Reebok International Limited is a subsidiary of Adidas AG, and producer of athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories. The name is the Afrikaans / Dutch spelling of the word rhebok, a type of African antelope or gazelle. The company, founded in 1895, was originally called Mercury Sports, but was renamed as 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.
Reebok is now owned by the German footwear giant Adidas, which completed acquisition in early 2006. Thats about it
