REEBOK


Reebok International Limited is a British producer of athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories and is currently a subsidiary of Adidas AG.


Reebok was founded in 1895, in Bolton, Lancashire, by Joseph William Foster under a company called J.W. Foster and Sons Limited. In 1958, two of the founder's grandsons Jeffrey and Joseph left the family business and started a rival company in 1960 that came to be known as Reebok.
The name comes from Afrikaans/Dutch spelling of rhebok, a type of African antelope or gazelle. The company's founders, Joe and Jeff Foster, found the name in a dictionary won in a race by Joe Foster as a boy; the dictionary was a South African edition, hence the spelling.
Headquartered in Bolton, Engand, UK.
