How Adolf Dassler became Adidas

Adolf Dassler, better known as Adi Dassler, is the founder of Adidas. It all began at his home in the laundry room, because working with fabrics runs in the Dassler family’s blood. The brothers’ father was a weaver and thus passed on a fundamental knowledge of fabrics to his children. They experimented with fabrics and that’s how the first running shoe came into being. The brothers had a clear division of labor: Rudolf was responsible for marketing and sold the shoes at marketplaces. Adolf, on the other hand, was responsible for the production of the shoes.

Later, the brothers separated and divided the company. Adolf remained in the factory and named the company after himself. A compound of Adi, his nickname, and Dassler, his last name. Rudolf, on the other hand, founded his own company: Puma.
