Adidas, a globally renowned athletic apparel brand, derived its name from its creator, Adolf “Adi” Dassler. Originating from Germany, Adi Dassler commenced crafting shoes in his mother’s kitchen following World War I, spurred by a fervor for producing sports footwear that improved athletic performance. In 1949, he amalgamated his moniker “Adi” with the initial three letters of his surname, “Dassler,” resulting in the brand name Adidas. Over time, the company has developed into a prominent international force, acclaimed for its pioneering advancements in sports footwear, clothing, and gear.
