As football fans worldwide celebrate the 70th anniversary of the iconic 'Miracle of Bern', when the German national team clinched a surprise victory against Hungary to win the World Cup, adidas presents the Bern Gore-Tex. This sneaker is more than just footwear; it's a fusion of history, emotion, and technical innovation, honouring a pivotal moment in football history.
43einhalb brought back the adidas Bern GTX to the exact place where 'The Miracle' began in 1954. During the World Cup in Bern, Switzerland, the team stayed at the Hotel Belvédère on the shores of Lake Thun in Spiez, just a few kilometers from Bern.
Now, let's talk about Adi Dassler, the brain behind adidas and founder of the Three stripes Brand back in the daz. He was there, on the sidelines, making sure the German team had the best gear. Legend has it, his clever idea of giving the players football boots with changeable studs helped Germany clinch that big win against Hungary.
The Bern Gore-Tex? It's a nod to that era, with its stylish leather, metal eyelets, and classic vibes. Think of it as a tribute to players like Max Morlock and Helmut Rahn, who scored the game-changing goal back then. Fun fact: his original shoe is one of the most valuable items in the adidas archives.
But wait, there's more. The Bern Gore-Tex isn't just about looks. Thanks to its GORE-TEX magic, it's waterproof too – perfect for those rainy match days. It's like having a piece of football history right on your feet.
True football fans will surely recognize the connection to the famous Fritz Walter weather. All in all, it's an incredible celebration of football history!
