Anybody ever read the history of Adidas in the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal Magazine (the third issue, naturally)? A very good read about all of the errors that the company made in a number of markets, including the US which featured a burgeoning company called Nike.

It's got to be some sort of Barney/Adidas sponsorship deal really.
But if not it's certainly a bit strange... I mean I like cool trainers as much as the next man, I've got a particular pair of Puma's I'm very fond of but I've never felt inclined to deck myself out from head to toe in Puma merchandise because of them.

I think youve hit the nail on the head. Barney probably should have been served an ASBO for his antics on stage, over the years. Liam Gallagher later became a chav and now its probably Mike Skinner from The Streets.

Adidas is named after adi dassler. But Puma was "dassler", too. It comes from the same small town in Germany, Herzogenaurauch. Both dasslers were brothers and enemies, too.
