Runner's Weekend - Adidas HQ - Germany

[@ajaybn]

Your video making skills have gone through the roof over the last couple of years. Top Notch

[@kofuzi]

thank you🙏

[@courtneyr.6680]

Agreed. Loved it. We lived in Europe for 3 years and I loved seeing this. Thanks for taking us along.

[@karatechop]

Having followed you since the early days, Kofuzi, it’s so cool to see literally where this channel’s taken you. With every new adventure, it feels like we’re along for the ride and that’s appreciated. Well done, once again!

[@kofuzi]

thanks for coming with me

[@RK-MODE]

I'm glad Adidas realizes you do a great job reviewing running gear and shoes and you always say nice, honest things about Adidas products. So cool that they flew you to Germany.

[@estebanmendoza6657]

OMG you are so blessed being involved and invited to such a great place, I am speechless. Happy for you. Finally you are being recognized for all your hard work in the running community.

[@kofuzi]

I was speechless too. the archive was unbelievable

[@fantaflesdopke]

Easily one of your best videos, you were really able to transfer the vibe onto screen! Amazing footage from an amazing place 🙂 Thx for sharing!!

[@tonybowen455]

This one felt like a milestone video.

[@FordyRuns]

My hero has gone global! Love this that you in Europe 👊

[@akapantsusenpai181]

Looks like an awesome experience. There's a reason Puma is located across from Adidas. Both brands were created by the Dassler brothers after a falling out between them. One brother (Rudolf) created Puma. The other (Adolf) created Adidas.

[@katydid5088]

I wish Adolf wouldn't have had such a horrible falling out for naming conventions sake. (I like the name not the dictator). Naming your kid after the WWII leader is a one way stop to being put on a watch list by the teachers and social workers for a welfare check and seeing whether or not your a white supremacist.

[@amazanto]

Loved it! Thank you, Kofuzi!

[@rc51bigdaddy]

Wow what an incredible video! Best video I have seen you do. Adidas was very smart to invite you as they got a lot of good PR out of it. Must be so cool to get an invitation like that based on what you are doing on social media. Congratulations!

[@sun.2801]

What a cool city and Adidas campus. The stonework and shoe video wall - each notable in their own way. Great trip!

[@kofuzi]

my mind is still overstimulated

[@finsterwaldfuchs-qw7lv]

Nice to see you running part of my everyday-track alongside the Pegnitz, hope you liked it! And you even met Heiko from the development team at Adidas (a friend of our family…). Sometimes the world is really a „small place“. Greetings from Nuremberg - keep on running!

[@kofuzi]

good people know good people. and runners are good people

[@RodRunerr]

Nothing more interesting than runners weekend with kofuzi, I'm coming to watch this after supper ❤️

[@kofuzi]

hope you enjoy!

[@RodRunerr]

@@kofuzi sure, absolute masterpiece ❤️

[@kevinlemanquais2006]

That's awesome. Germany has more castles than any other place in the world. There's so much history and places to visit. Good luck to you.

[@bobmarshall7271]

I hope you get invited to every other shoe HQ after this! Super interesting to get a behind-the-scenes look like this.

[@kofuzi]

that would be fun

[@aidanoc19]

Maybe it's a European thing but I've always had a fondness for adidas and they gave me a few shoes to test for R&D back in the day. Some researcher there had studied at the same university I ran for in Ireland and sent a batch over. That looks like such a cool place.

[@kofuzi]

it really is. I can't imagine working here

[@Supafloppy]

Kofuzi, you just know how to deliver such an epic experience. What an adventure and privilege to hold some of the best athlete's shoes. Really looking forward to your discussion about those new products. 😬

[@kofuzi]

I'm not sure why, but the Edwin Moses spike really struck a chord with me

[@leonaleewong]

You created another amazing runner's weekend vid. loved experiencing beautiful Germany and the stunning Adidas HQ through your artistic eyes and descriptive narrative!

[@kofuzi]

thanks Leona!

[@runningwithaj]

As always, that was so much fun. Loved the shots of the Adidas building and the walls of the city. Magnificent!

[@kofuzi]

really quite impressive

[@JochenKurbjuweit]

Hope to see you again back here in Germany for one of our marathons: Berlin is a must! - Munich is wonderful too !!!

[@kofuzi]

I've been trying to get into Berlin for years. I think my best bet is to go for the speedy runners option in a few more years. I'll just need to lower my marathon PR by about 4 minutes when I hit the 45+ age group

[@Run4un]

Beautiful archive segment!

[@kofuzi]

it was my favorite part of the trip

[@tnan123]

Really cool to see the history and archive stuff.

[@steve2271]

Fantastic documentary filmmaking-editing, narration, music all on point. Wonderful storytelling, easy to watch, nice flow.

[@scheddar2733]

Gorgeous city, your running through beautiful landscapes was what first got me hooked to your channel (your Chicago runs in winter are still my favorite and what caused me to fall in love with that city). If you ever get tired reviewing shoes, you'd have a whole new group of subscribers who would sign up for a running/traveling vlog. Great job!

[@kofuzi]

I do love making the run travel vlogs

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

What a privilege being able to explore the facilities and getting to know the history of the brand better. Thanks for sharing the journey

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Man that looked like so much fun! Loved the history and seeing all the "retro" gear.

[@davebelcher8374]

Almost got a little teary during the trip through the archive. So many personal memories tied up in a lot of those artifacts!

[@laurainthehaute918]

Yes! Was same for me. From Jessie Owens on, felt profound.

[@IRunThings]

Oh man. So jealous right now. Adidas are my favorite brand of running shoes. I concur with what everyone else is saying. Superb videography man. Beautiful video

[@briansleepylee]

How cool is this experience!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@kouvang6256]

Always love the runners weekend videos you do, and of course all the videos. Thanks for taking me (and all other viewers) along on this journey. Keep bringing us great content.

[@kofuzi]

thanks for coming along with me

[@svenja5596]

I live an hour away from adidas HQ but I've never been there.. what an amazing place! 😃 Hope you enjoyed Germany! Great video 👍

[@pbnotj1]

Love watching these videos for treadmill work outs :-) thanks for the content , hoping for some great stuff from adidas love their pro foam models .

[@bobbywrenn9510]

Wow, just Wow!!! I can only imagine the feeling of seeing all that stuff in the archive. Looks like an incredible trip!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@kofuzi]

I was speechless

[@Runsawayalot]

You have to go back. Not to Nuremberg but maybe for Berlin Marathon 2023! 🤞

[@GreyJedi17]

I’m so happy for you I’m so inspired Also a little bit envious. Adidas HQ looks so amazing.

[@DJYRedbirds]

What an amazing film! Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching!

[@Mikee013]

You are living out my dreams! These are always my favorite type of content from you.

[@kofuzi]

thank you!

[@onursariyildiz3522]

What a great video, happy for you, that you could make this experience! This video was like a walk through memory lane for me and made me really miss working for Adi in Herzo !!

[@angelarodriguez8118]

Germany is my absolute favorite country❤️

[@allstarpriscilla]

I always look forward to your videos! I appreciate the technical knowledge you provide and your passion for the sport (which radiates in every video). Thank you!

[@kofuzi]

thank you for the kind feedback!

[@AntTN5]

Well done Sir - what a great video. Loved it. Very much looking forward to learning about all the super-secret gear you weren't able to show us.

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching!

[@blackadar]

The shoe reviews and LS are fun and informative, but Runner's Weekends continue to be the star of the show. Awesome video Ko!

[@kofuzi]

thank you so much!

[@simondion1521]

Big fan of their running jacket. Very interesting to see adidas HQ in Germany.

[@jw_asia]

Love Nuremberg and Herzo. Another great presentation! I've been to adidas HQ many times but never into the vault. Thanks for sharing.

[@kofuzi]

the archive was quite a space

[@jw_asia]

@@kofuzi 👉👊👈

[@kevinsandersks]

You got lot's of fans in Germany. Hope you come over again soon. Keep it tight.

[@kofuzi]

hope to be back soon!

[@fcv1967]

I started C25K the beginning of the year. I'm almost up to 30 min of running without walking. Your channel is a nice topic to watch after a run while eating pizza and protein shake.

[@laurainthehaute918]

Congrats to you for a great start. This is the place to come if you love running!

[@kofuzi]

that's great progress! keep going!

[@susanwiggins6309]

[@staciejefferson5068]

Dope. What a cool opportunity to go and check out the HQ. Thanks for sharing…

[@kofuzi]

it was a very exciting trip

[@Miasmiatic]

I loved the archive footage! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@kofuzi]

I could have spent days there

[@earlaverilla9250]

Excited on what you have said on the last part. Adidas is currently a bit underwhelming in their daily trainer technology and it seems they're cooking up something new. Adidas, if they set their full effort on something, they might come up with another game changer. Fingers-crossed the daily trainers are in it.

[@michaeltanel3815]

They could also use a real recovery shoe option...

[@GillFisherRunningMySpace]

What an amazing experience for you! You must be over the moon! Adidas was the first running shoe I ran in back when I did cross-country. Awesome video, I can't wait to hear more!

[@kofuzi]

it was a wonderful trip

[@McFearless80]

Germany looks awesome.

[@TheKobaltBlue]

It's really cool that you got to visit the Adidas HQ. Their Energy Boost and Ultraboost (except 22) have been my go to running shoes for years. I hope I like the new lightweight Ultraboost that just came out.

[@kofuzi]

it looks like there is more foam in the forefoot than in some prior versions, and with the lighter weight, it does look like an interesting possibility

[@RoORou]

Awesome video @kofuzi. Love it. The best running related KZbin channel around.legend. Thank You!

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching!

[@ricardotarango6282]

My favorite part of the video is at 19:00. Great video.

Love these Runners Weekend, keep them coming, Michael, let's gooo ///

I've said it before and I'll say it again - love the Runner's Weekend videos! This one was really cool. Thanks for sharing :)

such a cool runners weekend edition from you! my favorite yet!

[@kofuzi]

thanks so much!

[@stefanzitz8635]

Super nice to see my old running track along the Pegnitz being showcased in such a cinematic way :) Nürnberg is a nice city, was a blast to live there, although traffic sucks^^

[@kofuzi]

it was such a serene place to run

[@_lesnak]

holy moly. great to see you moving up in the world. I remember when you barely had 4 digits of subs

[@spenceraronfeld4456]

Mike this was amazing. I wish we could know more about the things they are doing and how they are doing it. Glad you shared this with us.

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching!

[@freedolean]

Thanks for the super interesting presentation! Very entertaining and pleasant to listen to 👌

[@kofuzi]

people tell me my voice is very calming and that they fall asleep when they hear me talk

[@freedolean]

@@kofuzi Don't listen to people who abuse you as a coffee substitute! You can really do without this audience... You were sovereign like you could hardly do better! The breaks were set correctly and the tempo matched the content. If that also corresponds to your natural way of articulating yourself, then stick with it and don't let yourself be bent!

[@AndrewMosc]

Great content again. We have full faith in you providing feedback to Adidas on their lack of daily shoe offerings!

[@jakes1881]

Nuremberg is an amazing city. It's pretty close to a couple Army bases. That definitely gives it a bit of a touristy feel at times.

[@kofuzi]

I hope I can go back sometime soon

[@Elmo6855]

Excellent!

[@嘿嘿嘿-z1v]

the archive is so amazing to visit 👍👍👍

[@kofuzi]

feeling quite grateful

[@JohnWesonga]

As a “one coffee man” and not later than 11am your ability to down 3+ cups and still sleep is hilarious! 😂

[@kofuzi]

my body was so confused with the late afternoon coffee and the time zone change

[@vincewarne228]

The run filming was cool as. Good work

[@kofuzi]

thanks!

[@freerunspeed2165]

That forest you were running in was on my route to work at adidas HQ. I generally ran or biked to work every day from my home that was roughly 10K from the HQ

[@kofuzi]

that must be a very pleasant commute

Another great video Kofuzi! andddd now I’m also craving German pretzel at 6am

[@kofuzi]

I love a good pretzel

[@QnA22]

Based on the Innovation Lab, could you maybe go more in depth on Treadmills? Best shoes, differences on running outdoors, clothing/socks even? Great vid, Adidas made it a great day for you, but also for us, the viewers. Eyecandy.

[@axlrosea675]

Amazing, Michael! Finally you've made it to Germany, it makes me wish I could've run with you in Nürnberg. Great Video, too, you've become such a pro at filming and editing. Well, do come back soon. Thanks for the video and kindest regards from the Bavarian capital, München (Munich).

hoping I can do a proper group run next time I'm in Germany

Great footage as usual.
