Foot Locker has announced the launch of an exclusive basketball-inspired capsule collection designed by Melody Ehsani, the new creative director of its women’s business. It will be the first of several capsule collections that the international sports retailer plans to drop this year. The collection highlights colors inspired by nature and temperature. More specifically, thermal patterns are used to reflect an individual’s response to the environment and what connects people at a global level. Except for the shapewear (bra and bike short), 70 percent of the collection is unisex/neutral. This first capsule collection will debut on June 10. All pieces, whose prices range from $10 to $80, will be available online and in-store at Foot Locker locations across the U.S. and Canada, as well as at select stores in Europe and Asia-Pacific. In the U.S., the launch will be preceded by a digital crowd-sourcing program to determine the locations of pop-up shops where the line will be available before the rest of the world. The launch will be accompanied by a “No More Next” virtual festival inviting customers to engage in interactive conversations and product sweepstakes.
