adidas Sells Reebok to Authentic Brands Group for $2.5 Billion

adidas has reportedly sold Reebok to Authentic Brands Group for $2.5 billion, according to Footwear News.

The sale arrives after years of the Three Stripes showing interest in selling the historic footwear brand. The push for the sale grew immensely during the pandemic as Reebok’s heavy U.S. presence was affected drastically. adidas reported that Reebok revenues were down 42 percent during the 2020 Q2 earnings report.

Authentic Brands Group has a stacked portfolio as Forever 21, Barneys New York, Air Walk, and others are under the ABG family. “ABG dedicates resources to giving back. Our brands mindfully engage in social and environmental activities and partnerships with the goal of bettering society,” according to the brand’s website.

Reebok was acquired by adidas in 2005 for $3.8 billion.

ABG has a lot to look forward to with Kerby Jean-Raymond leading and a new rededication to street hoops.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
