About adidas

Every great story has a beginning. This one starts in a small town in Bavaria, Germany. After starting out in his mother’s laundry room, Adi Dassler and his brother register the ‘Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik’ in 1924 and Adi embarks on his mission to provide athletes with the best possible equipment. Gold medals in Amsterdam (1928), Los Angeles (1932) and Berlin (1936) are the first rewards and milestones – and only the start of our story.

adidas celebrates the opening of its new office building called Arena, finalizing the expansion of the company’s headquarters from the “World of Sports” in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Now, for the first time ever, all Herzo-based employees are located on one campus in an environment that fully embraces the company’s unique company culture.

adidas unveils the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 and its lightest ever running shoe. Weighing in at 138 grams, the shoe is 40% lighter than any other shoe adidas has ever created and is industry defining. The shoe helps multiple athletes set new personal bests and break records.

adidas Review

I reviewed the following products in this post:

Essentials 3 Sling Bag ($45) – VERY cute and functional sling bag. Kinda hard to access the main bag when worn on the body. You’ll have to remove it or wear the larger pouch in the front. I do love the zipper strap pocket that fits my iPhone 16 Pro. Comes in multiple colors and is machine washable. The bag is spacious and holds a good amount of belongings.
Archive Track Jacket ($80) – This is a men’s jacket, but I love it! The two-tone color split by stripes is unique and timeless. I went with a size small, and it fits oversized. I love layering it. The pockets zip up.
All SZN Winterised Sweatshirt ($60) – This fabric is so cooling and plush. I am so glad I got it on sale. It pretty much goes with everything, and the details are subtle yet apparent.
Unisex Originals Ruffle 3-Pack Quarter ($20) – I love the look of these socks, but due to poor quality I wouldn’t buy them again. They began unraveling after the second wear.

adidas Pros

Affordable – Most of their products will range from $20 to $150. They do offer premium designer products such as Yohji Yamamoto and Stella McCartney at a premium cost.
Good Quality – The quality of most items is great, but it can be a hit or miss for certain basics, such as socks.
Timeless Designs – Their designs are timeless and can be worn year-round.

adidas Cons

Runs Big – We recommend sizing down in adidas apparel.
Quality is not consistent. My ruffle socks began unraveling after the second wear.

Should I Buy adidas?

Yes, you should! I love their styles, and their products are very durable yet timeless.
