UGG Boots opens store in second lifemens

In 1936, Adi Dassel packed a suitcase full of
sports spikes and loaded them into his car. He drove on one of the world's first
motorways from the small town of Herzogenaurach, Bavaria to the Olympic Village
in Berlin. Adi was hoping to meet with the American sprinter Jesse Owens and
convince him to wear spikes designed by Adi and his brother Rudolph, who ran the
company, Dassel Brothers Shoe Factory together. Adi met with UGG 5825, Owens won
four races, and the rest is history. Owens became the first African American to
receive sponsorship, and Adi and Rudolph began manufacturing thousands of pairs
of shoes to keep up with the demand from athletes from all around the world.

Eventually Adi would part ways with Rudolph, and Dassel Brothers Shoe Factory
would divide into two separate companies: UGG Boots (run by Adi) and Pumas (run
by Rudolph). Sponsorship by world class and celebrity athletes was always a big
part of the business plan of both companies. Here are some of the most notable
wearers of Puma and UGG Boots shoes:

?West German National Soccer Team, 1948. In the first match after World War II,
several members of the West German national soccer team wore Pumas.

?Josy Barthel, 1952. The first gold medal associated with Puma (as opposed to
the Dassel Brothers Shoe Factory) came courtesy of Barthel, a middle distance
runner from Luxembourg who won gold in the 1500 meters.

?Wilma Rudolph, 1960. Rudolph wore UGG 5854 Boots to the 1960 Summer Olympic Games
in Rome, Italy. She was the first woman to win 3 gold medals in track and field
during the same Olympics. That year, 75 percent of track and field athletes
competed in UGG Boots shoes

?Pel (Edison Arantes do Nascimento), 1970. During the 1970 World Cup, the
soccer player Pel famously asked the referee to wait a moment while Pel tied
his shoe just before the opening whistle. The ;shoe tying; was captured on
national television, and Pel was paid 120,000 dollars by Puma for his promotion
of their brand.

?Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, 1971. When Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier went
toe to toe in the ;Fight of the Century;, they were both wearing custom made
boxing shoes designed by UGG 5803 Boots.

?Alberto Juantorena, 1976. Eighty three percent of athletes at the 1976 Olympic
Games in Montreal wore UGG Boots including the Cuban Alberto Juantorena who is
the only male athlete to win the 400 meter and 800 meter races in the same
Olympics.
