What Is adidas?

adidas is the German sportswear brand founded by Adi Dassler, who registered the company in 1949 in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria. The name comes from his own: Adi plus the first three letters of Dassler. The 3-Stripes became the brand's mark in the same year and remain one of the most recognisable logos in sport and street style.

adidas runs two broad sides. Performance covers the shoes made for sport today. adidas Originals, carrying the Trefoil logo first introduced in 1972, covers the heritage models that left the pitch and the court and became everyday sneakers: the Samba, Gazelle, Campus and Superstar.

The History of adidas Sneakers

Most of the adidas sneakers people wear today were built for sport. The Samba started as a football shoe for training on frozen, icy ground, with a gum sole for grip and a T-shaped toe overlay. The Gazelle arrived in 1966 as a training shoe and was one of the first adidas shoes made with a suede upper. The Superstar launched in 1970 as a leather basketball shoe with a rubber shell toe.

Technology moved the story on. In 2013 adidas launched BOOST, a cushioning foam developed with the German chemical company BASF, first used in the Energy Boost running shoe. BOOST went on to define the brand's lifestyle sneakers of the following decade, including the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2. For the full story, read our history of adidas BOOST.

adidas Culture: Terraces, Hip-Hop and Skate

adidas has belonged to more scenes than almost any sportswear brand. In 1986 Run-DMC released "My Adidas", a song about their Superstars, and the shell toe became part of hip-hop's uniform. The Beastie Boys wore the Campus throughout their career, and skaters took it up through the 1980s and 1990s.

In Britain the Gazelle became a fixture of the Britpop years, while the Samba moved from football into punk and skate scenes. Today the same shoes sit at the centre of street style again, led by the Samba. For why it caught on, read our adidas Samba OG breakdown.

adidas Sizing and Fit

adidas sizes men's, women's and kids' shoes on separate scales, so the same number does not mean the same foot length across them. Measure your foot in centimetres and match it to the size on the listing before you choose. Fit also changes between models: a slim shoe like the Samba or Gazelle feels different from a chunkier Campus. For the adidas Yeezy line, check the Yeezy size guide.
