Foot Locker is bringing the heat to the holiday season.
Throughout December, Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker heat up the month with six of the most-anticipated Nike and Jordan Brand releases of the season. From iconic retro returns to futuristic silhouettes, these sneaker drops celebrate the legacy, innovation, and cultural impact that define sneaker culture.
The sneakers, which will be available in select stores and online via launch reservation, bring something unique for sneaker fans and collectors alike, blending sport heritage, modern design, and unmistakable holiday heat.
First up, the Nike Diamond Turf in the ‘Cowboys’ colorway will launch on December 5th. Born from ’90s cross-training culture, the Diamond Turf embodies versatility for athletes who do it all. This Dallas-inspired colorway nods to Deion “Prime Time” Sanders, the dual-sport icon whose game and style transcend eras.
The Diamond Turf, a long icon of the ’90s Nike Era of training footwear, makes a stylish appearance for the Holiday season. The pair will be available in adult sizing via launch reservation at footlocker.com and in select Foot Locker stores nationwide.
Speaking of ’90s classics, the Fresh Water Air Griffey I is making a return on December 12th. The Air Griffey Max I “Freshwater” celebrates Ken Griffey Jr.’s Seattle legacy and baseball heritage with its teal, black, and white colorway — a true ’90s symbol reborn.
