A young man made this video and sent it to Adidas. They didn't respond at all, so he released it on social media. I found it on Facebook. It has gone viral since it was released.

Here's the link that gives the full story:

Yes, the company probably noticed that the shoes were not the latest styling. The good news for the film maker is that the short is creating a minor buzz.

That was inspirational. Now that it has gone viral Adidas will have some 'splainin to do.

That's Fab, California Peggy. A complete short film in itself. No dialogue necessary.

Thanks so much for posting.

made me bleary eyed. I have an old pair of Adidas running shoes in my closet. From the 80's. I bet there a lots of us like that. This speaks to that. It's so inspirational.

Hell. If it wasn't 14 below zero I might just dig em out right now. If I got back into running, I'd buy new shoes. Adidas made a big mistake here.
