FOOT LOCKER QUOTE:
“It’s our goal at Foot Locker to bring the excitement of sneaker culture to local communities around the world, and that’s what our new Power Store model is all about,” said Frank Bracken, VP and GM of Foot Locker. “We’re focused on creating immersive brand connections that are authentically tied to the neighborhoods they serve; from the local store staff that we hire to the products and experiences we offer.”
CHRISTIAN CROSBY QUOTE:
“We are humbled and overwhelmed by the support Foot Locker has provided, not only in their ability to showcase and drive our apparel offerings, but also in their unwavering support of the values behind our messaging and vision,” said LLN Founder, Christian Crosby. “One of my first jobs was as a Sales Associate with Foot Locker in 2008, which makes this partnership feel natural and predestined. But I could never have anticipated the affinity Foot Locker has shown toward the entrepreneurial community. To be in a position where LLN products are consistently tagged and posted by athletes, musicians, influencers, and people living life Nice, selling-out at Foot Locker locations and backed by the resources and connections of the Sixers Innovation Lab is truly an entrepreneurial dream.”
