The race to the top

February 18, 2010

Thought I would share this intuitive graphic shaped around an oval track charting the rise and fall of the three major athletic brands adidas,Puma and Nike. You might have to zoom the image to better see the different chronological descriptions. My take away from it? Fourth grade students are valuable , very valuable :) .

    Ampi – Yea, I have a book by Barbara Smits called Pitch Invasion/Sneaker Wars which highlights the fierce rivalry between the Dassler brothers. Remind me to give it to you when I come down.

    So was 4th grade the timeframe when you got soo smitten and influenced by the adidas brand?? And probably the reason that drove you to desperation and leading to the acts of larceny (of you know what…)..
