I think this is a sign of Reebok’s attempt to become a fashion designer that happens to make sneakers. They can’t compete with Nike on endorsement deals, so they have chosen to go in a different direction.

I think it’ll be shoes like these that’ll help Reebok - not because it gains market share in the existing structure, but because it gains market share in, for them, new markets.

I understand its a niche, but they’re making me talk about them.  Isn’t that a start?
