One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions
The Quintessential Sneaker Destination
Foot Locker, a globally recognized athletic footwear and apparel retailer, has transformed from its humble beginnings in 1974 to a go-to destination for both sneaker enthusiasts and casual shoppers alike. Originating in the US, it has now spread its reach to numerous countries around the world. Known for its iconic black and white logo and vast array of products, from high-performance athletic shoes to the latest in streetwear trends.
Growing in Tandem With Sneaker Culture
Foot Locker was a subsidiary of the Woolworth Corporation, a company that at the time was trying to transition from its variety store roots. Seeing the potential in the growing athletic footwear market, Woolworth Corporation launched Foot Locker as a natural extension of its retail business, positioning it as a specialized vendor for athletic gear. While other retailers offered a broad range of products, Foot Locker's niche focus allowed it to delve deeper into the specifics of athletic footwear, which was gaining popularity not just among athletes but also among the general public. This was a time when the lines between sportswear and everyday wear were beginning to blur, with sneakers becoming an emblem of casual fashion.
More Than Just Sneakers
While sneakers remain the cornerstone of Foot Locker's offering, the company's inventory has evolved to offer products suited for consumers interested in products from athletic brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Puma. From basketball jerseys to running gear, yoga attire to backpacks, the product lineup caters to a multitude of athletic and casual shopping wants. This diversified offering has turned Foot Locker into more than just a shoe store and into an all-encompassing shopping experience for consumers looking for athletic clothing.
Global Footprint
The growth of Foot Locker has been limited to the US. The brand is also active in the international market, with shops in Europe, Asia, Australia, and more. Today, Foot Locker operates over 3000 stores globally, not only under its flagship name but also under other names like Lady Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, and Champs Sports.
