Founded in 1949 Germany, Adidas’ legacy in the sneaker world couldn’t have created a more perfect balance between style and performance. With early releases featuring classic German army trainer inspiration, along with football boots worn in the 1954 World Cup Final, the brand’s origins are scattered endlessly throughout entertainment culture and the sporting universe. With iconic silhouettes named for tennis players Rod Laver and Stan Smith, shell-toe Superstar sneakers beloved by all of hip-hop and basketball, and the Ultraboost’s previously unheard of technological advancements, the three stripes’ legacy has only broadened with time.
