History of the Adidas EQT Gazelle

In 1924, Adolf and Rudolf Dassler established the Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory, the company which would eventually become Adidas. The brand became known for its innovative shoes. In 1936, the company received worldwide attention when it outfitted the American sprinter Jesse Owens with running spikes.

Despite such successes, the partnership between the two brothers didn’t last. They never saw each other eye to eye until their relationship soured beyond repair. As a result, Adolf “Adi” Dassler renamed the company Adidas, while his older brother Rudolf left the company and established his own brand, PUMA.
