My understanding from years past (hopefully someone will correct if I'm wrong) is that they are the same boot as Salomon, just different graphics. Marketed in Europe, not North America. This was in the time of the bumblebee Salomons, before the Carbons came out. Don't know if this is still true, and if so, whether they're like Carbons or Race 9's.

Yes, Adidas. I've seen people locally (in the US) with the Adidas version of the Salomon Racing Skate 9, but not the Carbon Pro equivalents.
I bought a pair of Adidas Nagano Classic boots locally when I started skiing in '99, and I still like them very much - very comfortable, nice blue/white/black color pattern, and the same weight down to the tenth of an ounce as the Carbon Pro Classics that I won in a drawing.

I found a listing for the Adidas Skating/Classic Pro IIs and Skate/Classic Lite boots here:
