Adidas is a multinational company specializing in footwear, apparel and sports equipment.

information 

1. History: The company was founded in 1949 in Germany by Adolf "Adi" Dassler. Initially, it focused on the production of sports shoes. The name "adidas" comes from the founder's first and last name - "Adi" from Adolf and "Das" from Dassler.
2. Logo: Characteristic of the brand are the three stripes that have appeared on adidas products from the very beginning. Different versions of the logo have appeared at different times and in different product lines of the brand, such as the "three leaves" or the "Performance" logo showing three stripes arranged at an angle.
3. Competing with Puma: Few people know that Adolf Dassler's brother, Rudolf Dassler, founded the rival company Puma. The brothers were rivals for many years, which led to the "division" of their hometown of Herzogenaurach into two "zones" - adidas and Puma.
4. Innovation: Adidas has launched many innovative products over the years. The company has been one of the pioneers in personalizing sports shoes, creating lightweight running shoes and introducing new technologies such as the Boost cushioning system.
5. Collaborations: Adidas has worked with many celebrities and brands over the years, including Kanye West (Yeezy line), Pharrell Williams, and brands such as Parley for the Oceans, which created products from recycled ocean waste.
6. International presence: Adidas is one of the largest manufacturers of sports equipment in the world, with a wide reach in many countries and a diverse product portfolio that is not limited to sports, but also includes fashion and lifestyle.
7. Sponsorship: Adidas is also a well-known sponsor of many sports teams, individual athletes, as well as major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games.

     trivia

1. Fraternal rivalry: As I mentioned earlier, Adidas founder Adi Dassler had a brother, Rudolf. At some point, their relationship soured, leading Rudolf to create a rival brand, Puma. The family rivalry between the two was so intense that it divided their entire hometown of Herzogenaurach into two parts - the "Puma town" and the "Adidas town."
2. First spiked shoes: Adi Dassler is credited with developing the first spiked athletic shoes. He developed them for German athletes in the 1930s, which helped many of them win medals at the Olympic Games.
3. Beckham and the contract: David Beckham, the famous soccer player, signed a deal with Adidas in 2003 that said he would only wear the brand's products - and not just on the field, but off it as well.
4. Stan Smith: Some of Adidas' most iconic and best-selling shoes, the "Stan Smith" model, were not originally named after him. They were designed in 1965 for tennis player Robert Haillet. It wasn't until 1971, after they began to be promoted by American tennis player Stan Smith, that the shoe was renamed in his honor.
5. Recycling: A partnership with the Parley for the Oceans organization has resulted in shoes made 85% from ocean waste. Adidas has also pledged to produce more such products as part of its environmental efforts.
6. Run DMC: In 1986, the hip-hop group Run DMC released the song "My Adidas," which helped make the brand even more popular in urban culture. The group became one of the first non-sports brand ambassadors.
7. First store: The first official Adidas store opened in Cologne, Germany, in 1986.
