Can you give me an email address to contact adidas?

Adidas finally set up a customer relations email address! Mail them at consumer.relations@adidasus.com

How can I contact adidas?

Unfortunately I am not affiliated with the adidas company. All I can suggest is to send them a letter or email. Addresses for the German and US offices can be found on the company information page.

What does adidas stand for?

Many people will tell you that adidas stand for
All Day I Dream About Soccer (other S words have also been heard) but this is not true. The word adidas comes from a contraction of Adi Dassler who was the founder of adidas. More history can be found on the history page.

What are adidas's origins?

For a brief history of adidas, check my adidas history page

Why does adidas have 3 stripes and not 2 or 4?

As far as I know, adidas has 3 stripe because Adi Dassler had 3 sons.

Where can I find a certain adidas product? (sweatsuits, shoes)

If you are looking for current adidas gear, I would suggest starting with some of the mail order companies listed on my adidas links page. If you are looking for older gear it will be a little bit tougher. I don't know of anyone specializing in old adidas gear, but I'll be sure to pass on the information if I ever do.

Where can I get adidas underwear?

I don't know of anyone currently selling adidas underwear. Adidas used to sell both briefs and boxer briefs. It has been a few years since I have seen adidas underwear it in any catalogs. I hope they start selling them again though. The pair I own has lasted forever and they are very comfortable.

I've downloaded the adidas icons from your adidas for windows page, can you tell me how to use them?

For help in changing your icons, try the tutorial I created on the subject.

I heard that adidas made soccer studs specifically for college teams. Do you know anything about this?

Adidas offered a molded shoe in the colors of Duke, Virginia, and North Carolina for awhile. As far as I know, they no longer make these and these were the only schools that they did make them for.

Where did you get the graphics for your page?

Most of the product graphics, such as those in my collection section came from magazine scans. Almost all of the logos and other graphics in the site are ones that I have created in one form or another.

Can you give me some more information on adidas marketing techniques and their latest advertisments?

A lot of people have asked this question while doing reports on adidas for various classes. I don't have any additional to offer on these topics. Maybe some of you who have finished reports on adidas could email me your reports and that information could then be shared with others.

Does adidas use child labor to manufacture its products?

The short answer is no, they don't. If you would like a more complete answer, check out the answer to the question "Does adidas have a Human Rights Code" in the adidas answer man section of the official adidas web site. You will find it under the Customer Service area.

There is another good FAQ at adidas.com. It covers quite a lot and there is a form to submit additional questions.
