Adidas’ store at Taobao Mall will be the brand's official online retail channel in China.

Christophe Bezu, managing director of Adidas Group China, said, “This special initiative addresses our Chinese consumers' changing lifestyle needs and we will now be able to provide them with an official online shopping channel to purchase authentic and even exclusive products at their own convenience."

Adidas will directly manage the operation of the Taobao store and it is set to carry more than 200 products. The sportsware retailer expects to offer up to 800 branded products in the near future.

Taobao Mall was established in 2008. Current official partners include Uniqlo, P&G, Lenovo, Dell, Li Ning, Kohler and Samsung. Taobao says the Mall recorded transaction volume of US$103 million in the first six months of this year.
