We proudly honor and celebrate the courageous men and women who have served in the U.S. Military and extend gratitude for their dedicated service to our country. In recognition of Veterans Day, we asked team members to share their reflections on what being part of the military has meant to them and how it has shaped their lives and work today.  - Brandon Tilley, Senior Transportation Planner: "Learning the Marine Corps values and leadership traits pushed me to develop into the leader and team member I am today. Semper fidelis!” - Chris Graves, Director, Senior Domain Architect: "Being part of the military was massively impactful to my life, mostly helping me understand the strength of a well-functioning team and how to lift up others.” - Carlos Rodriguez, Director of Product Management, Loyalty: "My experiences in Basic, Tech School, and at various military installations taught me invaluable life lessons. They shaped me into the person I am today. I carry these lessons into my work, personal life, and interactions with family, friends, and others.”  - Jeffrey Smith, Lead Engineer, Finance Technology: "A life of service to others, whether here at Foot Locker or in the military, should be our highest aspiration and what brings contentment.” Thank you to all the veterans for your unwavering courage and sacrifice!  #TheHeartofSneakers #VeteransDay

Foot Locker is committed to providing continuous resources to the community in an effort to level the playing field within the sneaker industry. Our #REPYOURU campaign was intended to serve others beyond product, and celebrate the pride, excellence, and creativity that HBCUs display. #REPYOURU by dropping your HBCU in the comments!

Customers joined the celebration with an in-store activation in partnership with our Home Grown brand, Ballislife, where they got to enjoy an immersive basketball experience including a Ballislife pop-a-shot, a gaming competition, a photo station, and refreshments sponsored by Jarritos US.  To conclude the month, TENIS organized, “Sabor and Sip: A Latinx Flavor Experience”, and hosted a collaborative networking event with our EmpowHERed ERG.    Thank you to TENIS and all the team members who contributed and attended this year’s Latinx Heritage Month events! #TheHeartofSneakers #LatinxHeritageMonth
