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

 The company, founded in 1895, was originally called Mercury Sports but was renamed Reebok in 1960.
 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.
 Primarily selling its products in the U.K., 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.
 Reebok has marketed itself using a variety of ad campaigns.
