Traditionally, June belongs to the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community. 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.

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.

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.
