Visual memory of the greatest athlete in the history of sport

The elegance of Muhammad Ali  Visual memory of the greatest athlete in the history of sport

Today Muhammad Ali would have turned 75 years old. Today, the greatest champion in the history of sport would have become a year older, a year a more human. But last June Ali died, letting us face the idea that immortality perhaps is not of this world. That physics, at least.

It is easy to remember Ali for his cultural and sporting impact, bigger and bigger in different aspects of life that he has touched. We have decided to remember him from what we feel nearer, that aesthetical point of view. Because Ali has also been one of the first sporting brands, on which have invested so many realities, adidas first of all. But the grace of Ali transcended the sporting environment and was risen strong, visible, also in his daily paper. 

We have picked up some pictures that show this side of the greatest of the athletes.
