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

Loses air often
It's a nice ball aesthetically, but it loses some air between my games each week. In fact, it even arrived at my doorstep deflated, whereas another soccer ball I bought at the store was inflated from the start and stayed that way through multiple games. I'm not sure if it's typical for companies to ship soccer and other balls nearly fully deflated - I know when I ordered a Spaulding basketball from Amazon it was fully inflated, no problem. So that was a turn-off. In summary, I wish it would hold up better.

ehhh.... its fine...
I needed a new ball and this one seemed pretty nice for the price. I play for a soccer club and a few days before the ball came in, the Club bought everyone this same ball, So although it was un-neccesary, its still a good ball
