The Dassler: Number 21. Read on for enough three stripe goodness to satisfy the most obsessive adidas fanatic.
Welcome to The Dassler, Twenty-first edition.
Thank you for reading our latest edition of The Dassler, the bi-monthly magazine especially written for (and by) adidas lovers.
Firstly a big hello to a few subscribers that we met at the recent Laces Out! Event in Liverpool. It was an absolute privilege to talk to Cardiff Dan, Goody from Leeds (get writing about adidas!), Shaggy Hair Ant, Camper Van Man Keith (cheers for the lift!) and of course Andy Gwalia (more from him later). It makes writing this so worthwhile, when you all had such positive things to say about The Dassler-thank you 🙏.
In this issue, a trip to the Spezial Exhibition in Newcastle, a retro reminisce of the first adidas x KK Retrograde Resistance capsule from 2013 by Woody, welsh wonder and super bloke, Andy from Gwalia Classics (@Gwalia on X ) reveals his adidas Top Ten Tracksuits 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 ZX runners )to the our earlier issues here.
This is a twice monthly newsletter, that will contain ultra rare deadstock trainers, new adidas releases & brand exclusive information from 3 stripe social media giant Craig (@adifamily_ *X & Insta*), adidas oddments & apparel reminiscences written by Woody (@dadidassler *X* & Insta) 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 to continue subscribing for way less than a cup of coffee per month or even cheaper if you subscribe for the year.
