His career with the Three Stripes began in the 1970s and worked alongside adidas’ founder Adi Dassler. For 47 years, he embodied Dassler’s commitment to craftsmanship and turned it into a legacy by creating some of adidas’ most iconic models & franchises, such as the adidas Originals ZX 8000, EQT, and Torsion-bar offerings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, adidas commemorated a special adidas Originals ZX 8000 to Thaler and Jacques Chassaing (who was responsible for the entire ZX franchise). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His wisdom and innovative spirit were passed onto others during his time at adidas by working alongside a handful of designers to create one-of-a-kind for stars such as Lionel Messi, Snoop Dogg, Caroline Wozniacki, and Derrick Rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our condolences go to the Thaler family.<\/p>\n\n\n
