Business 101 - infiltrate the industry, gain legitimacy through hiring insiders, stomp the competition out, then fire everyone besides the execs and child laborers.[close]I love when I read dumb ass shit on SLAP. adidassler was founded years prior to the NAZI party and after the war split into PUMA and Adidas. It was founded by two brothers that became a part of the NAZI party, but to say it was “funded” by Nazi money is laughable. Everyone in Germany then that wasn’t a Jew was a NAZI and adhered to the NAZI doctrine or else it was death. Shit is laughable trying to discredit them like that. This is not fucking VW by any means. Also y’all realize information was so fucking compartmentalized back then because all you heard were a few prominent voices on the radio. There was no television or internet or phones or anything that allowed mass communication. People in America didn’t even know that fucking FDR was paralyzed. Even Judging these people by your standards is silly. Information was so compartmentalized and no one had any clue what was going on. Go read Mandela’s thoughts on apartheid(which modeled themselves as the NAZI party with even more compartmentalization). Y’all with modern age thinking I swear. I could write a fucking essay to this, but fucking hell.

The only Adidas I've ever liked came from the skate division of the company. Otherwise that company is for clone queers.
Hanz Up! Hoes down.

cheetah, every one of those shoes you posted is worse than the time i saw that picture of your dick when i wasn't expecting it
This makes me greatly dislike adidas, along with them cutting their snow program minus Jake Blauvelt. Too bad because I love the businetz, plus suciu, Silas, and Lucas are amazing. I'm having a moral dilemma.
Those fucking AdiNazis fled with all the gold. Thank fuck I never bought a pair.
Do you have more details about the snow program cuts? Jed literally just got on...

Because they were atrocious, here are the shell-toe versions for a reminder.
