NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) today unveiled its 2024 multi-brand holiday campaign, Step Into Your Gift, just in time for the season of gifting.

Each ad celebrates the distinct style of these talents, elevating holiday fashion and underscoring Foot Locker’s role as the Heart of Sneakers.

Grounded in consumer insights, Step Into Your Gift is designed to spark joy and embody the energy of sneaker culture this holiday season, helping customers shine bright and find the perfect gifts with the help of Foot Locker’s Stripers as gifting experts. With exclusive releases and top styles for the entire family, Foot Locker positions itself as the go-to destination for this season’s most coveted gifts.

“Choosing the perfect gift, whether for yourself or someone special, is more than a holiday tradition – it’s an opportunity to create lasting memories,” said Kim Waldmann, Chief Customer Officer of Foot Locker, Inc. “Informed by Gen Z consumer insights, Step Into Your Gift brings an energetic, uplifting spirit that underscores Foot Locker’s commitment to putting our customers at the heart of everything we do. We’re taking the pressure off and reinvigorating the magic of gifting with a campaign that evokes nostalgia and celebrates the unique gifts we each possess.”
