This logo is actually really easy to do, if you know your way around photoshop, or just some.. uhh..
geometry ^^, in real life of course, we dont need rulers to make 90 degrees triangle on computer
. So, lets start!
Make a new 500*500 document, and make its background black.
Make a new layer by clicking the layer icon in Layers tab, or just go "layer->new layer...".
Now, what we are going to do is take any color, beside black and white as our forerground, I will just use blue,
take the Polygonal Lasso tool, and make a 90 degress triangle, and paint it in color you choose. You should now have this:

Make sure 90 degrees is in the lower right corner, otherwise adidas logo wont be like it should be!
Ok, now lets take the Line Tool:

Now lets make a quite big diagonal line, I will choose my size of 50 pixels, but it changes as the logo size.
Now, make a diagonal line so it cuts the lower right part from upside, like this:

Now, what we are going to do, is duplicate our line layer, by selecting it, and clicking CTRL+J, or going
"edit->duplicate", to duplicate our layer, now, lets put it about 30 "clicks" left from first line. Select the upper
line layer, and click CTRL+T, or go "edit->free transform", and first what we are going to do is to make our right part of the line is on the left side of the first line, like this:

And now click the left arrow for 30 times, your line should be now here:

Now, lets repeat this step with the second line
, and remember if it goes outside the triangle, you can always usefree transform on the triangle to make it wider or bigger, but be sure not to extend the right side!
Ok, when you have repeated this you should now have 3 lines, at the exact same distance:

Now comes the easy part.
Ok so lets rasterize all the line layers. You right click on them and click "rasterize layer".
Now merge them all into one by clicking CTRL+E twice while on top one, or just select them all, right click and
"merge layers".
You should now have this:

Ok now right click+thumbnail of the blue triangle or select blue triangle layer and go Select->Load Selection...
and click ok, to select the blue triangle.
Ok now while we have our selection, click the lines layer, go Select->Inverse, and click delete!
Two only things left!
First, delete or hide the blue triangle layer, and add a nice "adidas" text!
And now, if you've done everything ok you should have this!
I blurred the text and lines layer with gaussian blur by 0.5 pixels, to smooth the edges
