About
Adolf Dassler founded the brand in his mother’s basement in Herzogenaurach, Germany, since then it has employed over 57,000 people worldwide and has a revenue of over 21 billion worldwide. While Adolf Dassler set up Adidas, his elder brother Rudolf Dassler founded Puma, which became its rival.
Adidas is known to sell a wide range of apparel inclusive of all genders like t-shirts, jackets, hoodies, pants, and leggings. They often are associated with many popular sports such as football, cricket, golf, etc.
Although Adidas was initially founded as sportswear, as time passed, they divorced the company into three main sections which include: –
• Adidas Performance– Strictly for sports. The Adidas performance shows Adidas their complete loyalty to creating sports performance wear for athletes.
• Adidas essentials– This takes a much more casual approach from the Adidas performance wear, indulging in athleisure wear which includes t-shirts, yoga pants, casual shoes, etc.
• Style essentials– This takes a complete 360 from the other two, as the style essential section of Adidas is focused on the fashion aspect of it but keeping in touch with the sporty look.
