The brand with the significant three stripes has developed into a global corporation with over 60,000 employees and almost 20 billion euros in annual sales since its beginnings in the 1920s, when the brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler began to manufacture sneakers that were optimally adapted to the foot of the respective athletes in the old laundry room of their mother. The Herzogenaurach-based company is now at home in almost all sports and is one of the most established brand providers of sports shoes. It is no wonder that many top athletes swear by adidas. The Adilette, introduced in 1963, is also legendary and still popular.
