“ADIDAS STOLE THE SHOW WITH AN IDEA DESIGNED TO, WELL, STEAL THE SHOW.”
Variety
In 1973, Billie Jean King played the most important tennis match of all time: The Battle of the Sexes. She changed the male-dominated establishment in a pair of blue adidas. For the 45th anniversary, adidas could have re-released her shoe. But that's not how BJK would do it. She prefers to change things.
