Foot Locker Champions Local Voices For Latest “Summer Different” Campaign

by

Although recognized as a pioneer in sneaker culture, Foot Locker deeply values its connection with the community. It takes great pride in its dedication to fostering positive change at a local level, often by backing grassroots initiatives worldwide.

Following the festivities of its 50th anniversary the previous year, this year’s Spring/Summer 2025 campaign unites decades of involvement in local projects, ultimately expanding its partnerships and advocating for up-and-coming artistic groups in four European urban areas.

Under the banner “A Summer Unique to You,” the initiative empowers groups to express their unique perspectives on summer by emphasizing the core idea of inspiring individuals to celebrate their individuality, cultural background, and social connections through self-expression.

The groups responsible for the campaign not only have a genuine impact in the realms of fashion, music, and sports that Foot Locker is involved with, but they’ve also disrupted their individual sectors while using their power to foster positivity in their communities. Here are some examples: Lostboys, a versatile collective focusing on creative and street sports based in Nottingham, UK; Akwaaba World, originally a Milan radio station now turned football team showcasing diverse international sounds; Spain’s Winner Circle, who engage their audience through creativity; and Paris’ UNDERCOVER, a gathering spot for the city’s youth. Furthermore, the brand is collaborating with Akeem, Out of Bolo, HellHeaven11, Maison Binario, LA LIGUE, and 164 demonstrating their commitment to community involvement.

In her words, Slavka Jancikova, Vice President of Marketing for Foot Locker Europe, expresses the brand’s dedication to supporting local communities that contribute to sneaker culture. The “Summer Different” campaign highlights unique tales from vibrant, multicultural neighborhoods across Europe. She explains that this initiative aims to empower sneaker enthusiasts to create their genuine summer experiences – raw, unedited, and truthful. Foot Locker is thrilled about connecting with these passionate individuals and helping them express their personal style.

This summer, it’s anticipated that high-end running sneakers will make a splash. Four notable models are being highlighted this season by Foot Locker: the sleek New Balance 1000 from 1999, the archival ASICS GEL-KINETIC FLUENT, the bouncy Megaride from adidas, and Nike’s timeless Shox model, all of which are taking center stage in their current campaign.

Each collective has put together a unique guide to help discover hidden treasures scattered throughout Europe, ranging from local hotspots to shops, which can be obtained at specific Foot Locker outlets.
