    it’s time for shoe facts

    the shoe brands adidas and puma were both formed from the dassler brothers shoe factory
    the brothers were engaged in a bitter feud worsened by the stress of the war, until '48 when rudi dassler finally built his own puma factory right across the river from the adidas one
    the feud, carried by their children, continued for decades, arguably until 2007 when puma was bought out by a french fashion giant

    this has been shoe facts

      I’ve got a mate who works for Adidas. Wearing their own products to the office is encouraged (imagine a Bulgarian prison), but wearing Puma is an instant firing offence.
