To this day, the remnants of the Nazi Party Rally Grounds in the southeast corner of Nuremberg stand as a powerful and haunting reminder of the megalomania that characterized the National Socialist regime. The colossal structures, designed to impress and demonstrate the regime's power, continue to awe visitors with their immense scale. This area of 4 square miles was intended to serve as a grand backdrop for the Nazi rallies, reinforcing the regime's propaganda and showcasing its strength not only to the German people but to the world at large.
Meanwhile, in the 1920s, a small, yet significant, story of innovation and determination was unfolding in the quiet town of Herzogenaurach, Bavaria. Adolf Dassler, or Adi as he was known, began crafting sports shoes in the kitchen of his mother's house after his return from World War I. His passion for sports and the desire to create better footwear led to the birth of a brand that would eventually revolutionize the sports industry. In 1927, Adi founded his company, marking the beginning of a legacy that would span decades.
A pivotal moment in Dassler's career came during the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, where Adi Dassler ventured to the Olympic Village to meet with African American sprinter Jesse Owens. Owens, who would go on to win four gold medals at the games, became the first African American athlete to be sponsored by the Dassler brothers. Owens’ victories not only defied the racist ideologies of the time but also confirmed the quality and performance of Dassler shoes on the world stage.
