After 40 years of pretty much exclusively wearing Adidas shell-toes (thanks Run DMC!), Vans and Converse, my feet are fucked and I've had to come over to the dark side with some fitted fat-soled New Balance runners. Oh my! It's like walking on air and I love it lol
I just listened to the Stuff You Should Know about Adidas and Puma yesterday. It's really quite interesting. Adidas got it's start from Jesse Owens at the '36 Olympics.
Ooh...thanks for the podcast rec! Just subscribed. I'm currently working my way through the 500 episode backlog of No Such Thing As A Fish which is basically QI from the TV but with extra swearing :)
