Foot Locker has invested $3 million in NTWRK, an e-commerce app that allows brands and celebrities to drop and sell their products through live “episodes” as consumers watch, chat and buy. The investment forms part of a series-A round of financing worth $10 million overall and co-led by Live Nation, the concert promotion and ticketing company. NTWRK was founded in 2018 with backing from Warner Brothers Entertainment. It is headquartered in Los Angeles and led by Aaron Levant, its chief executive, who was previously senior vice president of Reed Exhibitions. There he founded The Agenda Show, a trade show for streetwear, and led the launch of ComplexCon, a combination festival and exhibition for pop culture, music, art, food, sports, innovation and activism. NTWRK currently has partnerships with brands in Foot Locker's retail selection such as Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Puma, Champion and New Balance.
