>>In 1979, Paul Fireman, a partner in an outdoor sporting goods distributorship, spotted Reebok® shoes at an international trade show. He negotiated for the North American distribution license and introduced three running shoes in the U.S. that year. At $60, they were the most expensive running shoes on the market.

By 1981, Reebok's sales exceeded $1.5 million, but a dramatic move was planned for the next year. Reebok would introduce the first athletic shoe designed especially for women; a shoe for a hot new fitness exercise called aerobic dance.

The shoe was called the Freestyleâ„¢, and with it Reebok anticipated and encouraged three major trends that transformed the athletic footwear industry: the aerobic exercise movement, the influx of women into sports and exercise
and the acceptance of well-designed athletic footwear by adults for street and casual wear.<<
