Adidas (creator)Adidas was founded by Adolf Dassler who made sports shoes in his mother's laundry room in Herzogenaurach, Germany. In 1924 his brother joined and they became the Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory. In 1936, Dassler persuaded US sprinter Jesse Owens to wear his spiked shoes in the 1936 Summer Olympics. Owens won 4 gold medals, and the Dassler shoes became known to athletes and trainers.
The brothers split in 1947, Rudolf formed the brand to later be renamed Puma, and Adolf formed Adidas in 1949.
In 2018, Kasper Rorsted is the current CEO. For more information, please visit: https://www.adidas-group.com/en/group/history/ Scavenger Hunt (sold by)
