The adidas brand started when a humble shoemaker from a small rural town in Germany developed a range of sports products so original and perfect they were sought after by athletes from all over the world. Adi Dassler's belief in sport and its endless possibilities remains at the heart of adidas today. His philosophy was to equip all athletes, enhancing their ability to achieve their impossible.

"Impossible Is Nothing" is still at the core of the adidas brand today, enabling athletes to communicate on a side-by-side platform with consumers so they too can achieve their own personal impossibles. Adi Dassler was driven by his passion for sport and, above all, for football. In the world of football, adidas has set the standards for decades with its ground- breaking innovation and product design. adidas has led all major developments in the football market from apparel, to boots, and match balls. This is the same passion that drives adidas on today. adidas is devoted to performance, to innovation, to athletes and to fans.
