Founded in 1890 in Holcombe Brook England, the brand came out with the new idea of spiked athletic shoes to help athletes with the running. This idea has made Reebok a world famous brand later on. Reebok has been considered a top athletic shoe and sportswear brand long ago and it has appeared as the sponsor of several world famous sportsmen and women, teams of any and every sports and of numerous sports events. The company has been sold to Adidas in 2005 but has its separate working and research process and it is considered a single brand from the point of view of the customers. Reebok is one of the sports brands that have special focus on its footwear. Also, Reebok was the very first brand which realised the power of street style and as such it was the first sportswear brand which came out with special collections dedicated not to sportsmen but to hip-hop stars such as Jay-Z or 50 Cent.
