adidas
The adidas brand sets the curve for sports technology and streetwear relevance. In 1924, Adi Dassler founded his first shoe factory in Germany, providing athletic wear to Gold medalists in multiple Olympics. He created his namesake company and registered the now-famous three-stripes shoe design in 1949. Today, adidas shoes and clothing are synonymous with performance and style, with collections available for women, men and kids.

Very Nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Adistar Control 5 is comfortable, good for workouts and a great looking retro style.
Adidas should make more styles similar to these for the Gen x'ers. Thank You

No support
I really wanted to love this sneaker but they have absolutely no support and are extremely uncomfortable. They are flat like wearing a pair of converse shoes. Adidas didn’t update the model at all. It’s exactly like it was when it was released in the past. Disappointing because they look great.
