The Reebok Princess is a simplified athletic/casual sneaker similar to its older stablemate, the Freestyle. In the late 1980s, Reebok had several smoothed out Freestylesque sneakers, such as the Rhapsody. Following the Rhapsody, the Princess, Empress and Dutchess came along. All are very similar, and differed mainly in color trim. The Princess is mainly available in white or black leather, but it can sometimes be found with blue, pink, or other colored trim and soles. It's also available in wide width sizes. Today, while the Freestyle might be less common, the Princess is available in most large department stores and shoe chain shops, and it is worn mostly as a comfortable shoe by waitresses, cashiers, and other such professionals. It is also used in the sport of competition aerobics. The Princess usually was made of garment leather which was very thin and very soft. This was one of its main qualities. But now Princess is made of man made material called "synthetic leather", making this legendary and iconic sneaker a very ordinary shoe.
