Under Armour has announced that it will require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to return to the office, as originally reported by Footwear News’ Shoshy Ciment. The decision arrives as the brand looks to open its doors in 2022 after delaying its original plan to bring back employees to the office on September 13 of this year.

“The health, safety and well-being of our teammates, as well as their families, are our top priority,” said Tchernavia Rocker, Under Armour’s chief people and administrative officer to Footwear News. “We want to provide teammates with a safe work environment and at this time, we believe that being vaccinated is the way to keep our team healthy and safe.”

Under Armour will require all employees to be fully vaccinated by December 31, 2021, as offices reopen in January of 2022. However, retail and distribution workers are not required to be vaccinated but must wear masks at work if unvaccinated.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
