SHOPPING FOR A SNEAKERHEAD?FOOT LOCKERHAS YOU COVERED

How would sneakers and sports look without the Swoosh? Thankfully, we’ll never know. There are a handful of milestone anniversaries going on under the Nike umbrella, but two of the most important are the Air Force 1’s 40th anniversary and Air Max technology’s 35th anniversary. Both innovations have seen countless iterations since the 1980s, and have cemented themselves as more than sportswear since. Shop Nike Basketball, Running and more heritage styles now.

Women-exclusive Air Jordans aren’t new but they’re decades behind their counterparts for men. Nevertheless, the last decade has included handfuls of sneakers designed by and for the ladies, which have been well-received – even amongst men! The Air Jordan 3 has been a go-to canvas for women’s offerings and some recent works of art are available right now at Foot Locker. On behalf of all women sneaker enthusiasts, thank you, Jordan Brand.

New Balance may be having a (prolonged) moment, but the North American company has been churning out high-quality products since 1906. Over the last 116 years, the Boston-based company has innovated on the performance and fashion fronts, with silhouettes like the 2002R marrying both worlds. The “Refined Future” collection (or “Protection Pack” if you must) was one of 2021’s most surprising general releases with follow-up styles winning over more fans for the brand. If you’ve never owned a pair of New Balance sneakers, do yourself a favor and change that right now – your future self will thank you.
