[QUOTE="Tommy_Taylor_1972, post: 994640, member: 6776"] Yea Charlie, the football team had all the new stuff. We round ballers only had white Chuck Taylor high tops. And the Adidas show was pronounced two words Adi-Das for the name of the shoe company owner (Adolph (Adi) Dassler, still pronounced as adi das in Germany today. Adi started his current Adidas factory in a small town called Herzogenaurach West Germany in 1947 with 47 employees, where he branded the 3 stripes for a football shoe. I was stationed in Nuremberg West Germany 10 miles to the south in 1985 and actually visited his plant near where we had an artillery unit at Herzo Base. Of course I got my first pair of adidas basketball shoes there, replacing my Chuckies. [/QUOTE]
