What is "ADIDAS" on my bank statement?
ADIDAS is usually a legitimate charge from Adidas for shoes, apparel, or sports gear bought online or in-store.
Merchant: Adidas | Category: Shopping
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Adidas reflects a purchase at Adidas, the global sportswear company founded in 1949 in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Adidas sells shoes, apparel, accessories, and sports gear through its website, mobile app, outlet stores, and branded retail locations. Adidas operates thousands of retail points worldwide, and a statement charge usually means you bought a product online or in a store. A descriptor that includes ADIDAS is usually a normal shopping transaction.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears because you completed a purchase with Adidas using a debit card, credit card, or digital wallet. It can also appear after an online order ships, after an in-store tap-to-pay purchase, or after a preauthorization converts into a final charge. If you bought shoes, clothing, or training gear from adidas.com, the charge may post under a slightly different merchant descriptor than the checkout page showed. A charge can also appear if you used a saved card in the Adidas app or placed an order through an Adidas store associate.
Typical Charge Amounts
Most Adidas statement charges are in the $25 to $250 range for a single retail purchase. Socks, hats, and small accessories often cost $15 to $40, while running shoes and sneakers commonly cost $80 to $180. Premium shoes, jackets, and bundled orders can reach $200 to $350 before tax and shipping. A temporary card hold may show as $1.00, $0.00, or the full order amount before the final posted charge replaces it.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
Check your Adidas account order history at https://www.adidas.com/us/order-tracker or in the Adidas app to match the amount, date, and items. Review your email for an order confirmation, shipping notice, or store receipt that matches the charge. If you do not recognize the transaction, call Adidas customer service at 1-800-982-9337 and ask for the order number tied to the descriptor. If the merchant cannot verify the charge, contact your bank or card issuer immediately and report the transaction as unauthorized.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Log in to your Adidas account and open the order details to check whether the item has shipped, because shipped orders usually cannot be canceled. 2. If the order is still pending, contact Adidas support at 1-800-982-9337 and request cancellation or a return authorization. 3. For eligible returns, follow the return instructions in your order email or on adidas.com, because return windows are commonly limited to 30 days from delivery. 4. If the merchant will not resolve the issue, file a dispute with your bank or card issuer and provide the order number, screenshots, and any email proof.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Adidas charge show as ADIDAS*ONLINE?
ADIDAS*ONLINE usually means the purchase came from adidas.com or the Adidas app rather than a physical store. Online orders often post with a descriptor that includes ONLINE, US, or ORDER, and the final amount may appear after tax or shipping is added.
How do I cancel my Adidas subscription?
Adidas does not usually bill as a subscription merchant for normal retail purchases, so first check whether the charge is for an order, membership, or app-related service. Log in to your Adidas account, review active orders, and contact support at 1-800-982-9337 if you need to stop a pending order or ask about recurring billing.
Why is my Adidas charge a different amount than expected?
The amount can differ because sales tax, shipping, or a temporary card authorization was added before the final charge posted. If you bought multiple items, the charge may reflect the shipped items only, and a canceled item may be removed or refunded later.
Can Adidas charges come from an outlet store or mall location?
Yes, Adidas charges can come from a branded store, outlet, or mall location and still show only as ADIDAS on your statement. Store numbers or location codes may appear after the name, such as ADIDAS STORE 045 or ADIDAS US 7821.
What should I do if I do not recognize an Adidas charge?
First check your Adidas account, email receipts, and family member purchases to confirm whether the charge is yours. If you still cannot match it, call Adidas at 1-800-982-9337 and then dispute it with your bank if the merchant cannot provide a valid order number.
