Matt Varga 2024 has been a banner year for adidas, with the German sneaker powerhouse posting strong earnings and setting an optimistic course for 2025. While the meteoric rise of the Samba—arguably the “it shoe” of the year—might seem like the obvious driver of adidas’ success, the reality is that the brand has been excelling across the board.
Beyond terrace classics like the Gazelle and Handball Spezial, adidas has made strides in other key areas, showcasing its versatility and innovation. In basketball, adidas is pushing the envelope with its latest wave of signature sneakers. Fresh releases from Anthony Edwards, Damian Lillard, and Donovan Mitchell not only spotlight cutting-edge design but also reinforce adidas’ position in performance footwear. For the fashion-forward, Yohji Yamamoto’s adidas Y-3 continues to deliver elevated takes on Three Stripes classics, a tradition it has upheld for over 20 years. Meanwhile, adidas is tapping into the Y2K nostalgia trend, reintroducing beloved Adistar models from the early 2000s and collaborating with familiar partners to keep the momentum strong.
