A visit at the Adidas Archive

When I visited Herzogenaurach to contribute to the 50 years of 
Superstar exhibition, I of course could not stop myself from also 
saying hello to the wonderful archive team.

I am sure it is not surprising that the Adidas archive is my favorite 
place to visit on the HQ campus and the ladies were so kind to 
put together a small selection of shoes I might like.
Here are some photos I shot in the holy halls.

True Originals Book

In October 2013, Marlon Knispel from Berlin contacted Ernie Beckmannand asked him if 

he wanted to contribute to his planned adidas book "True Originals". 

The book should be a homage to the good times of adidas, in which the best adidas 

models (his opinion) from 1970 to 1993 would be presented. Since Marlon is of the 

opinion that he himself is not able to write texts, he asked Ernie if he could put his 

interviews and research results in a textual form and translate it to English. 

He was interested and we went to work. The result is a book that will be released next 

September. 

In order to be able to pay the printing, Marlon needed about € 3000, which we wanted to 

collect on kickstarter. 

The goal has already been reached, but feel free to contribute.

They are happy about any kind of support.... financially or by sharing the kickstarter page 

on your social media feeds...

A first peek at things in the making

tick a major point off my bucket list!
