1,500-year-old mummy found ‘wearing’ Adidas • DOL sneakers

Historians and conspiracy theorists alike rallied after a 1,500-year-old mummy was found “wearing sneakers” said to be Adidas. The mummified remains of a woman were found in a cave in Mongolia, a country on the border of China and Russia, about 2,800 meters above sea level, deep in the Altai Mountains.

According to the Mongolian Cultural Heritage Centre, the high altitude and sea air helped preserve the body. Next to the corpse was also an iron kettle, an earthenware vase and a pot. However, it was not the remains, clothing, or other items that attracted the attention of the researchers, but rather the familiar-looking shoes.

Archaeologists noted that they looked like a classic pair of white Adidas sneakers with red and black stripes from the company’s line of snowboarding shoes.

On Reddit, someone wrote: “Wait till Adidas finds out, they might sue for copyright infringement.” Another user commented, “Time travelers, there they are, they could prevent disasters and everything, but no, they’re out there teaching the Pharaohs how to make Adidas sneakers.”

It was later discovered that the body was that of a Turkish seamstress who made shoes around the year 900 and died of a blow to the skull. To the connoisseurs, she might have made the “sneakers” herself, rather than going back in time to a shop to buy them.

“With these stripes, when the discovery was announced, they were called Adidas shoes. In this sense, they make an interesting subject of study for ethnographers, especially when the style is very modern.”
