Add a CommentThough the story of Adolf's and Rudolf's rivalry is compelling enough, even more fascinating is how their driven sons transformed sports shoe businesses into gigantic commercial institutions that they are today. Interesting tie-ins to the stories of Onitsuka, Nike and Reebok and their leaders.
