A. Sometimes when people die, their benefit payments live on.
Q. What was the theme of the keynote address to the Necrophilia Convention? (Steve Brevig, Springfield, Va.)
A new book by Conrad Brunner, All Day I Dream About Sport, tells the story of the rise, fall and rise again of the Adidas brand. It's a story that's rich in anecdotes about sporting heroes, genuine global players who wore Adidas and, in doing so, built the brand's legend. There was, surprisingly, Jesse Owens, the black American sprinter who won four gold medals at the 'Hitler Olympics' in Berlin in 1936. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier slugged it out in matching boxing boots. And there was Dick Fosbury, the American who completely changed the style of high jumping in 1968. He won Olympic gold with specially designed Adidas shoes, opening up the US and world market for the brand - to such an extent that at the 1972 Olympics every official wore Adidas and so did 1,164 of the 1,990 international athletes.
Karhu, a little-known Finnish label, is making a rad running shoe that I can finally endorse. What I love most about it is the '70s simplicity of the white and blue-striped emblem, called the Fulcrum Star. Karhu, which means bear in Finnish, had three stripes on the side before Adidas ever existed, before selling the logo to Adi Dasler for 1800 Euros and 2 bottles of whiskey—a damn good deal, if you ask me. A small brand, Karhu is only available in Boston at Bodega and South End Athletic Company. If you don't have a frikin' wicked cah to take you there, then check out their website.
