Abstract:
Adidas had always developed state-of-the-art sports footwear, apparel and accessories. However, rival Nike had toppled Adidas from the leadership position in the USA, using its strengths as a marketer. Adidas took over Reebok in 2005 to strengthen its place in the USA market. It also capitalized on its position as an official sponsor of FIFA World Cup 2006 to launch aggressive campaigns. But analysts were skeptical of Adidas’ success in the USA, considering Nike’s marketing muscle.

Pedagogical Objectives:

  • To discuss about the fight between Adidas and Nike
  • To understand how Adidas was strengthening its position in the US.
