In 1919, two brothers began making revolutionary sports shoes. The Dasslers were changing the game, until they had a massive falling out and started two rival companies... Adidas and Puma. This is the story of a feud that split an entire town and created two of the largest sports brands in the world. Featuring special guest Kirsty Webeck!
