Reebok Watch For Men

Reebok International Limited, a subsidiary of the German company 

Adidas since 2005, is a producer of athletic shoes, apparel, and 

accessories. The name comes from the Afrikaans spelling of rhebok, a 

type of African antelope or gazelle. In 1890 in Holcombe Brook, a 

small village 6 miles north east of Bolton, United Kingdom, Joseph 

William Foster was making a living producing regular running shoes 

when he came up with the idea to create a novelty spiked running 

shoe. After his ideas progressed he joined with his sons, and 

founded a shoe company named J.W. Foster and Sons in 1895.

In 1958, two of the founder's grandsons Joe and Jeff Foster renamed 

the company Reebok in the United Kingdom, having found the name in a 

dictionary won in a race by Joe Foster as a boy; the dictionary was 

South African edition hence the spelling. The company lived up to 

the J.W. Foster legacy, manufacturing first-class footwear for 

customers throughout the UK. In 1979, Paul Fireman, a US sporting 

goods distributor, saw a pair of Reeboks at an international trade 

show and negotiated to sell them in North America.
