The story of Adidas and Puma
Adidas and Puma are two of the biggest shoe brands today, but few people know the story of these companies. In this article, we will find out how Puma and Adidas were founded and why such famous companies conflicted for so many years.
Everything started with two German brothers, Adolf “Adi” and Rudolph “Rudi” Dassler, both of whom were shoemakers. At first, they made sneakers in the laundry room of their parents' home. Together, the brothers' traits made an excellent combination. Adi had an artistic and quiet personality, while Rudi was the extroverted salesman dealing with purchases and clients. So, while Adi created the sneakers, Rudi communicated with customers and developed their business.
With time, the brothers established their own shoe company. By 1927, Dassler already hired 12 employees. Everything would have stayed the same if the brothers hadn't sold sneakers to Jesse Owens, an American athlete who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics. After that, Dassler's sales skyrocketed and the brothers' company met with great success.
Even so, the tension between the brothers intensified, although nobody knew exactly why. One of the theories suggests that it was all about a possible romance between Rudolf and Adi's wife. In any case, in 1948, the Dassler company split.
Adi Dassler named his company Adidas from the first syllable of his name and surname. Rudi called his company Ruda but later changed the name to Puma. Half of the Dassler company workers stayed with Rudolf, and half went to the Adi factory.
During the Second World War, Rudi remodelled his factory to make parts for tanks, whereas Adi refused to produce weapons in his factory in protest of the war. Over time, the competition between Adi and Rudi intensified and affected the whole town. People often worked only for Adi or Rudi, and many local businesses served only either Adidas or Puma employees. It is known that Puma and Adidas families even went to separate bakeries, and visited their own butchers and pubs.
This tension between the companies continued throughout the years. The brothers' long-standing dispute affected the next generation of Puma and Adidas workers. In 2009, the companies finally tried to forget about the past and organised a friendly game to proclaim of peace. It took place on United Nations World Peace Day. The Adidas CEO, Herbert Hainer, and the Puma CEO, Jochen Zeitz, also took part.
In this article, we will find out how Puma and Adidas were founded and why such famous companies conflicfought/competed for so many years.
Together, the brothers' traits together made an excellent combination.
Adi had an artistic and quiet penchant for art but a reserved personality, while Rudi was the extroverted salesman, dealing with purchases and clients.
After that, Dassler's sales skyrocketed and great success came to the brotherthe brothers' company met with great success.
During the Second World War, Rudi retooconverted/remodelled his factory to make parts for tanks, whereas Adi resisted going to the armyconscription/ the draft and producinged weapons in his factory.
Over time, the competition between Adi and Rudi increased (better: intensified) and affected the whole town.

"conflicted" is also OK, yes?

nice rephrasing, I like it ❤️

During the Second World War, Rudi retooconverted/remodelled his factory to make parts for tanks, whereas Adi resisted going to the armyconscription/ the draft and producinged weapons in his factory.
In this sentence I wanted to say that Adi refused to produce weapon in his factory. Is the meaning still will be the same if I approve your corrections?
"..whereas Adi resisted conscription and produced weapons in his factory"
I'm not sure just :)

thank you so much for your help and comments! 😊❤️

"conflicted" is also OK, yes?
Technically yeah, but I felt that the other two words would flow better in this case. Alternatively you can also say "clashed"

Ahh ok then you can say "Adi refused to produce/manufacture weapons in his factory in protest of the war.

Might be better to specify that the excellent combination is the traits together, not their traits in general.
Adi had an artistic and quiet personality, while Rudi was the extroverted salesman, dealing with purchases and clients.
So, while Adi created the sneakers, Rudi communicated with customers and developed their business.
With time the brothers established their own shoe company.
By 1927 Dassler had already had 12 employees.
Word order
Everything would behave stayed the same if the brothers hadn't sold sneakers to Jesse Owens, an American athlete who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics.
After that, Dassler sales skyrocketed and great success came to them brothers.
One of the theories suggests that it was all about a possible romance between Rudolf and Adi's wife.
More correct to include "that"
In any case, in 1948, the Dassler company split.
Adi Dassler named his company Adidas, from the first syllable of his name and surname.
Rudi named his company Ruda, but later changed the name to Puma.
Half of the Dassler company workers stayed with Rudolf, and half went to the Adi factory.
Over time, the competition between Adi and Rudi increased and affected the whole town.
People often worked only for Adi or Rudi, and many local businesses served only either Adidas or Puma peopleemployees.
Use "either" to make clear it is one or the other.
"Puma employees" is better than "Puma people".
It is known that the families of Puma and Adidas familiemployees even went to separate bakeries, and visited their own butchers and pubs.
This tension between the companies continued throughout the years.
The brothers' long-standing dispute affected the next generation of Puma and Adidas workers.
In 2009, the companies finally tried to forget about the past and organised a friendly game as a symbol of peace.
The game took place on United Nations World Peace Day.
The CEO of Adidas boss, Herbert Hainer, and Puma's CEO, Jochen Zeitz, also took part.

thank you, I know about "either" but it is still hard for me to include this useful word in my texts ❤️ I simply forget 😭

Parentheses are not necessary here :)
Also, great job using whom and not who.
FAt first, they made sneakers in the laundry room of their parents' home.

Great job using the apostrophe for the plural of "brother." Perfectly done.
Adi had an artistic and quiet personality, while Rudi was the extroverted salesman, dealing with purchases and clients.

This is a weird rule that we have in English regarding listing things where two things are formatted the same but the first one isn't. The first action uses went, and the second and third use visited. It's similar to how I said, "and the second and third" instead of saying ", second and third". Respond to this if you need further explanation.

Extremely well written. You can barely even tell it's not written by a native.

Ah, that's interesting. It would be great if you can show a couple of more examples in the context of sentences ❤️

thank you so much for your help with this text, it was interesting and useful! Thank you also for your appraise for my level, it is inspiring 😊

Sure.
"I am going to go out to eat this weekend, and I'll walk to the shop and the bakery"
"When I have extra free time I like to read books and play basketball and baseball"
"During the winter, I ski down mountains and snowboard down hills and across the flat ground"
Because the last two nouns use the same verb but the first doesn't, you separate it with "and"
Nov. 4, 2022

Yeah, this is a tricky one to rewrite. Nothing quite sounds perfectly natural.

it's a great examples! I finally understood with your help how to use these commas, thank you so much. I struggled with them for a long time 😂 🙏

An another editor here offered me this option: "why companies conflicted for so many years". I think the verb resolved my problem wit this word 😊
