Best gift ever? We think so too. You can cop more than just sneaks at Foot Locker, too, as they carry apparel and accessories.
Foot Locker is coming to our shores under MAP Active. This is the same company that brought FitFlop back to the Philippines during the last quarter of 2021.
"This new alignment allows us to bring the culture of youth active lifestyle and sneaker enthusiasts to Philippines to the highest standard. We are very delighted and honored that Foot Locker has entrusted MAPA to provide the best experience for its customers both offline and online," said V.P. Sharma, chief exec of the MAP Group.
