History of Adidas
The Adidas sneaker was originated by Adolf Dassler who created a shoe after his time in World War I and with the help of his brother Rudolf Dassler started a business called the Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory. While the company was profitable, the brother split and Rudolf decided to start his own company which would eventually be known as Puma. Adolf continued with his business and in 1949 it evolved into the name Adidas. In 1989 the company was purchased by a French businessman named Bernard Tapie and after financial trouble it was sold again to Robert Louis-Dreyfus in 1993. In 1997 Adidas was acquired by the Salomon Group and then sold once again to Amer Sports of Finland. -
