Adi dassler started out as a baker, but his real passion was making sport shoes. the selection of images are shoes from adi’s first company, ‘gebruder dasher schuhfabrik’, currently known as adidas. fthe series includes track and field shoes, which range from sprint to long jump cleats from the 1920s — some of which were worn in gold medal performances at various olympic venues from the 1920-30's.

above is adi dassler’s first sprint shoe, one of his first patents from the german trade mark office in 1925. the cleat was developed for sprinting and middle distance running up to 800m and has a bio-mechanically designed pitch of 60mm. the materials include an upper made of goatskin, an insole made of chrome splits, and the outsole and ‘spike plates’ made of vegetable tanned leather (vache leather).

georg lammers won bronze in amsterdam in 1928 in the 100 m, and silver in the 4 x 100 m relay. what is special about this shoe is the use of one of the first ‘screw systems’ in athletics. six hand-wrought spikes, into which a thread was later cut, are pressed through the pre-punched outsole from the inside and then screwed in with a hexagonal, slightly concave steel disc. this attaches the spikes firmly to the outsole. the disadvantages are the weight of the metal parts and the difficult screwing process. the system was therefore only used for a limited period. the double-riveted metal plate supports the forefoot and distributes the spike pressure.materials: the upper is made of black box calf. the 1.5 mm thick insole and the 3 mm thick outsole are made of vegetable tanned bottom leather (vache leather).dassler developed the shoe in close cooperation with jo (josef) waitzer, who was at that time the german national coach for athletics. the priority for the shoe was the lightest possible weight. the eyelet cut-out stretching all the way to the toe makes it possible to snugly fit the shoe to the foot by lacing. in order to save weight, the outsole is split extremely thin at 4 mm. the same is true of the 1.5 mm thick insole. a triple riveted metal plate stiffens the sole in the forefoot area and enables improved pressure distribution of the spikes.helene schmidt won the olympic bronze medal in the german 4 x 100 m relay team in amsterdam in 1928. she ran the second leg. the innovative plastic/synthetic overlay in the forefoot area stabilizes whilst distributing the spike pressure. the hand-wrought spikes are fixed in place with soft pressed-on metal discs.materials: the upper is made of goatskin. the insole is made of chrome splits, and the outsole of vegetable tanned bottom leather(vache leather).custom-made specialist shoe for hans woellke, gold medal winner in shot put at the 1936 olympic games in berlin. as the ring was on natural soil, six hand-wrought spikes were attached to the forefoot area. additional stability is provided in the metatarsus area by means of a broad leather facing and a stitched-in internal twill strip. the forefoot area is stiffened by a long, riveted-in steel plate.materials: the upper and facings are made of cow hide and the back lining is split leather. the tongue is felt-lined and the forefoot is reinforced with a twill strip. insole, midsole and outsole are made of vegetable tanned bottom leather (vache leather). the heel lift is made of natural crepe.it was with these custom-made specialist shoes that german hammer thrower karl hein won gold at the 1936 olympic games in berlin. as throwing circles were on natural soil, six 8mm hand-wrought spikes were affixed in the forefoot area and three 8mm spikes in the heel area. forefoot and heel seat portion are stiffened with riveted metal plates on the bottom of the sole and a steel shank on the underside of the insole.materials: the upper is made of supple cow hide, the lining at the heel seat of calf leather. the eyelets are brass. insole, outsole and heel lift are made of vegetable tanned bottom leather (vache leather).it was in this shoe, made especially for him, that four-time gold medal winner james cleveland (J.C. or jesse) owens won gold in the 200 m and the 4 x 100 m relay in berlin in 1936. to make the tread surface as wide as possible, the six thin spikes are inclined outwards. the spike lengths were graduated according to the athlete’s specifications, from 15 mm at the ball to 17 mm at the toe. an outsole made of chrome splits saves on weight and increases flexibility. no metal plate was added in the forefoot area. the small eyelets and the thin lace also serve to reduce the weight.materials: the upper is made of specially tanned calf leather, and the facings of cow hide. the insole and spike plate are made of vegetable tanned bottom leather (vache leather). the outsole is made of chrome splits. the asymmetric heel lift is made of natural crepe. the spikes are hand-wrought.
