Congratulations you just got into the first XI! Welcome to The Dassler 11th edition.

The Dassler: Number 11. Read on for enough 3 stripe goodness to satisfy the most obsessive adidas fanatic.

Lace up those Adidas Predators for our latest eleventh edition of The Dassler, the bi-monthly magazine especially written for (and by) adidas lovers.

In this issue-Scotty P talks about the miracle of the adidas Bern, the first part of the incredible 2005-6 World Cup Moments apparel range is dissected by Woody, Jason aka @adifanatics on Instagram shares his adidas Top Ten and Craig reviews the latest adidas drops of note, with some exclusives!

Firstly, a massive three-striped thank you for subscribing, it takes a lot of hours to research, write, source and edit The Dassler and your support is very much appreciated.

If this is your first visit then we’d highly recommend you run over to the very beginning (obvs wearing a pair of A-ZX collection runners )to the our earlier issues here.

This is the tenth in a twice monthly newsletter, that will contain ultra rare deadstock trainers, shared by genius adidas-historian Scott Ptolomey, new adidas releases & brand exclusive information from 3 stripe social media giant Craig (@adifamily_ ), adidas oddments & apparel reminiscences written by Woody (@dadidassler) plus loads of articles from special guest writers and we have some absolute adidas legends as guest writers lined up!

Why The Dassler? Obviously this newsletter is written for 3 stripe lovers (like ourselves!) and will contain as much adidas goodness as we can stuff in. The name of our newsletter is a homage to adidas founder Adolf (Adi) Dassler and an obvious reference to his dazzling adidas trainers (sneakers for our stateside readers).

We are hoping that you will see how much effort we put into this newsletter to continue subscribing for way less than a cup of coffee per month or even cheaper if you subscribe for the year.
