Is Reebok Boston done?

Vector stripe · 2022-06-06T12:20:13-04:00

Noticed on the Rabat Diamond League womens 3000 that Amy-Eloise Markovc of Reebok Boston was wearing a generic light blue top, her British Olympic team briefs, and Nike spikes (could not tell if the swoosh was ripped off).Did she leave Reebok Boston, or is Reebok done sponsoring the team? If I recall, Reebok is being sold (has been sold by adidas).

Similar to what happened last time Reebok was sold - they will honor the existing endorsement deals but one they expire there will not be a renewal. And the athletes are free to find a new endorsement deal during this time. Good group of runners down in Virginia and I hope they all find new sponsors.

The last time Reebok gave up the idea of making shoes for distance runners the had been sponsoring ZAP Fitness. They kept on doing so for years after they were essentially gone from the distance running market and the ZAP people all had Reebok shoes to race in. I never understood why that was the case. And they kept Steve Jones on an endorsement deal through all that time. As far as I know he still could have one.

Any brand that is not selling a whole bunch of RUNNING SHOES will eventually cancel sponsoring athletes.
It doesn’t matter if they sell shoes in other sports. It must sell in RUNNING to continue.
Puma—Under Armor—Reebok—Skechers all flirt with sponsorship for 5 or 6 years then disappear from running.
What is a shame is that Reebok running shoes don't sell better. Their floatride branded models over the past few years has been nothing short of top notch. And at great prices. $100 for top notch daily trainers as a start.

Can a shoe expert tell me the best cheap trainer out there? I just went to the Reebok site and those shoes are almost all 20-30% more than $100. Some are even $170.

Does it bother you that Justin Knight wears them too?

That shoe looks exactly like what Keith Kelly had to wear back the day. Anyway, marketing doesn’t equal a requirement nor proficiency.

Seriously. The first couple gen of floatrides have been fantastic.

My thought is that they outshone their parent company which said "all day i dream about screwing-you"

re: crowley

Do those look like super spikes to you, Crowley? For a troll, you surely should know that those are not super spikes. If Reebok isn’t making a carbon spike, should the athletes be punished by not using technology that everyone else is using they might be worth 1 second a lap?

Speaking of troll, you aren't even registered and need to post anonymously constantly. Why does this bother you so much. Give it a rest

We know Puma sponsored Bolt and other sprinters. Puma also tries to sell shoes to distance runners for stretches of time, doesn't have many locations where one can see and buy their shoes, and then disappears as far as distance runners are concerned.
He didn't say distance running, he said "running." Puma didn't, doesn't and won't disappear from running - pretty simple. If he meant something different, he should/could have used different words.

Molly trains in Puma ... I don’t think the shoe is going anywhere

Chris Fox is rumored to be a finalist for the Auburn Job. If that's the case Reebok Boston may not have a coach soon.

That's where he ran. Sounds like a no brainer for him to get the job.
