seen adidas in Formula 1 ehh?
I love Puma but in the US Adidas has a huge market in college football, NBA, NFL, Puma is finally back with my beloved NBA team the Suns with DeAndre Ayton! And he fucked Adidas along the way lol.
I got some slick new adidas over the weekend. Glad to see this.
i'll have to admit adidas is more popular bUT HEY PUMA GOT BTS tOO
Bts 4life
Bts is trash
@@jacobbelay9116 can't agree more
BTS is a gay band that sings with autotune has really shity music and is cringe
@@burek_s_mesom6163 damn right 👌👌👌
Did you know, adidas stands for all day I dream about sports? Totally unrelated but thought you should know 😂
ADIDAS shoes hurt my pinky toes. PUMAs, my toes pop through them.
Jemiah DaPap get bigger sizes 😂
Bailey Weeks width idiot. Width not length. 🙄
Not all cuts fit all feet. I used to wear Adidas a lot but my feet have become too wide for how they cut their shoes. Or they changed their cut to narrow, idk. I wear Asics now and am happy.
Jemiah DaPap im pretty sure converse helps with that
Yeah but converse wear really easily
Love both of them
Boi look at those Skechers all alone😂
Notice at 1:53 that show laces are tied to be a infinity sign and a heart
You pronounced Adidas wrong. It is pronounced AH-dee-dahs. “The brand is German, most Europeans pronounce it correctly. It comes from the name of the company’s founder, Adolph Dassler, whose nickname was Adi.” The combo of his nickname and last name is where “Adidas” comes from. (Business Insider)
While it's not stressed that much on the "di" like most English speakers and this narrator do, it's not pronounced with "AH" at the beginning and drawn out vowels either.
It's more like "addy-dass" with all short vowels and more with a double D sound kind of like in "muddy". So, it starts off like "addition" and ends in "dass" with a short A and a snappy S sound (kind of like "class"). Because that end comes from the last name "Dassler" and in German, vowels before a double consonant are short. I am a native German speaker.
Ellie that was literally pointed out in the video....
pronunciations change due to use and popularity.
Americans took the brand so we can call it what we want lol
Eh
Wow, awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Adidas: Like
Puma:comment
These are never accurate and faulty.
The 'like' option always wins as it's so much easier to like than to stop and write down a comment.
I could do...
Poop = like
Pizza = comment
And poop would eventually win.
how this never got to be a movie?
I swear a GOD I'm not into PUMA until BTSXCourtstar happened. And we will get BTSXTurin soon 💸💸💸 😭😭😭😭😭
Lol turin is awesome got mine a week ago
Awww the ending was so nice
I'll just stick to my black and white Nike decades. On God, it will take you on a trip in a rocketship.
Sounds heavenly 😂
I heard this story before. Kinda cool that they both became successful.
But I thought that they build their factories across the river.
He said the biggest rivers
Me: more like Nike and adidas
Rivals they r brothers
Nike sucks
theevenonein dark dark dark lol it the best right know Nike is and adidas is 2nd
Right before i saw this video i had a converse ad
"Nike"
Am I a joke to you?
Immortal yes
U are
@@sharifahmed8802 not me
Nike = the McDonald's of shoes. Yea Nike is a joke actually.
Wow. I did not know about this. Have always thought that the rivalry was between Puma and Nike.
I thought it was adidas vs nike
Jacques Same
No the founder of Nike wasn't one of the Dassler brothers Einstein.
Both my favorite brands only own shirts and shoes by both(2 pairs of jordans but hardly wear them) and i would never ever be able to decide which in like more 😫
how to avoid anti-trust laws 101
Imagine the "Employees" and their families who lived in that town..working in the 2 Factories.Their must have been ridiculous rivalries.
Puma is still better 🙄😉
Hell no
Basha A haha, good one
I can say I first liked adidas more than puma. I even have the adidas original tattoo on my forearm but later I grew a intense liking towards the puma brand their recent style really grabbed my attention especially the motorsport gear and shoes and last part and perhaps what really sealed the deal for me is pumas incredible competitive pricing I sometimes can't believe how cheap some things actually are on their website.
i am sorry puma
*but u are not slav approved like adibas*
I never knew that they were brothers!!! Woah Nice videooo
I like Adidas, like if you agree.
I like these kind of videos where I don't have to research and all I need to do is lie down and learn lmao
Adidas is better
Love and Shoes! That's right
Nike’s still better lol
Innit
Nope
Lmao just overpriced thot clothing
Nike is their brother that got separated at birth
Nah
*Puma and adidas become friends* Nike: SLoW DOwN THeRe BuCKAroO
Adidas the best one
this might be like the only great big story I actually knew about!!!!
plus the kathakali one cause I'm from Kerala😂
I knew that both where Nazis but not that they where brothers
That's crazy rivalry
Bruh, you kidding me? My Adidas shoes are just a nickname for the Adolf shoes?
Wonder if this was inspired by the Adidas story in WIRED. Just read that a month or so ago and it was the first time i'd head these companies were founded by brothers.
That's insane, a cool story, but damn those brothers for real disliked each other.
Great thanks
I haven’t been seeing puma for a long time
Puma went out with the 90's
Gratz on 2 mil
that is actually kinda funny, interesting history between them!
We all know that all the weird kids at school wear puma shoes
By chance did either of the brothers ever hire 9 mercenaries each?
Thanks for your info
i knew they were brothers. But i didnt knew they were comparing and fighting to whos better (you know...)
*I like them both*
Wow 😲 I had no idea! But happy ending, yeay! 😃
Nice story both good shoes. Prefer Puma for comfort and styling. 👍
Ahh yes, Team fortress *Shoe.*
Seems like the mysterious Kyurem + Reshiram + Zekrom Fusion Pokemon story
This will be me and my sister. The war between converse and vans
Clearly, they completely disregard any reason of why the relationship between the brothers were so bad
wait so are they competing brands? is it normal to wear adidas sneakers with puma pants and vice-versa?
