From a Bavarian workshop to the three stripes

adidas is a German sportswear brand known for the three stripes, selling footwear, clothing and equipment for sport and everyday wear. The company grew out of the shoe workshop Adi Dassler started in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, in the 1920s, and was registered under the adidas name in 1949. The screw-in studs worn by the German team in the 1954 World Cup final put the brand on the map, and it has been one of the world’s biggest sportswear makers ever since.

What you can buy at adidas.co.uk:

• Originals – lifestyle trainers and streetwear, including Samba, Gazelle, Campus, Superstar and Stan Smith.
• Performance – running, football, gym and training gear, such as Ultraboost and Predator.
• Clothing – tracksuits, hoodies, T-shirts, shorts, leggings and jackets for men, women and kids.
• Accessories – bags, caps, socks, footballs and water bottles.
• Collaborations and sub-brands – Y-3, adidas by Stella McCartney, Terrex outdoor gear and football club kits.

The adidas outlet section holds previous-season lines at reduced prices, and is usually where the deepest discounts sit.

Famous collections

Adidas likes to cooperate with people from various industries to create collections that spark the interest of customers from all walks of life. Products signed by singers, designers, music producers and athletes bring a new touch to the sporty character of the attire. Such collaborations result in lines that become very popular all over the world, and that can be mixed with a variety of data-styles.

Apart from the historic tracksuit worn by the famous footballer Franz Beckenbauer, Adidas invited artists such as Run DMC or, just a few years ago, Pharrell Williams into its midst. The one and only Missy Elliot sported her athlete data-style in her videos and concerts while Kanye West added his Yeezy character into a model of sports shoes. That's not all, though. Can a sports brand, the absolute leader, be associated with high-end designers at all? Adidas is open to that as well, which is why it has also collaborated with Stella McCartney.

Which adidas codes actually exist – and who can use them

adidas rarely publishes sitewide discount codes that anyone can use. The regular discounts are tied to who you are or to an account you create: a birthday code, a student discount, a key worker discount and adiClub member offers. Only one promotional code can be used per order.

The 20% birthday code

Register at adidas and add your date of birth to your account details, and adidas emails you an exclusive 20% off code around your birthday. The code is personal to your account and can’t be shared.

Students: 15% off with UNiDAYS

Students get 15% off at adidas after verifying their status with UNiDAYS. The discount works online at adidas.co.uk and in selected stores, applies to full-price items and excludes some ranges – the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 collection, for example. Student Beans also carries an adidas offer from time to time.

NHS, teachers and emergency services: the Blue Light route

NHS staff, emergency services, armed forces, teachers and social care workers can get an extra discount at adidas through Blue Light Card – currently listed as 10% off. Log in to your Blue Light Card account, open the adidas offer and copy the code before you shop.

Stop hunting for a free delivery code – join adiClub instead

You don’t need a free delivery code at adidas. Joining adiClub is free and gives you free standard delivery with no minimum spend. Without membership, standard delivery costs £3.99 and is free on orders over £40.

Outlet and sale: where the 60% off actually lives

The outlet and seasonal sales reach up to 60% off, and they don’t need a code. Discount codes usually can’t be combined with sale prices, so it’s worth checking which route is cheaper before you pay.

Is adiClub worth joining if you buy trainers twice a year?

Yes – free delivery alone covers it. adiClub is free to join, gives you free standard delivery from the first level, and you collect points on every order that convert into member discounts and rewards.

• Points: 10 points per £1 spent, plus points for product reviews and for activity logged in the adidas Running and Training apps.

Code rejected? Six things to check

An adidas discount code usually fails for one of these reasons:

• One code per order – remove any other code from the basket first.
• Sale items – most codes apply to full-price products only.
• Excluded ranges – collaborations, limited editions and selected collections are often excluded.
• Personal codes – birthday, student and Blue Light codes are tied to your account or verification and can’t be reused or shared.
• Not signed in – member offers only apply when you’re logged in to your adidas account.
• Expired code – check the date shown next to the offer on this page.

Where else to price-check a pair of trainers

Before you buy, compare the same model elsewhere – prices on popular trainers differ more than people expect:

• Nike discount codes – the closest alternative for trainers and sportswear,
• PUMA discount codes – football, running and lifestyle ranges,
• JD Sports discount codes – adidas lines alongside other brands, often with student offers,
• Sports Direct discount codes – budget prices across sports brands,
• Foot Locker discount codes – trainers and exclusive releases.
