And just like last year, Footshop expresses its full support to those of us that face rejection and contempt from individuals, groups, and even state apparatus. We’re all different. And Footshop is a platform that can advocate for these differences. Explicitly or passively, we try to make the environment we engage in diverse, enriching, and open to discussion that will hopefully lead to an understanding betw

Occasionally, gaming and fashion reach a seemingly unlikely agreement - for example, Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with Fortnite, or the MOSCHINO collection featured in The Sims. The latest installation in the Animal Crossing series, titled New Horizons, which came out exclusively for the Nintendo Switch this March, joins them, albeit with a slight twist.

50 pairs of sneakers in stock and one employee? A lot of things have changed since then. We’re older, more experienced and our sneaker collections are bigger. Much bigger.

The brand Columbia has a fairly interesting history. Back in 1937, Paul and Marie Lamform, on the run from Nazi Germany, fleed to Portland, where they founded a small business making hats. The name of the company comes from the nearby river bearing the same name. The company’s global prosperity was achieved by Paul and Marie’s daughter, Gert Boyle and her husband.

Footshop’s history is filled with great moments. Today, we want to remember 2016, when legendary Japanese fashion designer, Yohji Yamamoto made his first appearance on our online store with a Y-3 collection Yohji Yamamoto Yohji was born in 1943. After he finished law school, he decided it wasn’t for him and instead, jumped headfirst into the world of fashion.
