Nike and Adidas one of the most famous brand of shoes in the world,but many people ask who is the best shoe brand.Although Adidas comes fist the Nike still leading in sales,sponsorship,etch.But when it comes to technology their is so many differences,but before we classify we first talk about it's history.

Adidas: year:1990-1949 This one started in a small town in Bavaria, Germany. After first steps in his mother’s wash kitchen, Adi Dassler registere the “Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik” in 1924 and embarked on his mission to provide athletes with the bes possible equipment. Gold medals in Amsterdam (1928, Lina Radke) and Berlin (1936, Jesse Owens) were first rewards and milestones – and only the start of our story. 1949 On August 18, 1949, Adi Dassler started over again at the age of 49, registered the “Adi Dassler adidas Sportschuhfabrik” and set to work with 47 employees in the small town of Herzogenaurach. On the same day, he registered a shoe that included the registration of the soon-to-become-famous adidas 3-Stripes. From humble beginnings to a global success story – which accelerated by a miracle … 1954 Who would have thought that screw-in-studs on lightweight football boots would help write history? When the German national football team faced the unbeatable Hungarians in the 1954 World Cup final, they won so much more than just a trophy. Their unbelievable victory would be heard around the world for decades to come. And it made adidas and its founder a household name on football pitches everywhere. 1958 Two brothers working together for the best of the athlete. Sounds familiar? Well this story started across the channel, miles away from Herzogenaurach. While adidas continued to grow after its own 1954 miracle, two British men by the names of                                Joe and Jeff Foster gave their grandfather’s company “J.W. Foster and Sons” (founded in 1895) a new name: Reebok. Keep it                in mind for now, we will get back to this later. 1967 What’s in a name? Everything, when you name it after a “Kaiser”. When the Franz Beckenbauer tracksuit model celebrated its debut, it became the first piece of apparel for adidas and opened a whole new business to a company that, so far, was famous for shoes. 1968-1970 How do you consistently earn the trust of world-class athletes through the decades? Produce innovative products that make them better for once. Adi Dassler’s secret to success had an additional personal ingredient: he met with athletes (some of                  them even as visitors in Herzogenaurach), listened carefully to what they said and constantly observed what can be improved or even invented to support their needs. The best of the best trusted adidas and its founder from the beginning. And that would not change throughout the decades to come. 1970 Footwear for gold medal winners? Check. Apparel for record breakers? Check. Now, how about something to kick with? Consider it done. In 1970, adidas conquered yet another branch of the sporting goods industry, delivering the official ball, TELSTAR, for the 1970 FIFA World Cup™. As the name TELSTAR already tells, the ball was designed to improve visibility on                Black and White TV. It was the beginning of a wonderful partnership, with adidas providing the Official Match Ball to               every FIFA World Cup™ that followed. 1971 The best businesses seem to come out of family. Across the pond, a father and son hit the US roads to sell shoes out of                    their trunk. Saul and Bruce Katz started the first company to ever combine advanced materials and technologies in casual footwear: Rockport. Again, this will be important later on. 1972-1978 In 1972, the world turned to Germany when the Olympic Games opened in Munich. Just in time for the event, adidas presented a new logo that was here to stay: the Trefoil. Then, symbolising performance. Today, the adidas Originlas collection stands for lifestyle and street. Times may change, but trefoiled quality will always remain From Herzogenaurach to the world: the 3-Stripes kept expanding to more and more sports throughout the years. This is               reflected in the broad range of athletes who trust adidas to make them better: besides the usual suspects such as the world’s best football players, like the Argentinean national team, outdoor icon Reinhold Messner climbed mountains in                adidas shoes and gymnast Nadia Comaneci scored a perfect 10, repeatedly. to continue pls check at http://www.adidas-group.com/en/group/history/
