Impossible is nothing
I am an Adidas fan and ever since I saw the video about Adolf (Adi) Dassler I have a bunch of dilemmas in my pretty little head.
The video (I’m sure you already saw it) is this one:
First of all the year that adidas was founded seems to be somewhere between 1948 - 1949 (sources mention both years). On their official site the registration date is 18 August 1949. That suites me because it means adidas and me are both Lions. 
Still, Adolf and his brother Rudolf (who later formed his own company now know as Puma) were producing these shoes since 1924.
My main concern are the three stripes. I always taught that the initial logo of Adidas was the one that is currently used for their Sport Heritage collection.
I mean this one:
All the original adidas clothing in the 90s had this logo. I know for sure!
In the video I mentioned and you have seen they say that adidas always had the three stripes as a logo. Yes, the three stripes were created to keep the foot stable. And formerly became the logo itself. But when? I feel there is a link missing here. Or in my mind.
I must admit I have an eye for these three stripes. And I’m totally against sports’ wear having more or less stripes. I hate fake stuff. And especially when they are faking adidas.
Now I know. The two logos differentiate the Sport Heritage division from the Sport performance division. It’s as clear as pure water. Or isn’t it?
I’m curious why the Y3 collection never was imported to Romania…

O sa incerc incerc sa raspund la intrebarea “de ce nu este importata colectia Y3 in Romania?”(daca mai e valabila).Compania adidas AG are trei divizii:adidas Performance(the three stripes logo), adidas Originals(haine exclusiv de strada,logo trifoiul pe care il cunosti tu) si adidas Style(divizia de lux, produsele fac parte dintr-o colectie exclusivista facuta in colaborare cu designerul japonez Yohji Yamamoto-Y3-,aceste produse costa de la cateva sute de euro in sus si magazine adidas Style se gasesc numai in orasele mari ale lumii sau in cele care au o vanzare deosebita-intre noi fie vorba Romania sta jenant la vanzari comparabil cu Europa de Vest, SUA sau chiar Turcia;asadar nu o sa ne putem bucura prea curand de toate minunatiile adidas si preturile o sa ramana in continuare destul de ridicate-).Si eu sunt fan adidas si incerc sa pun pe picioare un blog dedicat adidas-ului, dar momentan sunt putin ocupat si mai dureaza putin pana il pun la punct.Sper ca ti-am fost de foos si daca mai ai alte intrebari feel free to ask.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03056920903110810557 -acesta e un link la blogul meu(sper-sunt nou si mai am multe de invatat)

Hello
Stiam ca Yohji este autorul colectiei dar adevarul este ca am putut-o admira doar pe site-ul adidas, nu m-am gandit ce preturi are si cat de bine s-ar potrivi profilului cumparatorului roman.
Te felicit pentru initiativa ta de a porni un blog despre adidas! Sper sa ai succes
Eu te sustin de pe acum si poate si colaboram

Multumesc pentru mesaje.Imi place blogul tau si cred ca ma poti ajuta cu niste sfaturi mai ales in ceea ce priveste structura blogului.Eu incerc sa umplu un mare gol al adidas Romanaia, faptul ca nu au o baza de date comuna.Sunt persoane care cauta anumite modele colectie de colectie si umbla disperati din magazin in magazin,poate,poate apar undeva..In plus as vrea sa fie putin mai informati cand merg sa cumpere un produs adidas.Am fost martor intr-o zi la o intamplare cand un client care dorea sa cumpere pantofi pentru tenis, proba cu zel pantofi de sala pentru volei.Cu ocazia aceasta mai aflam si cate ceva despre adidas, inclusiv eu.
