Adidas acquired Reebok in 2006, paying $3.8 billion for it, but over the years Adidas has never managed to make the brand highly profitable. It wasn't until 2018 that Reebok returned to profitability, and in 2019, sales showed a two percent increase. Last year, the value of this asset was reduced to $1 billion by Adidas.
