The Reebok Freestyle Hi in history
During the late 1970s, Reebok started gaining traction in the US market. Garnering $1.5 million in sales two years after being initially introduced in the North American market, they became unstoppable until the first years of the 1980s.
In 1982, Reebok made a smart move by introducing the first athletic shoe line specifically made for women. The brand released the Reebok Freestyle for cardio and stretch sessions. The classic look became so popular that it has also turned into a well-celebrated pair among male clients.
This silhouette easily catapulted Reebok into the mainstream sneakers market and seamlessly turned into a fashionable kick. Later on, it was then considered one of the most famous athletic kicks of all time.
During the peak of aerobics obsession in the '80s, the Reebok Freestyle was distributed using glove-soft leather. It was used in Jane Fonda’s Workout VHS, which instantly caused an upswing in the shoe's sales. Sometime after that, it earned a whopping $13 million in sales (comprising half of Reebok’s total sales that year).
From then on, the company started funding clinics and workout programs from the 1980s to the 1990s. From aerobics, this shoe was able to transition into a casual shoe.
