"How To Beat Nike" by Seth Stevenson

Originally in the NY Times Magazine, also found here:

Focuses on Nike, adidas, Puma and New Balance.

One thing I learned- adidas is lower case, and pronounced, as industry people say, AH-di-DAHSS.

I'm probably a cross between Gearhead and Fastidious Eclectus- just love those Sambas.

In case you didn't know, the name adidas is derived from the maker of the shoes, a German gentelman by the name of Adi Dassler.
