For almost 50 years, Foot Locker has been one of the leading names in the sneaker and apparel industry. While there are various ways to purchase kicks and athletic clothing today, Foot Locker is still regarded as the go-to spot for sneakerheads and athletes.
Continuing to push sneaker and sports culture forward, Foot Locker unveiled its reimagined retail concept at its flagship store at 112 West 34th Street in New York City.
The new design seeks to attract the younger generation of sneaker culture with interactive activations such as engaging activity tables, social spaces perfect for capturing selfies, and more.
In partnership with Nike and the Jordan Brand, the store features the Foot Locker ‘Home Court,’ which offers the latest basketball products from several other top brand partners such as adidas, PUMA, New Balance, Under Armour, and more.
