Global retail giant Foot Locker, a division of Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), has introduced “The Heart of Sneakers,” a new global platform coinciding with its star-studded 2023 holiday campaign.
“The Heart of Sneakers” celebrates sneaker culture and highlights Foot Locker’s pivotal role as an originator and leader in the sneaker community. For enthusiasts, sneakers are more than just footwear; they are a way of life, and Foot Locker is the epicenter of it all. The brand’s iconic store associates, affectionately known as “Stripers,” continue to bridge the gap between sneakers and passionate sneakerheads.
This ongoing platform will seamlessly integrate into the brand’s campaigns, online and in-store experiences, community events, and more in the future.
