Adi Dassler had a dream to create the best sport shoes possible to protect athletes from injury while being durable and combining strength and innovation. Over the decades, Adidas grew to be a large international brand through strategic sponsorships of teams and events, endorsement deals, and advertising using famous slogans across various media like magazines, billboards, and celebrity partnerships. While strong in brand image and ambassadors, Adidas also faces threats from competitors with larger market share and budgets.
