As the world works to recover from the continued health and economic impacts of

"Heading back to school in 2020 is inherently unlike anything our youth have 
experienced before, and may look very different depending on their location," 
said Richard Johnson, CEO and Chairman of Foot Locker, Inc. "Whether they 
continue their studies from home or back in the classroom, the basic needs of 
our students remain a constant. We aim to provide as many students as possible 
with a new pair of shoes, so they can look and feel their best going into the 
new school year."

Foot Locker, Inc. has partnered with several associations – from global 
charitable organizations to local community service centers – to ensure the 
footwear its donating lands on the feet of kids in need. Soles4Souls (

) will serve as the anchor partner of the program, enabling and facilitating 
Foot Locker, Inc.'s donation across seven countries, positively impacting more 
than 19,000 kids. 

"Foot Locker has built their business on understanding what people need, 
community by community. We could not ask for a better partner to help serve 
those communities by providing free, high quality athletic shoes to those most 
in need," said Buddy Teaster, CEO and President of Soles4Souls. "Working 
together, Soles4Souls and Foot Locker will be there to ensure students have 
what they need as they head back to school so they're safe and confident. With 
so much change right now, knowing that thousands of kids can count on a new 
pair of shoes is a big deal and we're proud to be a part of that effort."

dubbed "Collaboraid," aiming to aid communities through exclusive

they face today," said Johnson. "From a product perspective, we are proud to 
announce this support will come through 'Collaboraid,' Foot Locker, Inc.'s
