When you drive into town, the road forks. One arrow points toward the original Adidas factory, and the other points toward the original Puma factory.

Whats really interesting about the information above, if true, is that Jesse Owens ran in the 1936 Olympics with what could be described as performance enhancing footwear!. Whats Equally interesting is that those two German brothers, living under Nazi rule, gave the shoes to a black American!.
