The 700 patents of the creator of Adidas
One thing is certain: the founder of Adidas innovated relentlessly until his death. Adidas holds over 700 patents! The first cutting-edge innovation attributed to Adolf Dassler? Running shoes equipped with springs, conceived in 1925. It's fair to say that the founder of Adidas conquered the world! He came a long way from creating his first shoe at the age of 20 with a few scraps of leather, difficult to find given the post-war period, to developing, a year before his death in 1977, a dual-material shoe sole. His passion and pursuit of perfection led him to excel in his field. He is considered the founder of the sporting goods industry.
