Joe Foster's Inspiring Journey:
Joe Foster was born into the J.W Foster & Sons family business, founded by his grandfather. In 1958, Joe and his older brother Jeff founded "Mercury Sports Footwear," which later became Reebok. Joe played a pivotal role in sales, marketing, design, and expanding Reebok's presence. His meeting with American businessman Paul Fireman in 1979 led to the licensing and distribution of Reebok in the United States, transforming the company into a leading athletic apparel brand.
