About adidas
The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has long become reality, and his corporate philosophy the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant. Adi Dassler's aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War.

The adidas name dates back to 1948, deriving from the first two syllables of Adi Dassler's first and last name. One year later, Adi Dassler registered the Three Stripes as a trademark. After a period spanning almost 70 years, the Dassler Family withdrew from the company in 1989, and the enterprise was transformed into a corporation ("Aktiengesellschaft"). French-born Robert Louis-Dreyfus was Chairman of the Executive Board from April 1993 to March 2001. It was he who initiated adidas' flotation on the stock market in November 1995. adidas--a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport around the globe. Today, the adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.

Customer Reviews

Love The Ball
I love this ball. The ball is great for playing and practicing. The ball has great bounce and has great design. I say the only bad thing about the ball is it is a little heavier than normal balls and my ball had some defects. I recommend to buy this ball!

Good ball for the price
This ball has held air quite well and hasn't needed to be re-inflated since the first time. The graphics are nice and help with visibility, but rubbed off on 60% of the ball quite quickly after playing a game on a sand/dirt field--probably would last a bit longer on grass or turf. Ball is holding up well after multiple games.

Great ball for starters!
I bought this for my 2 and 4 year olds because there were sizes to choose from and having had experience with the ADIDAS name I thought the quality would be good, the size is perfect and the quality is great.
