The aerobics shoe in soft leather that made Reebok a major brand.

The Freestyle was the first shoe designed for aerobics, a fitness phenomenon that broke through in the early 1980s. The leather was so soft that it could be worn straight away.

The shoe sold in large numbers among women and was decisive for Reebok’s growth. It is still a shoe that many associate with the period.

Materials: Soft garment leather, rubber sole

Manufacture: Launched by Reebok in the USA in 1982.
