What it concludes

Herbert Hainer's acquisition of Reebok failed to deliver expected growth and led to major financial and operational struggles for Adidas.
Adidas lagged behind Nike and Under Armour in the North American market due to mismanaged retail and slow product adaptation.
The 2005 multi-brand strategy diluted Adidas's focus and hindered its agility against competitors.
Kasper Rorsted's appointment as CEO in 2016 successfully revived Adidas by shifting focus to e-commerce, speed, and key global cities.
Selling Reebok in 2021 for $2.5 billion finally ended years of underperformance and financial misreporting linked to the brand.
