In this episode, we uncover the fascinating true story of Adolf and Rudolf Dassler, two brothers who went from working together in their mother’s laundry room to founding rival global brands: Adidas and Puma. Their bitter feud not only split their hometown of Herzogenaurach, Germany, but also sparked a decades-long rivalry that shaped the modern sportswear industry.
