The adidas' 'Original Superstar' trainer has been redesigned to create the 'Superstar Ravi', reflecting white and green colors of the restaurant, also a nod to the Pakistani flag
Adidas has asked for first round bids to be submitted next week and is expecting China's Anta Sports and Li Ning to hand in offers, with Korea's Fila and US-based Wolverine also seen as possible bidders, the sources, who are all familiar with the situation, said.
For Chinese buyers the appeal could be dented by consumer boycotts of Western fashion brands in the country over comments they did not use cotton sourced from Xinjiang.
