i thought the 7406 was replacing the copa because wasent 1974 when they first started making it and 2006 when they were going to quit making it?

Dec 27 2005, 11:22 PM
I thought it was something to do with the world cup and it being in germany

It's something to do with the boots having the style of '74 and the technology of '06...for example a Traxion bottom on and calf-skin boot.

First it was the Dassler Bros. shoe company (or something like this) in 1920. After WW2 they split up. Adolf (aka Adi) Dassler founded adidas and Rudolf Dassler founded PUMA. They have the HQ in the same little city from Germany called Herzogenaurach verry close to Nurenberg and it seems like 'a battle' is going one between families that work at adidas and families that work at PUMA (that is a rumour thow).

Newcastle United
Chelsea F.C. - As of 2006/07 Season.
Liverpool F.C. - As of July 2006 (?) there is no smoke without fire....

thats weird imo, but I see what they probly did with liverpool because they are sponsered by reebok and adidas just bought reebok

maybe something to do with that, but whats up with Chelsea on the list

Dec 29 2005, 07:15 PM
yea, manugirl, but on the story, it was actually posted in i think eurosport a couple years back. but i though it was adi dassler and rudi dassler.
and they wernt allowed to use the family name (dassler) in there company name.

Dec 29 2005, 07:18 PM
Correct again, Adidas just bought Reebok so they can compete with Nike in the US, in turn, it gives them ownership over reebok sponsored club Liverpool.
And Chelsea, what can you say? If I was sponsered by Umbro over Adidas i'd want to change too

Hmmm old news

... on January 29, 2005 Chelsea Football Club and adidas Announce Eight-Year Sponsorship Deal.
As for Liverpool there's talk about them switching to adidas (not having anything to do with the Reebok buy) but nothing 'verry' offcial because i have not see this news on adidas web as i have see the Chelsea news; we have to wait and see.

Thats what the other guy said that ordered them

She is right. I ordered a pair the day they were put online, and then a couple days ago, a Eurosport representative called to let me know that they couldn't give me the cleats for that price, so I had to buy them full price.
