Our world has changed dramatically over the last hundred years. We landed on the moon, sent an email for the first time and became captivated by the phenomenon of television. In this changeable world, one thing has remained constant: our love of sportswear.

The truth is that our passion for sportswear is the heartbeat of our existence. It has been for decades, and it will remain so, now and forever. It's a child-like excitement that overcomes us, a red glow upon our cheeks; it's the heartbeat of our lives. Into eternity.

This passion is in our genes, and it's unexplainable. No matter what sport we watch - tennis, football, swimming, anything - the beauty of the game is always inextricably linked to the clothing. Robey understood its role. So forgive us if we are overwhelmed by nostalgia at the sight of a shining Robey "R", in an old black and white photograph.

In those moments our thoughts return to our youth, to a time when Robey dominated the world of sport. We reminisce about the sight of gravel being swept away by supple leather shoes and the pride we felt over our gym shorts with the character `R'. We remember staring into shop-windows with desire, in a time when a tennis polo shirt was perfectly acceptable attire at a birthday party.

These feelings have never diminished, even when the words ‘marketing' and ‘designer' made their way into our vocabulary. Our love for sports footwear, shirts and shorts has remained intact, rock-solid. Like a heartbeat. And it will never stop beating.
