History of adidas In 1920, it all began when Adolph Dassler adidas and
his brother Rudolph made their first shoes in a small village in south Germany using basic material available after World War I. Their idea was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. Jesse Owens was the first agreed to wear their shoes and he won 4 gold medals in Berlin Olympics. In 1948 the two brothers quarreled, Rudolph left to establish Puma and Adolph to register Adidas. 1954 Germany won the world cup wearing new screw studs on adidas soccer shoes.

History of adidas (Cont) In 1972 Nike entered the American market targeting
teenagers, Reebok followed in 1979. Adidas struggled through the high pace of competition as the aggressive competition in industry is getting higher.

Through 1989 and 1998 adidas has been acquired and sold 3 times till 2000 when Herbert Hainer took over as a chairman and CEO of adidas and Rolf Reinschmidt as a head of Forever Sport Division.

Question In this case the problem that adidas will be facing is the
extremely high cost of inventory in addition to the high production cost. The question is: Does the added value for the service cover these additional costs? Will the price be ideal for Adidas to keep its good reputation?
Considering the three alternatives, Withdraw, Maintain & ExpandWithdrawThe first option of withdrawing will mean that all the effort was almost for nothing. Competitors can take advantage of a lucrative market devoid of competitors.
Maintain
Customization of products has already become a trend. mi adidas has created a good energy for the business and customization capabilities could be integrated into existing functions. Even though a huge demand of customized products exist in the market, there are limited resources and capabilities to handle large volume of customized goods.
Considering the three alternatives, Withdraw, Maintain & ExpandExpandA demand for customized footwear exists. No big contenders (yet) for this market space. A controlled expansion can reduce risks. This can be attained by limiting the amount of customization. As capabilities and competences improve the level of customization can be increased The problems that mi adidas face right now can only be fixed by allocating more resources to deal with those issues and the resources can be obtained only by expansion.

RecommendationsUsing the existing production facilities or with minimal changes to them. Nike s footwear sales are increasing so Adidas needs to take a step forward and do something different in order to keep the customers interested. Adidas should make plans of entering into other segments of service business like customized sports goods and sports wear Problems with retailers can be avoided by first expanding to
Adidas' own retail stores. After all major issues have been solved, the service can be further expanded to other retailers. As for products, adidas should lead customers taste in a certain level.
