Foot Locker is making a big announcement ahead of the 2024 NBA All-Star Game with Nike and Jordan Brand.
The global retailer is introducing The Clinic, a year-long program with Nike and Jordan Brand that will bring "the best of the court and culture to basketball fans, sneaker enthusiasts and local communities."
And there isn’t a better time for this first-of-its-kind partnership than at the NBA All-Star festivities in Indianapolis, where fans will see this new program come to life through interactive activations, basketball clinics, social media content, community events and much more.

"We’re thrilled to continue building upon Foot Locker’s leadership position in basketball," Frank Bracken, chief commercial officer at Foot Locker, told Fox Business Digital in a statement about The Clinic.
"Unveiling The Clinic with Nike and Jordan Brand during NBA All-Star Weekend, one of the biggest basketball moments of the year, will provide the perfect forum to give fans and consumers a first look at this year-long program."
The purpose behind The Clinic is to inspire the next generation of basketball, and as we’ve seen for decades now, the game goes well beyond the court. Foot Locker’s multi-year partnership with the NBA showcased that belief with its Heart of Sneakers platform.

Additional programming will include adidas’ Believe That Challenge, PUMA and Cheetos’ pop-up with their new product collaboration and a Converse styling panel. Exclusive products from Nike, Jordan Brand, adidas, PUMA, Under Armour and Curry Brand will also be available for NBA fans to purchase.
