About FootAction
FootAction was a Foot Locker subsidiary specializing in athletic and urban footwear with a focus on streetwear-adjacent styling that bridged sports performance and urban fashion culture. Operating primarily in urban mall locations, FootAction carried Nike, Jordan, Adidas, and emerging streetwear brands with a more fashion-forward curation than standard Foot Locker stores.
The chain was known for its connection to hip-hop and urban culture, stocking limited-release Jordans and culturally significant sneakers alongside performance athletic footwear. FootAction's store aesthetic and product mix appealed to younger, urban-influenced consumers who wanted sneakers as fashion statements as much as sports equipment.
Foot Locker closed the FootAction brand in 2021, converting some locations to Foot Locker stores. Former FootAction customers will find similar inventory at Foot Locker, Finish Line, and sneaker-focused sections of JD Sports.
