Addidas is a company that started producing shoes in the 1920′s. It actually became a registered company in 1949. The company, like so many others, was named after the founders. Adi from the man named Adolf and Das from the man named Dassler. Hence the company name Addidas. You will have to forgive my spelling as that is just how it sounds like it should be spelled and thats just the way I do it.
The trademark of these basketball shoes are the three stipes that are the same color.
The Addidas company is the second largest brand name selling and manufacturing basketball shoes in the world. These bball shoes are endorsed by superstars such as Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady and Gilbert Arenas.
A company does not get to be the second largest by putting out inferior products. Addidas gets to that point by putting out high quality basketball sneakers.
