Few
companies have had a bigger impact on street style than Adidas, a brand
famous for a variety of products, from activewear and shoes to casual
clothing and accessories. After all, how many companies can lay claim to
being arguably the most historically significant brand in both sports
(Jesse Owens wore shoes made by Adi Dassler, Adidas founder, at the 1936
Olympics) and hip hop (Run DMC and other groups made the "three
stripes" a staple on the streets during the 1980's.)? The reason for the
continuing popularity of Adidas is simple: their products strikes the
perfect balance between Men's style, durability, and utility. Also
contributing to the brand's appeal is the sheer number of quality items
they release. One can easily put together a trendy wardrobe consisting
almost entirely of Adidas product. The bottom line: Adidas is a company that has proven again and again to be an integral contributor to street fashion.
