At adidas, every day is a chance to flip the script. An invitation to take everything
we know and re-invent it. Do it better. Never settling for good enough.

Every day we get up, invent, adapt, improvise, find new ways to collaborate,
and do the unexpected. We’re creators, makers and doers. Helping athletes make a difference, not just in their games, but in their lives and in their world.

It’s an obsession.

We’ve been doing this for more than 65 years. With an unmatched history and tradition of creating iconic products, consumer connections and experiences, we’ve been defining sport culture since the beginning.

And we’re never done.

Come be a part of shaping the future together with us.
