Beschreibung

Nike vs Adidas chronicles the captivating rivalry between two sportswear giants, born from a German family feud, that reshaped the sports industry and popular culture. The book explores how Adidas initially dominated through early Olympic sponsorships, while Nike later disrupted the market with innovative marketing, particularly through athlete endorsements like Michael Jordan. This intense competition fueled product innovation and brand building, impacting everything from athletic apparel design to our understanding of sports marketing.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, beginning with the Dassler family's shoemaking origins and the subsequent split that created Adidas and Puma. It then examines Adidas' early Olympic success, followed by Nike's explosive entry into the market. Later chapters focus on specific aspects of their competition, such as technological innovations, marketing battles, and the cultural impact of their brands.

 
Ultimately, Nike vs Adidas provides valuable insights into business strategy and the power of branding, while also addressing ongoing debates about labor practices within the sportswear industry.

The Big Book of Baseball Stories...

Jeff Silverman

As abundant and layered as the National Pastime itself, The Big Book of Baseball Stories takes the listener on a rich journey that circles the bases of the game's history and literature—its Giants, its dramas, its tragedies, and its laughs—as it rolls through the typewriters of some of the game's mightiest scribes, from Walt Whitman and Mark Twain to Grantland Rice and Ring Lardner, even Abbott and Costello. Rediscover the feats of Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, and Frank Merriwell; bask in the prose of P.G. Wodehouse, Paul Gallico, and Zane Gray; and dive into the very mystery of the meaning of the seventh-inning stretch. 
 
 
 
If you love baseball, you'll love The Big Book of Baseball Stories. Whitman called baseball "our game . . . America's game." It was then. It still is. The words within these pages invite you to remember why.

Follow the Buzzards - Pro...

Keith Elliot Greenberg

Industry expert Keith Elliot Greenberg chronicles pro wrestling through the most memorable, controversial, and polarizing period of the last two decades

As a new decade dawned, 2020 was supposed to be the best year to be a wrestling fan. Finally, WWE had serious competition in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), and there were viable secondary promotions and a thriving international indie scene. Few in the industry realized that in China, a mysterious virus had begun to spread. By the time a pandemic was declared in March, the business — and the world — was in disarray. For the first time, pro wrestling was no longer seen as escapism, as real-world events intruded on the fantasy. Still, when everything else shut down, wrestling never went away. Despite cancellations and empty arena shows, there were great innovations, like the cinematic match — battles shot to look like movies — and the “ThunderDome,” which replicated the live experience with fan faces surrounding the ring on LED screens. On the indie circuit, matches were held outdoors with spectators separated into socially distanced pods. The entire time, New York Times bestselling author and historian Keith Elliot Greenberg was chronicling the scene, juxtaposing pro wrestling developments with actual news events like the U.S. presidential election and Brexit. The result, Follow the Buzzards: Pro Wrestling in the Age of COVID-19, captures the dread, confusion, and spontaneous creativity of this uncertain era while exploring the long-term consequences.
