Foot Locker Pulls All adidas Yeezy Kicks From Its Stores
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jonathan Leibson / Getty The fallout from Kanye West’s antisemitic views continues to pile on as Foot Locker has ordered its stores to take all Yeezy products off their floor and online site. According to Footwear News, Foot Locker has made the decision to stop selling all Yeezy-related products from its stores and its websites after adidas announced that they were terminating their partnership with the controversial MAGA rapper. That’s why if you walk into your neighborhood Foot Locker today you’ll notice there aren’t anymore Yeezy Boost bricks sitting on the shelves, and its certainly not because people bought them out.

Nike To Pull Its Kicks From Foot Locker & Other Major Retailers: Report
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: aqua / aqua For weeks now there’s been talk that Nike will eventually cut ties with Foot Locker and other stores and websites in order to sell their own products and get 100% of the revenue it garners.

With word that Nike will be opening up more brick and mortar stores across the globe and making the SNKRS app more “fair,” they’ll need all the product they have in order to make both plans a huge success. At the same time that ...
Woman Shanked Outside Foot Locker Over Nike Dunks
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Supreme / Supreme Apparently, traveling with weapons while attempting to cop highly-coveted sneakers is a thing. A woman was stabbed outside a Los Angeles Foot Locker while waiting to cop a pair of Nike Dunks. Some back story, the Nike Dunk was first released in 1985, and the poor man’s Air Jordan 1, no shots, quickly gained popularity thanks to the multitude of colorways they were released in. Throughout the years their demand has gone up and down depending on if skaters were rocking them (see: Nike Dunk SB’s) and if Nike was dropping retros. Over the last couple of years, though, they’ve again risen in popularity, with new colorways routinely selling out within minutes of becoming available. So for a recent release of Nike Dunks, there was a line outsid...
#BRUHnews Foot Locker Employee Allegedly Ejaculated Into Sneakers At Work
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: aqua / aqua Sneakers are known to inspire passion, but this is ridiculous. A Foot Locker employee was allegedly having sex with and ejaculating into sneakers. But the extra gross part here is that said employee put the sneakers back into their boxes. A video of a man engaging in self-love in a storage room of a Foot Locker went viral this week for all the wrong reasons. Actually, there is no good reason. Related Stories Reportedly there is footage of the ejaculate in the sneakers’ insoles and that’s about as much as we want to think about it, ever. “As you can see, we’re at Foot Locker here, there is nobody else here, only my sh*t, and I am fully, completely, 100 percent sexy and naked,” says the sneaker freak in the clip. It went down in Ontario, Canada ...
