In Italy the Pedrollo pump company was started by two brothers in 1974. They fell out and one brother started Pentax pumps in 1989. Both are very successful and global...

[@royisdabest]

imagine what wouldve happened if they hadnt split up.

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

I bet they would have invented something so amazing that I would not even need feet anymore.

[@dumbb6178]

I think splitting up was needed, because If they were still merged it could be dysfunctional for the company.

[@honolulublues5548]

@@dumbb6178 not only that, but if they didn't have that passionate rivalry they might have been content on a smaller slice of the pie and not expanded as much.

I would say that their quality of construction and materials, particularly the higher-end leather models, Samba, Busenitz, Mondial Goal etc. Exceptional value and quality, especially when ordering online for sales.

this proves wealth is dangerous it literally split to brothers. Now they are both wealthy but it costs them family. Family>Money ALWAYS!

[@virgilthemob1242]

Interesting feud, but I'll stick to my Nikes. I've worn either Adidas or Puma for most of my childhood and I've found both to be kinda prone to tears and sole cracks. But if I had to pick one, Pumas always felt like better value and had cooler designs, plus they make really great driving shoes and motorsports merch, so they'd be my go-to.

Kapitan Germany: Shoe Apparel War

[@TheTitaniumSkull]

Born in Germany in 65, raised most my life there and was all into Adidas. Even been to the factory in 75. But I have banished adidas the day I saw a pair with the label having "made in china" on it. The day they make all their shoes in Germany again is the day I will consider buying them again.

[@rakin_8978]

What do you wear now?

[@therealking6202]

I'm an adidas man through and through, starting with the Copa's in the early 90s. I had the World Cup screw-ins where you would get that little wrench to change studs, the Kangaroo Copas, the Australian and Brazilian Copas, and dozens of casual/running shoes. Actually, 8 need a new pair of shoes. MY ADIDAS....

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

Amazing history lesson and business analysis! I love both of those brands! But I'd always pick Adidas over Nike and Jordan

[@baosli]

I like how you put the United States at the top of the Allies 😂

[@companyman114]

It was in no particular order.

[@PongoXBongo]

I love the way Pumas wrap around under the sides of your feet. Their shoes fit like a glove (sock?) instead of just rattling around on your foot like the competition.

[@BargainBinkey]

You know, that “thanks for watching” sounded a little disingenuous, so I think I’ll be taking my half of Company Man and starting my own channel called Business Dudez
