Herzogenaurach and Oregon, 1900 to 1980. In a Bavarian washhouse a cobbler's son begins making running shoes for people he watches run, and eighty years later a company in Beaverton sells the finished form of that idea to a country that has started jogging. Between the two stand a world war that put both Dassler brothers' factory to work for the army that lost, a feud that split one small town into two shoe companies, an Oregon track coach who cut his athletes' shoes apart to make them lighter, and an accounting student who flew to Kobe with no company and told a room of Japanese executives that he had one. The shoe is the one garment sold as equipment, and this is how it got that way. Covers Adi Dassler, Rudolf Dassler, Bill Bowerman, Philip Knight, Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik, Puma, and Adidas.
