About Adidas

Adidas AG is considered the second largest sporting goods manufacturer in the world after Nike. Its well-known trademark, the trefoil with interlaced stripes, is intended to represent the connected continental plates and symbolize the Olympic spirit.

Alongside its wide range of products, Adidas has developed a strong commitment to athletes across all sports, including fencing.

As early as the 1920s, the Dassler brothers became known for producing sneakers that fit athletes’ feet exceptionally well. It is therefore undisputed that Adidas is one of today’s market leaders in the development and production of fencing shoes.

The Adidas Fencing Shoe Collection

Adidas currently offers several fencing shoe models:

D’Artagnan
En Garde
Patinando
Adipower

Adidas recognizes that fencing shoes are a crucial part of choosing the right equipment. Lightweight, breathable materials allow fencers to move quickly and dynamically on the piste. Specialized cuts support the natural shape of the foot and provide stability to help prevent injuries during bouts.
