Reebok is full of a bunch of elitist a-holes; the company has a higher sense of self that needs to be slapped in the face with the reality that it's a second-tier shoe company and always has been. Their shoes and equipment in general is complete crap...and every running store in the country knows it - which is why Reebok has to beg to get their shoes on the walls of any respectable retailer.
It was only a matter of time they got a reality check. Adidas doesn't want to lose money because of Reebok's sub par reputation...so they made cuts. Why pay a bunch of Reebok reps to go begging for contracts with specialty running stores, who, in general, will only buy a limited quantity of their product to begin with...why? Because their product WILL NOT SELL!
Reebok shoes are poorly made, poorly designed, and will not sell well no matter what the reps do. That's the bottom line.
