Adidas sells Rockport for $280 million

26/01/2015
German sportswear brand adidas has sold Rockport for $280 million to a new entity formed by private equity firm Berkshire Partners and US-based New Balance.

Adidas took on Rockport after buying Reebok in 2006, but has said the sale will result in a "double-digit million euro" hit to 2014 profit.
