Made in Germany | Adidas -- Growth in China

[Lionelmessi10fc]

Treat people better than nike

[Thokko]

Made in China Adidas shoes are awesome in quality. I've owned over 7 pairs and I only had to throw away one pair after 10 years.

[Dimitri0809]

Why is everything made in china these days?, i can understand that made in china means cheaper labor costs but what about the quality control?? I mean serisously!

The quality control in china is pretty bad really..

[Theasean]

@Dimitri0809 Do you know that it's the employees of the western multinationals who go to to the factories in china to do the quality control. They want a good product with lower price. You can't put all on china.

[albeanmagz19]

The quality of the Chinese sucks, not by it's workers but the people who manages and it's dictator government. I pity the workers.

[chadberry75]

german's are better at making tanks and machine gun's..

[BiteDoctor]

this will all end when the US finally wakes up and pulls the plug on the chinese

[giojiu]

adidas is the best

[gfred31]

One world economy, One world domination, wer into the last days!

[JacobLoves12]

[jonybeam]

Long live the dalai lama.FREE TIBET FROM THE TYRANICAL OPRRESION OF THE DISGUSTING CHINESE DICTATORS

[hrdaily]

[donkeylyc]

adidas shoes

first step, it is made in china

second step ,it adds the "adidas" label and sold to Chinese

third step, adidas company take most of the profit from the sales

but where does the money come from?

ans: producing brand name shoes ie: adidas

In the end ,it start over again.

what is that ? lol very funny^^

[char1eston]

haha.. adidas is crap..top ten most valuable apperal brand NIKE is #1 wit $13,917, and ADIDAS at #6 wit $3,088.It is a fact that NIKE is more valuable than ADIDAS.

[ElectroHouseSOUNDS]

@char1eston Where did you got the statistics from?

[ExtremeVideoMaker95]

I FUCKING LOVE YOU ADIDAS!!!

[neno2010ist1]

its a german company, nuff said

[EXPLOITEDFIGHT]

propaganda. how good the conditions are and all. i dont want to support commies. try to buy american or european made stuff, not chinese crap

[maomao667]

@EXPLOITEDFIGHT

No wonder US is full of brainless idiots like you. China is no longer a communist country.

[EXPLOITEDFIGHT]

@maomao667 yea right and you're so smart  Mr.MAO... china IS ruled by a communist party. so i'm sticking with my earlier comment. and they produce CRAP in my opinion. dont call americans names or youll get a sh..t storm.

[maomao667]

@EXPLOITEDFIGHT

Oh, please. Open your eyes and have a fucking brain. China has already given up the communism ideas. And it has already become more capitalist than many western countries. Look at its economic system, it doesn't match the Marxism.

[whitehawk2005]

I'm in heaven! I would of said if I were there

[minghan05]

it's really all about economics. Wage cost in Europe is high as are personal taxes compared to asian manufacturing countries. Std of living is higher (and so is cost of living) in Europe/USA compared to asian countries on the whole. So naturally wage cost in asia can afford to be lower. Even in developed c'tries such as S'pore n South Kor, wage costs are still generally lower. maybe Europe shd look into tweaking its wage structure n welfarism (funded from high personal taxes) to be competitive

[FyzikalKemizt]

You losers saying made in China sucks, but the strange thing is you losers keeping buying them LOL! China's huge foreign reserve is definitely not fake.

[minghan05]

@FyzikalKemizt I agree with you. People who say Chn products suck (and some really are substd quality, but not all, on the whole it has improved a lot over a decade ago) should walk the talk and not buy their "Made in China" product. Buy an adidas one that's made in Germany for a pricier tag. Actually international brands do not differ very much in price. Still most price-sensitive consumers (other than the super-rich)whether u r chinese or german or whatever do not really care where they r made

[DemoneaMedia]

Adidas factories look so much better than factories of Nike!

[sharpanator]

streng mal ein wenig das Hirn an, weil das Design, die Materialen, die Farben, die Forschungsergebnisse und Entwicklung, die Zusammensetzung der Stoffe und wie ein Produkt genäht wird usw.. alles von Adidas in Deutschland vorgegeben wird, wahrscheinlich noch von deutschen Maschienen genäht, das ist ja das worauf es an kommt. Dann bräuchtest du ja kein Produkt mehr zu kaufen wenn es nach dir ginge, du kannst aber ruhig China Schund kaufen mit schlechten Stoffen, nicht atmungsaktiv und Krebs förd

[greta040695]

i never thought that puma and adidas are german !! :D

[shnarfers]

adi das is crap.

[darboonah]

what is made in Germany here!!!!!!

Beijing and CHina and model factory in China. What is made in Germany about it. Even the investor isnt German!!!!!!!!!!

[HerrKaestner]

Propaganda video for Adidas. If they really treat all their workers so well as they are trying to convince us with this video, then I would stop boycotting the brand, but I don't believe it. They would loose to much of their profit if they would pay fair wages and provide good working conditions. Human rights is no responsibility of big mony earning companies like Adidas.

[saeta]

shits, this european and northamerican guys just can't provide good working conditions outside their borders...

[torukojindes]

Puma is much better i think. and It is also german too:) German brands are really good however I remember when I was kid, I had a adidas soccer shoe but now adidas products are worser compared with the old times.

[ValueMSW]

Nike and Jordan rule the sneaker world!!

Adidas and Puma are ok!

Reebok is chasing the top companies!!

[alfaceandrice]

And I forgot to say that China doesn't need to keep this slavery system, they have the world's biggest internal market and they have at least 50 years of prosperity to come.

[Incasport]

chinese quality is socks i prefer made is originals countrys

[alfaceandrice]

The quality of chinese products still sucks.

And I don't like the idea of buying goods from a nation that has a dictator government with 'slavery', that's why their goods have much lower prices than western ones.

[tonyhu12321]

@alfaceandrice

true~ quality indeed sucks

and being chinese myself

I know the price rise in China.

But I'm so glad China is still a developing country :)

hope we develope further ^^

[maomao667]

@alfaceandrice

China has 1.4 billions people. At present, cheap labour is the only way to feed so many people, otherwise China will have more people live in proverty. The Chinese government is doing as best as it can to improve its people's living standards. I bet if the revolution succeeded in 1989, China's economy wouldn't be so large in today.

[Ottonturk]

@alfaceandrice you will BE buying this goods!!!! - no matter if they were made in dictatorships country or not. This is stupidist - what you told about quality! The quality - in control of all procedures. Of cause - any types of products must have special control - they must be made by qualify employees!

[Doraemonchina]

@alfaceandrice: you are the real evil so don't lecture others about human beings!!!!

God damn you Satan!!!!

[abbreviateTome]

@alfaceandrice what is there that is not from china, if there is let me know :)

[papasniff1andonly]

@abbreviateTome Element 26 sports wear made in Europe sweat shop free, not made by kids and top quality, half the price of nike adidas puma and the rest of them and trendier check it out.

[schlagerhansi]

@papasniff1andonly

Tell me where - never heard of them!

[ulizinho]

@alfaceandrice

you can buy Europe-made sneakers: New Balance has some product lines Made in England or, a very special product: The LUNGE running shoe, made handcrafted in Germany.

[OnurLoc187]

@alfaceandrice Buy New Balance - Made in England or USA

[Thokko]

@OnurLoc187 Majority of New Balances are made in China. Even with the Made in USA or England New Balances, 30 to 40 percent of the material of the Made in USA or England New Balances are still made in China.

[OnurLoc187]

@Thokko I don't think so...

I'll never buy this adidas shit again.

[Thokko]

@OnurLoc187 Oh well, I wore New Balance shoes in the 90's and early 2000 and they were very solid in quality. A lot of the shoes were approved by the American Podiatry Association. After 2001, none of New Balance shoes are approved by the American Podiatry association. New Balance is the FORD automobile of running shoes right now.

[Woopee]

"The days when millions of poor migrant workers couldn't find employment are over".

.

Are you joking?

[shekoken]

at least the work conditions in this factory is way better than the slave driven underpaid abusive workers at nike factories in asia.

[joewalter222]

I'd say. And at 130 euros, they're making 3 times as much - about $2000 a month with the cost of living adjusted for America. But Adidas is so much better quality than Nike.

[ValueMSW]

Nike is the king of sneakers!!!

Nike rocks! I have high quality sneakers made by Nike...

[K05TJ4]

@joewalter222 dude nothing is better than nike air max.. those shoes survive for like 5 years

[calculussuckshell]

i did not know adidas is from germany!

[JustMakingComments]

Here in the US they call it aa deee das. Where I initially come from they call it a-di-dud, where we don't wear shoes until we reach puberty. We don't wear adidas anymore out of fear of being mug for it.

[eddu32]

where you from man?

[kfaslf]

you live in a weird place

[JustMakingComments]

I now live in US where it's probably unlawful to go barefoot as a kid. But yes, getting mug for a shoe has got to be the weirdest thing people will do. So, I don't feed into the weirdness -- I don't wear Adidas anymore.
