Vending machines usually bring products such as soda and candy to mind, but Reebok International is using vending machines to distribute their kicks instead. We told you about Reebok Travel Trainers back in 2002 (Shoe Roll Ups TC), which were sold in select locations in Japan via vending machine. Now, sneaker vending will be available here in the US at stores such as Shoe Biz in San Francisco and Michael K’s in New York. Customers can choose from three styles, Metro, First Class and Business Class, and a variety of colors. To purchase, shoppers just swipe their credit card. Reebok is considering installing vending machines in a number of its own stores and various specialty stores, as well as setting them up at a variety of races and fitness events. Trendsetters continue to tell us they are searching for novel shopping experiences, and it looks like Reebok may have hit the mark with this buzzworthy innovation. Be on the lookout for more examples of quick stop shopping in the future.

Can you try them on first though?



(I want a baby vending machine.)

That is just weird

I don't buy shoes unless I can try them on first.

And what if the machine screws up? What if whoever filled the maching put a buch of size 7's in with the size 10's????
