Companies that manufacture shoes in the world (7) : REEBOK

History of Reebok in the shoe industry

Reebok brand got its beginnings back in 1958 when it branched as a sister company JW Foster and Sons. Beginning in 1895, JW Foster and Sons began manufacturing shoes and selling them all over the UK. Although they never garnered much attention, they were successful enough to be worn by the athletes in the 1924 Summer Olympics.

Then in 1958, the grandson of Foster decided to branch out to form a new company which they called Reebok. They chose the name Reebok, which means African Gazelle, because they want to portray speed, style, and grace. Although the company was selling shoes at a decent level in the UK, they still have trouble getting attention on a world wide scale.

However, in 1979 this will all change. On the occasion of International Trade sneaker Chicago, Paul Fireman noticed the Reebok brand saw great potential in the Reebok brand, as well as high quality. Fireman feels that quality alone will make this brand a hit with the North American population. Without wasting anytime, Fireman negotiated a deal to license and distribute the Reebok brand in the United States, but now that Reebok USA was born. In the same year, Fireman introduced three running shoes to the market. He had so much confidence that he is the product priced at $ 60 shoes, making the offer the highest prices in the market. In 1981, Reebok United States has exceeded $ 1.5 million in sales, and this is all done by simply selling shoes.

In 1982, the company took steps that took the sneaker industry. Reebok introduced the first athletic shoe for women. This step helps Reebok grab market share in most of the 1980's. Later in 1989, Reebok introduced the Pump to the basketball world. These shoes are specially designed with basketball in mind. used shoes air bladder that can be inflated by a small pump located in the tongue of the shoe. pump is in the form of basketball, and when it will expand push bladder so the shoes will adjust tightly at the ankle. This shoe is designed to take on the "Nike Air", and debuted with a sticker price of $ 170, almost double the price of other basketball shoes. But despite the huge price difference Reebok has hit. Over a period of four years they sold more than 20 million pairs worldwide.

These huge sales figures helped by Boston Celtic rookie Dee Brown in the 1991 All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest. Brown out for sports competition the black, white, and orange pumps. At the moment that will forever be remembered by basketball fans, before Brown took to his final dunk he bent over and pumped his Reeboks. After throwing clinching dunk contest (covering his eyes with his arm) he leaned forward and deflate pump nya.Reebok instant notoriety as children everywhere feel like these shoes can bring their game to the pro level.

But as soon as it took off, the pump began to fade from the public eye. This leaves the Reebok without a number one seller, and scrambling for a big break through. As sales continued to decline throughout the 90's, Reebok was looking for a way to regain market share is dominated by Nike. After numerous failed attempts to produce a result, Reebok decided to seek support as a way to increase brand awareness.

In 1996, they pegged newcomers NBA Allen Iverson as a target. From 1996 to 2000, and Reebok Iverson had a lot of success promoting the brand both on and off the field. With Iverson quickly becoming an NBA superstar, shoes, known as the "answer" is to sell quickly and helping to bring Reebok back to the forefront of the industry. In 2001, Reebok made a huge commitment to Iverson by signing him to a long life to ensure that he sports the brand until his days in the NBA is over.

Then in 2005, during the weekends NBA All-Star Reebok introduced the new ATR (Above the Rim) Pumps. This shoe is based off of the same technology as the original pump, but this time the pump is located on the outer ankle boots. Again allow for athletes to get a perfect fit. During the 2005 All-Star game, NBA superstar Allen Iverson and Yao Ming ATR Pump showcase to the world. This industry gave their first look at the new pump in action. Besides Iverson and Ming, superstar Steve Francis, Baron Davis, and Jerome Williams also wore a new pump.

Shortly after its debut the new ATR Pump, Reebok was shaken once again. They were bought by German Adidas-Salomon for $ 3.78 billion. The reason for the merger is quite obvious to everyone in the shoe industry. Reebok and Adidas duel constantly out for second place behind the shoe giant Nike. They feel that by joining forces, they may be able to topple Nike and became the number one manufacturer of shoes in the world. But they still have a long way to go before it comes to fruition. In 2004, Nike has approximately 36% market share in U.S. footwear industry, where as Adidas and Reebok combined for about 21%.

With Reebok joining hands with Adidas, they seek to regain the popularity they had experienced in the 90's. By continuing to develop and market products around superstar NBA, Reebok kicks will soon again become popular among ballers in the world.

Companies that manufacture shoes in the world (3) : PUMA AND ADIDAS

ADIDAS and PUMA, ALWAYS COMPETING BUT TIGHT.

If heard two brand names must have been familiar ga. Adidas and Puma is famous brand name. Some people in the world, especially the world erapa people are more familiar and more familiar with Adidas products output, but also a little ga who know or prefer products made in Puma.

Know whether you, if in fact the founder of two famous brands is a pair of brother and sister were born to families khususya father, who worked making shoes? for this must have occurred ga. Well that's why I want to discuss two of these famous brands. Other than that I've just watched a documentary about two brothers that had a great influence in the world war and the football world.

Adidas AG is a manufacturer of sports clothing from germany and the parent company of the adidas Group excluding Reebok company, Ashworth, Rockpot. In addition to producing sportswear, is now beginning to spread to sunglasses, watches, shirts, bags. Adidas was founded by the inventor Adolf "Adi" Dassler and registered in 1949. At that time also create a symbol of three black lines resembling shoes even now still being used.

Puma (Puma SE) is the same company that was formed by the founder of Adidas brother, Rudolf Dassler. Puma itself was established in 1947, originally the name of his company called Ruda which combines the name of the founder Rudolf Dassler Rudolf but later changed it to a puma Puma with a symbol that will jump. Puma also has major offices in Germany together with Adidas.

The founder of the famous brand has more than his father work the same background, the shoemakers and shoe maker has a small company. Van Wilhelm Christoph Dassler was a worker of the factory shoemaker and his wife Pauline in the laundry business run a Bavarian town of Herzogenaurach. The eldest son, Rudolf was the earliest to join the ayahnyadi where his father worked making shoes. Adolf or what is often called by the name Adi, producing shoes for the first time in his mother's kitchen. In 1924 after returning from duty in World War I, Adi founded a small company called "Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik (Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory)" after her sister decided to join work producing shoes. The company is on the run with it - indeed by two brothers originally ini.Kantor was still in his mother's laundry. And whether you know? if shoe production was originally made ​​from the hard and heavy (if not wrong of iron), but then immediately updated into the shoes more comfortable to wear.

Adidas shoes the first time in production

Two brothers attempt to introduce their products include advanced (by the author), they've dared to become a sponsor for athletes. Athletes who are fortunate Jesse Owen, a sprinter blooded African-American at that moment right there all summer Olympics in 1936. At the time Owen got gold medals and instantly Dassler brothers name an instant hit, people - people began to be interested in buying their shoes. Sales reached 200,000 shoe market was sold before World War II.

Well, after the success obtained, the Dassler brothers in dera trial (which resulted in the two companies were formed). Actually the reason they disagree is because of a misunderstanding. At the time of Rudolf and Adi together - join together in the Nazi party, there was a time when the allies attacked. Adi is trying to escape with his family by way of climbing brought them refuge where Rudolf and his family already there first. Adi spontaneously emit words - the real rant aimed for the allied forces who attacked them, but for Rudolf word - word and his family. And then him when he was arrested on the participation of American soldiers Warren SS role in the organization, he blamed his sister was the cause him to be like that.

This dispute has become a hot topic really in their home town of Herzogenaurach, even in the city until the ball has two clubs that support ASV Herzogenaurach by Adidas, while FC Herzogenaurach in support by Puma. In 1948 after World War II Puma had dominated his existence, the West German soccer team wore Puma shoes production and Athletes Jorsey Barthel of Luxembourg also wear Puma USIM summer Olympics 1952.

Something interesting when Armin Harry athlete, a sprinter who paid for by Puma as part of the sponsor. Harry previously used Adidas, Adidas charging the Puma as their pay. At that Adidas refused to pay the athlete, but when the athlete decides to use the Puma and win the game, he even claimed to use Adidas shoes was the one who made ​​him get the gold medal. This makes the owner of Adidas furious.

This dispute lasted until the end of their death, the two brothers never got along despite ga buried in one grave. As long as they try to get away at odds with each other as far as possible.

That's the sad story behind the success of Brand Adidas and Puma. Although the two companies finally had a chance to make peace when the famous football player, Pele wants tied to both companies simultaneously, tetep wrote very unfortunate if the founders to the end keep a sense of revenge, but they were brothers.

Create a writer does, if you want the appeal - compare which product is better or famous, after knowing its history writers think they are successful and great. While Adidas has a wide - range of products are more varied but less cool Puma also ga. Essentially they are both great, even according to the story, famouslly they could make two allies who fought in World War II had come together just because of football. The power of marketing * (Which certainly inherited from parents), their persistence, their courage was able to make two great companies that are now so successful and well known in the whole world.

Companies that manufacture shoes in the world (2) : NIKE

Development of Nike Shoes

Nike, Inc.. is one of the company's shoes, apparel, and sporting goods in the United States, which is one of the largest in the world. They are famous because they are able to sponsor several world-renowned athletes such as Tiger Woods, Ronaldo, and Michael Jordan. In addition, Nike company also has a contract / agreement with a variety of world football teams such as Manchester United, Barcelona, Arsenal, Basel, Juventus, Clube de Regatasd Flamengo, Steaua Bucuresti, AC Sparta Praha, Red Star Belgrade, Inter Milan, VFL Bochum, VFL Wolfsburg, and much more. However, there is news that says that they are often accused of employing children - minors. And that statement is certainly making a name Nike is a little tarnished.

History of Nike

1964

Based from the name of the Greek goddess of the means of victory, Nike was founded in 1964 when an athlete once mahasis accounting at the University of Oregon named Phillip Knight, mengagas running shoes imported from Japan to compete with German brands such as Adidas and Puma were later dominated the U.S. market. The advantage is that the Japanese shoes cheaper because labor is cheaper in Japan.

1970

He started selling shoes around with a purpose athletics stadium, where sales are slowly but surely increasing dramatically. In the 1970s, Knight and his growing company saw the beginning of the revolution and start jogging mmasaran products for non-professional runners as well. He then immediately open up a broader market and change the image of running shoes to fashion shoes and attract everyone from children to adults to wear.

1979-present

In 1979, Nike running shoes are the major ones in the country - states. And this year, Nike has mastered half the market in the U.S. and with revenues reaching U.S. $ 149 million. In 1980, Nike had reached 50% market share in the U.S. athletic shoe market, and the company went public in December of that year. Its growth was due largely to the advertising "word-of-foot" (to quote a Nike print ad the late 1970s), from television commercials. Nike television commercials nasionl first took place in October 1982 during the broadcast of the New York Marathon. Ads created by advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy, which had formed several months sbelumnya in April 1982. Can we look like in the mid-1980s, Nike company is not deterred, until in the end there is a strong competitor vukup Reebok. At the time the sale is above Nike Reebok had suddenly. But in 1990 Nike re-lead the company, especially since the introduction of the shoes "Air Jordan" supported and promoted by basketball star Michael Jordan.

Nike is the company ethos involves a strong dedication to sports and fitness. Staff at the company headquarters, Nike World Campus in Beaverton, Oregon, is expected to spend several hours each day in the gym. They are described by the director of Nike as "athletic, outdoor, lets-do-it-together types.

Companies want to be seen, in the words of the OWII, as a young, American and hi-tech enterprise, devoting a lot of attention to research and development.

Nike developments in Asia

Apart from a brief but unsuccessful experiment with manufacturing in the U.S., Nike shoes are always made in Asia, first in Japan, then in South Korea and Taiwan, and more recently in China and Southeast Asia. Nike began production in South Korea and Taiwan in 1972, attracted by cheap labor there, and was soon joined by other companies including Adidas and Reebok. But Nike then initiate further steps. Instead of having their own factories, they contracted local production in Korea and Taiwan.

As the company Nike boss Phil Knight said: "There is no definite value in making something. Value is added by careful research, by innovation and marketing" (Katz 1994). Nike now basically follow the idea of a designer and marketer of footwear. Industry then performed by suppliers Korea and Taiwan. Again, other companies follow this model.

In the 1980s, Nike tried to make production in China, in partnership with state-owned companies, but it is actually disastrous. Nike then move investments into Taiwan. Nike then take advantage of the labor costs are cheaper there.

In the late 1980's with the labor unrest in South Korea-increasing levels of wages and loss of control of the workplace by the Korean authorities - have made the country less attractive to investors, both foreign and domestic, who began looking for another location more fun. Nike then moved their operations to southern Thailand and Indonesia, in search of cheaper labor and less hassle. Wages in both countries touted as one of the cheap because it only uses a quarter of the rates paid in South Korea. Some associations Nike is headquartered in Taiwan also established in Southeast Asia.

Another reason for this shift is that in 1988, both South Korea and Taiwan to lose preferential access to the U.S. market, which has long as they enjoy the status of "developing countries" under the General System of Preferences (GSP), U.S.. Korea and Taiwan investors and then moved to a factory in Thailand, Indonesia and China by making use of GSP privileges from poor countries. Of the seven top suppliers of Nike sports shoes in 1992, three is a Taiwanese company that manufactures its products in China, the other three operations in South Korea, and also in Indonesia, one is a company in Thailand.

The development of Nike in Indonesia

Nike has been operating in Indonesia since 1988 and nearly a third of the existing shoe is a product of it. In a press interview in November 1994, the company Nike in Indonesia coordinator, Tony Band, said the company used a total of 11 contractors in Indonesia. Among these is the base marks associated company Nike in South Korea and Taiwan, which are also at the same time produce for other brands like Reebok, Adidas and Puma.

The relationship between Nike and contractors in Indonesia is quite close. Each Nike personnel in each factory in Indonesia to check the quality and workmanship that meet the stringent requirements of Nike. Most of the factories producing for Nike is located in a newly developed area for light industry and Serang in Tangerang, west of Jakarta. In the Korean-owned factory, top management held by the Koreans. mid-level managers and supervisors can also come from Korea or Indonesia. But all production workers are from Indonesia, especially young women in the 16-22 age group, usually workers from Java

History of Shoes (4) : Growth Soccer Shoes on Earth

Surely you all must know the uniqueness of football shoes is not it? Yes, football shoes do have their own color that distinguishes it from the shoes in other sports. Soccer shoes have spikes or spike on the bottom are stuck on the ground to make sure users do not skid or slip when playing football on grass. In contrast to futsal, the sport of futsal shoes are designed very similar to futsal shoes, but at the bottom of the shoes were not there as a nail or spike soccer shoes have, at the bottom were replaced with similar soles with rubber, felt very rough when touched this indicates that futsal shoes used on a flat surface and different hardware used soccer shoes over the media in the form of grass a little bumpy and soft nature.

So far, we see that the soccer shoes is an ordinary equipment, but it boots commonly used by the footballer has a history that is quite unique. Footballer initially allowed to use any type of shoes on the field. Then in 1863 the FIFA regulations, one of which reads "Who does not use shoes with protruding nails, iron plates, or latex rubber on the soles of his shoes were not allowed to play".

Given this rule makes an idea of the cobbler in the UK and Europe to create a shoe that suits the FIFA regulations. Businesses had special shoes soccer is only made ​​in the household scale. In 1895, Joe and Jeff Foster founded the JW Foster and Sons in Bolton UK before they named the Reebok on thun 1985. Since January 1905 Herman Jansen made ​​the stores and workshops as well as at home Hengelo, eastern Netherlands. In the same year came the Gola shoe makers in England.


If we try to look at the football players, surely all the same equipment except shoes. This is due to the very diverse types of soccer shoes today. There is a thicker texture, shape etc. slim or wide. According to the players own football boots difference a normal thing because it reflected the identity of a football player. With such high-tech shoes today, players can take full advantage of its own in accordance with the shoe. One is the technique of curling shoot, shoes can add the resulting rotation so that the ball moves curved than usual. Curious is not a soccer shoe technology that is increasingly magical? The following is a series of football shoes development history of the early 20th century up to the draft estimates in the future!


History of soccer shoes when divided in the form of periodization consists of 7 era, namely:

The 1900's to 1940's

This era style football boots arguably still primitive and relatively constant, especially until the end of World War II. The most significant event in the world of football boots in the early twentieth century was the formation of some manufacturer of football boots is still active, some of which are Gola in 1905, Valsport in 1920, and the Danish shoemaker football, Hummel in 1923 .

In Germany, Adolf and Rudolf Dassler brothers built a factory with the name Schuhfabrik Gebruder Dassler (Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory) in Herzogenaurach in 1924 and began producing football shoes in 1925 with six or seven pul products that can be changed according to the weather conditions during play.

The 1940s to the 1960s

The end of the second world war record of significant matters in the development of football shoes, due to air travel and football equipment that is cheaper and more widely played. This can be observed by looking at the football shoes turn out to be lighter, more flexible worn by teams from South America that began to appear to the world stage, their skills and abilities in playing with "the ball" made the world marvel at them. The manufacturer of football boots began to shift to create a more lightweight football boot with a focus on kicking and controlling the ball, not to produce just as protective footwear.

In 1948 was the beginning of the formation of Adidas company by Adolf (Adi) Dassler after a fight with his mind as well as its partners in the Gebrüder Schuhfabrik, Rudolf Dassler who eventually founded his own company, Puma also in 1948 and this is the cause of the company's competitive shoe makers from the first until the today. The heat of the competition between these two companies led to the development of football shoes originally marked a screw that can be nailed to the start of football boots made of plastic or rubber for the first time in 1950. Both companies also claim that mutual discovery theirs. In this era when football boots still on his ankles began to search for new inventions to make shoes lighter for players using a mixture of synthetic and leather.

1960

Era is an important step in the development of soccer shoes can be seen from the design of the shoe is cut lower ankle was introduced for the first time in the history of football. This allows the players to move faster and more freely in the field. At the 1962 World Cup, seen the likes of Pele wore Puma shoes from the output. Even so, Adidas quickly appeared and began to move as the market leader even to this day. At the World Cup four years later in 1966, about 75% of the players wearing football boots Adidas output. In this era also began to appear more soccer shoe maker with the brand and also style themselves as Mitre in 1960, Joma in 1965, and Asics in 1964.

1970

In the era of the '70s began with the iconic widely from each company football boots. For example, there was Pele wearing Puma King football boots. Era itself will be remembered which way the company has an icon of football shoes each, in which players are paid to wear only one brand. In terms of the other, the resulting shoe is also lighter. Color shoes had also started to vary, including for the first time, a plain white football boots.

In 1979, the company generated sales of Adidas shoes the best football shoes, with kangaroo leather that is considered capable of creating more speed and flexibility than its predecessor. Although Adidas remained dominant in the market, several other football shoe company joined one company from Italy, Diadora in 1977.

1980s

The biggest developments in recent times in the design and technology of football boots developed in the eighties by former player Craig Johnston, who created the Predator football boot type, which finally released by Adidas in 1990. Johnston designed it to provide greater traction among denganbola football boots and football boots to the ground. The design allowed for a larger surface area to come into contact with the ball while being hit by a football boot, with a series of power and aberrant zones within the striking allows players to create more power and swerve when hitting the "sweet spot". The eighties also saw for the first time football boots made by Umbro UK company in 1985, and Italy and Spain are the Lotto, and Kelme in 1982

1990s

In 1994 Adidas Predator design daro see Craig Johnston as a revolutionary style, design and technology so that they can instant and lasting success. Predator was featured polymer extrusion technologies and materials allow for more flexible inidividu and replaced with conventional bladed design, providing a more stable base for the players. In 1995, Adidas released their bladed traxion outsole technology that shaped tapered blade. Puma hit back in 1996 with football boots foam-free midsole, known as the Puma Cell Technology, which Adidas responded again, this time with a wedge-shaped footwear in the same year.

Nineties producers began to look new as Mizuno football boots which is their release of Mizuno Wave in 1997. Other new football boots came from Reebok in 1992 and in 1993 with Uhlsport other companies have also joined the ever increasing market, profitable and competitive. Most significant is the inclusion of the nineties Nike, the largest sportswear manufacturer in the world, immediately made an impact with Nike Mercurial football shoes in 1998 that weighs only 200g.

As the technology is further, the application of new research and developments seen in recent years into the new millennium through to today and this has led to the strengthening of the market position of the three major makers and sellers speatu football, Puma, Nike and Adidas (joined by Reebok since 2006). Fortunately, there is still room in the market for small producers who do not have a support contract money at his disposal, such as Mizuno, Diadora, Lotto, Hummel and Nomis. Recent developments since 2000 have seen the Craig Johnston Pig Shoes (2003), shark technology by Kelme (2006) and the outstanding design of the shoe Zhero Lotto Gravity laceless football (2006) all of which support the success of the smaller makers can achieve with produce specialized and technologically advanced football boots that provide distinct differentiation from the mass produced products of the big three (Adidas, Nike, Puma).

The application of the latest in soccer shoes is the use of laser technology has been applied to a number of your favorite brand of soccer shoes, such as Adidas F50, Tunit and Predator, Nike Mercurial Vapor III, Air Zoom Total 90, and the Tiempo Ronaldinho, Reebok Pro Rage and Umbro X.

Debate soccer shoe manufacturers in the future is about the lack of protection offered by modern football boots. This is evident from the increasing number of injured football player. Manufacturer of soccer shoes can now be challenged to create a shoe that is light, but it can provide maximum protection for its users. The rest, the unification of the sensor technology is expected to create football boots that are lighter, stronger, but still with a unique design and style.

Regardless of the style or function, soccer shoes have traveled a lot that started since King Henry VIII. Now, soccer shoes has become a design masterpiece with a piece of technology that is inserted into a prestigious product.
