Today the fact that the brand is the manufacturer of high quality sportswear that dominates the athletic world in general and football world in particular, makes its past even more fascinating. It is probably the only sportswear brand that not only focuses on athletic performance but also combines sports, style and fashion. </p> <strong style="color:#ff003c;">OVERVIEW</strong> <p>The brand Adidas is owned by Adidas AG – the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe and second worldwide. Adidas AG is a multinational corporation, founded and headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany, which designs and manufactures footwear, apparel and accessories. The Group owning Reebok (currently undergoing sell-out proceeding), Taylormade and Runtastic as well as a share of the German football club Bayern Munich, employs over 60,000 people, 55 per cent being females with equal share of employees working in its retail business. Adidas uses a three-stripe logo on its product designs as a marketing aid and competes globally with Nike, Puma and Under Armour in the sportswear category.</p> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="btn text-center"><a href="brand-story-adidas.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="images/click-here.png"></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footerNew" style="float:left;"> <div class="footer-main"> <div class="left-column" style="float:left;"> <h5> Quick navigation</h5> <ul class="footer-nav"> <li > <a href="/news/">Fashion News</a></li> <li> <a href="/articles/">Latest Articles</a></li> <li > <a href="/events/">Events / Shows</a></li> <li> <a href="/fashion-trends/">Fashion Forecast</a></li> <li > <a href="/brand-story/View_all.aspx">Brand Story</a></li> <!--li> <a href="/fashion-designers/">Designers</a></li--> </ul> </div> <div class="footersocial"> <h5>Follow us on</h5> <div><a href="http://www.facebook.com/B2B.fibre2fashion" target="_blank"><img src="/brand-story/images/fb-icon.png" alt="" width="24" height="24" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/company/fibre2fashion" target="_blank"><img src="/brand-story/images/linkein-icon.png" alt="" width="24" height="24" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.twitter.com/fibre2fashion" target="_blank"><img src="/brand-story/images/twitter-icon.png" alt="" width="24" height="24" border="0" /></a><a href="https://plus.google.com/+fibre2fashion/posts" target="_blank"><img src="/brand-story/images/gplus-icon.png" alt="" width="24" height="24" border="0" /></a><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/fibre2fashion/fashionnews" target="_blank"><img src="/brand-story/images/feeds-icon.png" alt="" width="24" height="24" border="0" /></a></div> </div> <div style=" float:right; width:46.2%; height:20px; color:#fff; margin-right:30%;"><!-- include virtual = '/controls/f2f-fashiongear-footer.htm' --></div> </div> </div> <!-- include file = '../../google.htm' --> <!-- Paste this right before your closing </head> tag --> <script type="text/javascript"> const MIXPANEL_CUSTOM_LIB_URL = "https://www.fibre2fashion.com/wap/lib.min.js"; const MIXPANEL_PROXY_DOMAIN ="https://www.fibre2fashion.com/wap/"; (function (f, b) { if (!b.__SV) { var e, g, i, h; window.mixpanel = b; b._i = []; b.init = function (e, f, c) { function g(a, d) { var b = d.split("."); 2 == b.length && (a = a[b[0]], d = b[1]); a[d] = function () { a.push([d].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0))) } } var a = b; "undefined" !== typeof c ? a = b[c] = [] : c = "mixpanel"; a.people = a.people || []; a.toString = function (a) { var d = "mixpanel"; "mixpanel" !== c && (d += "." + c); a || (d += " (stub)"); return d }; a.people.toString = function () { return a.toString(1) + ".people (stub)" }; i = "disable time_event track track_pageview track_links track_forms track_with_groups add_group set_group remove_group register register_once alias unregister identify name_tag set_config reset opt_in_tracking opt_out_tracking has_opted_in_tracking has_opted_out_tracking clear_opt_in_out_tracking start_batch_senders people.set people.set_once people.unset people.increment people.append people.union people.track_charge people.clear_charges people.delete_user people.remove".split(" "); for (h = 0; h < i.length; h++)g(a, i[h]); var j = "set set_once union unset remove delete".split(" "); a.get_group = function () { function b(c) { d[c] = function () { call2_args = arguments; call2 = [c].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(call2_args, 0)); a.push([e, call2]) } } for (var d = {}, e = ["get_group"].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0)), c = 0; c < j.length; c++)b(j[c]); return d }; b._i.push([e, f, c]) }; b.__SV = 1.2; e = f.createElement("script"); e.type = "text/javascript"; e.async = !0; e.src = "undefined" !== typeof MIXPANEL_CUSTOM_LIB_URL ?
