Reebok is one of the oldest sportswear company's on the planet. In 1890, a shoemaker named J.W. Foster who lived near Bolton, developed the first running shoes with spikes. This gave runners the ability to run faster as the shoes had more grip.
(Not good for road running) lol
Today the brand is owned by Adidas. But it has kept it's identity and is still one of the most identiyable shoe styles around along with Ben Sherman, Fred Perry and Rolls Royce.
