The Athlete’s Foot (TAF) became a bookmark in sneaker culture as the chain diminished in numbers across the country and stores like Jimmy Jazz, DTLR, Villa and Shoe Palace became more prominent. What didn’t happen to The Athlete’s Foot was the letter from Nike and now the brand and store chain is in the midst of a resurgence in the U.S. TAF is one of the few sneaker chains to offer a franchise model. They recently became one of the few sneaker retailers to add a woman owned franchise location. As the brand begins to roll out an omnichannel experience in the future, it’s critical that they consolidate their presence online. The newly designed website is the first step with e-commerce to follow. The Athlete’s Foot (theathletesfoot.com)
