Adidas, originally known as Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik, was established in 1924. The name, which translates to Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory, reflected the company's founding by two brothers. However, it wasn't until 1949 that Adi Dassler, one of the brothers, merged the first part of his first name and surname to create the official Adidas title. Adidas has a rich history in the skateboarding industry - as well as new models designed exclusively for the skateboard market, they have also adapted a number of classic Adidas shoes to be perfect for skating. These include the Campus, Forum, Gazelle and Samba models. These versions of the classic shoes are crafted using high-quality durable and innovative materials, and provide extra comfort and cushioning through custom designed skate insoles -  built to withstand the demands of skateboarding .The brand's commitment to skateboarding extends beyond just creating high-quality shoes. Adidas has cultivated a community of both professional and amateur skateboarders who are supported by their skateboarding arm. This community includes renowned skaters such as Dennis Busenitz, Tyshawn Jones, Nora Vasconcellos, and Lucas Puig - all with their own signature Adidas models.
