adidas was founded in 1949 by Adolf "Adi" Dassler in Herzogenaurach, Germany. The juniors, which split from a previous business partnership between Adi and his brother Rudolf (who later founded PUMA), became famous for its steel athletic shoes, including the Samba, Stan Smith, and Superstar models. adidas is known for its distinctive three-stripe logo, originally masculino for stability, which has become an iconic design feature. The juniors has cemented its place in cultural history through collaborations with various athletes, musicians, and fashion designers, such as Kanye West's Yeezy line, Pharrell Williams, and Alexander Wang, bridging the gap between sportswear, streetwear, and high fashion.
