They've struggled to keep the reebok outlets open out here in Orlando.  Have scooped tons of iversons and club cs for dirt cheap

Reebok has been trying super hard recently pulling out all the stops, carbi b, power rangers, peppa pig, dime, palace.  But their shoes are constantly on sale. Idk of Reebok’s have been “cool” in the mainstream sense for a while.

Just make a skate team, make it easy for shops to get accounts and ride that wave for relevancy

Maybe adidas will treat Reebok like Nike did to Converse, and make them relevant again in a way that the old company never could.

Shops have always been able to order Reeboks through their Adidas account from what my local told me. Its just theres a small niche of skaters who would buy them.

Unless you follow Bronze, Palace, or a fan of Kareem Campbell trilogy part most people wouldn't know how good they skate. Just gotta make the stitching on the Club C toe box more durable and its the perfect cupsole.

Authentic brands is a graveyard. I'm guessing they're mostly sitting on all of these brands to unload or license out to Chinese companies. Reebok has been hurting forever, this is the last nail in the coffin.

I misread the post as implying that Reebok was just sold to adidas. I get it now, they’re essentially a Payless brand.

You seek difficult as a person.

Consistently difficult.

That's too bad Adidas couldn't make Reebok work. I live in NYC and you definitely see plenty of Club Cs in the wild. Not necessarily just skaters but also artsy kids. They're a really nice looking shoe. After seeing a photo of Jerry Hsu in a pair I had high hopes of a possible Reebok skate team with him as the veteran presence, but it seems as though Authentic is where things go to die.

My piping hot take that maybe Adidas could do something with Reebok, because I misunderstand the OP?

it's a bummer I also always thought they were two steps from a team a la NB. There's just one guy who arranges all the collabs with Bronze and sends SP shoes, I think

Reissue the stevie williams RBK. Had a lot of potential.

Someone post a pic. I’m too stupid.

I skated dgk clubs earlier this year. Great shoe better toe cap than the regular club c. Slightly more chunky but it’s an old design.

Also skated a pair of these (they feel just like the regular clubs)

As much as I’d like Reebok skateboarding to be a  thing, I don’t mind buying clubs on clearance, It’s probably my most consistent shoe.

I wish the sole and upper didn't become so squishy and unsupportive so quickly on Club C's

Speaking of Iverson, I wonder how or if the sale to Authentic Brands will effect the contract he originally signed with Reebok?

Full article - https://basketballforever.com/2020/07/02/allen-iverson-saved-reebok-going-broke (https://basketballforever.com/2020/07/02/allen-iverson-saved-reebok-going-broke)

So how has Reebok helped him?
In 2001, Iverson made a decision that would inevitably save him from his future self. He signed a very unique endorsement deal with Reebok. In addition to paying $800,000 a year for life, Reebok set aside $32 million in a trust fund that Allen will not be able to access until he turns 55 in the year 2030. This deal came to light when Allen’s ex-wife filed for divorce. As a result of the divorce, Allen will inherit half the trust fund in 2030.
