Men's Reebok Fashion Brand

Reebok designs, manufactures, distributes and sells fitness, running and CrossFit sportswear including clothing and footwear. That filing sentence is a full business description in four verbs - designs, manufactures, distributes and sells, the whole chain from drawing board to shop floor - and three sports: fitness, running and CrossFit, named as the fields its sportswear serves. The clothing line includes t-shirts, hoodies and pants among other items, which makes Reebok one of the few profiles on this hub to name actual men's garments: the tee, the hoodie and the training pant, the standard kit of its sports.

Reebok is a global athletic footwear and apparel company, operating as a subsidiary of Adidas since 2005 - a dated statement, given here as recorded. The directory's own filing follows the link: the Reebok page cross-links the Adidas men's brand page in this directory's A section, and carries both an About Reebok company profile and a Reebok News route in the Names and news sections, all in this page's links.

1958: A Companion Company, and the Union Jack Years

In 1958, Reebok was established as a companion company to J.W. Foster and Sons, founded in 1895 in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. Two foundings are nested in that sentence: the parent house in 1895, the companion company sixty-three years later, both English, the younger created alongside the elder rather than instead of it. From 1958 until 1986, Reebok apparel featured a Union Jack flag. Twenty-eight years of clothing carried the flag of its country of origin on the garment itself - the flag is a feature of the apparel specifically, which is why it belongs in a clothing directory's profile and not just a footwear history.

For a men's buyer, the history explains the brand's shape today: an English running-shoe house that grew into a global athletic footwear and apparel company, still filed by the sports it serves rather than by fashion seasons. When you shop the range - t-shirts, hoodies and pants - you are shopping training clothing from a fitness and running company, sized and built for activity first.

Fitness, Running and CrossFit

The three fields deserve reading in their own order. Fitness is the general field, running is the founding field - the Bolton house's sport - and CrossFit is the named training discipline, the most specific of the three. A brand that files itself by fitness, running and CrossFit is telling the menswear shopper that its clothing line - the tees, hoodies and pants - is workout clothing, and its footwear is training and running footwear; the page title adds sneakers and running shoes as the headline footwear, which this page's shopping boxes reflect.

The rest of the page is the directory's standard research set for this section - the Men's Fashion Brands pages, Fashion Brands, Popular Fashion Brands, men's clothing stores and wholesalers, menswear buyers and men's fashion news - all in this page's links, alongside the Adidas, company-profile and news routes noted above.
