Budget-friendly gift ideas adidas

Socks, caps, beanies: adidas accessories to give

Sports socks adidas often come in packs of three or six pairs, available in low versions for running, mid-height for the gym, or high for football: a gift that gets used every week. The cap with the three stripes, adjustable at the back with a buckle or Velcro strap, protects from the sun during outings and transitions easily from running to the city. For winter, the beanie in ribbed knit, embroidered with the trefoil logo or the performance logo, keeps the head warm on the sidelines. These accessories can be mixed and matched to create a varied little package, either under the tree or as a complement to a main gift.

A ball adidas for the young footballer

adidas provides the official ball for every World Cup since the Telstar in 1970, whose black and white panels were meant to stand out on the televisions of the time. On a budget, the brand offers its competition balls in training versions, which are more durable, in the same design. The size choice depends on age: size three up to about eight years, size four from eight to twelve years, and size five afterwards, the official size for adults. An insulated bottle adidas completes a player's gift: with a sports cap, it opens one-handed during breaks and fits in the training bag with the outfit.

Giving a t-shirt or an adidas bag without getting the size wrong

For a t-shirt, the adidas size guide is based on chest measurement: in case of doubt, going up a size gives some extra room, especially since sports cuts are often quite fitted. A discreet look at the recipient's wardrobe tag helps avoid any surprises. The string bag and the small sac for sports raise no sizing issues: the first carries an outfit and a bottle to the gym, while the second also accommodates shoes in a separate pocket. For a child who grows quickly, it's better to aim for a size up, which will last all season.

Frequently asked questions

What is the origin of the adidas brand?

adidas is a German brand registered in 1949 by Adolf Dassler, nicknamed Adi, in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria. Its name comes from the contraction of his nickname and the start of his last name.

Where do the three stripes of adidas come from?

The three stripes were originally used to reinforce and secure the sides of the shoe. adidas acquired them from the Finnish manufacturer Karhu in the early 1950s and then made them its signature on all its products.

What gift adidas for a child who plays football?

A training ball in the right size, a pair of football socks, or a water bottle are great and useful right from the first training session. For a fan, a small accessory in their club's colors can complete the package.

What size cap adidas to choose?

Most adidas caps are one-size-fits-all, adjustable via a strap at the back. Smaller child versions are available for younger head sizes.

How to wash adidas sports socks?

Wash them inside out, at thirty or forty degrees, without fabric softener which reduces sweat wicking. Avoid the tumble dryer, which loosens elastic fibers and reduces support.
