What to know about Foot Action
Footaction is a retired US mall-based sneaker chain founded in 1976 and operated as a standalone banner by Foot Locker Inc., which bought the business out of Footstar's bankruptcy in 2004. Stores stocked basketball and lifestyle footwear from Nike, Jordan, adidas, Puma and New Balance alongside branded apparel and limited releases aimed at young streetwear shoppers. Foot Locker wound the banner down through 2022, closing the remaining doors or converting them to Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker; the footaction.com domain now leads to Foot Locker.
