Adidas El Moro - the "first" Mavic Alpine XL
Adidas El Moro...
the previous model of Mavic Alpine XL.
But if you are interested in the story:
Adidas never really made their own cycling shoes, Salomon/Mavic/Arc'Teryx just licensed the Adidas brand name to sell cycling shoes and clothing with the 3 stripes, but now they will be sold under their own Mavic brand name instead, because Adidas sold off the Salomon group again back in 2005.
My Adidas before they stopped the production and I switched to Mavic!
conclusion: Thank you Mavic to get back the shoe production. The new shoes are better fit and more comfortably as the adidas! sorry 3stripes and good buy ;-)

Remember Breaking Away...
The following is from Tom Schwoegler, who was the technical adviser on the 1977 movie "Breaking Away."
"We purchased 2 Masi's from Faliero (or was it Alberto... the one who was building in California at the time). We also had 2 extra forks. One fork was bent to simulate the wreck when the pump is put in the front wheel. I bent the fork and it was not easy. We also had a Sears Free Spirit painted and hand decaled to look like a Masi. We had to hand-paint the decals because Masi would not give us an extra set. The Sears bike was mounted on a special platform for the close shots of Dennis Christopher. You can tell if he is on the Sear bike because it had Weinmann brakes and the brake cable came down on the opposite side when compared to the Campy brakes.
Both Masi's returned to California after the film was shot. Steve Tesich ended up with one of them (he was the one who insisted on getting Masi's for Dave and Colnago's for the Italian Team. We only had to buy 2 Colanago's as two of the guys who played those riders already had Colnago's (one of the guys was Christian VanDeVelde's dad, John). I still have one of those bikes, a gift from Director Peter Yates and the other was sold to a friend of mine in Indianapolis who later sold it. I also ended up with the bent fork from the "wrecked" Masi." – Tom Schwoegler
