Building on their breakout success at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, when founder Adi Dassler’s spikes helped Jesse Owens to gold, adidas have become one of the biggest brands around, with the famous 3-Stripes seen on everyone from rappers to world record holders. Known primarily for their lightweight race shoes and the legendary Ultraboost, they’re also gaining fans for their popular Terrex outdoor range. If you’re trying on a pair of adidas running shoes, expect innovative design, excellent styling, and a sustainable approach to construction.
