Sneakerheads – those addicted to new kicks – are an odd bunch, and shoe retailer Foot Locker is celebrating their fanatical passion with its annual ‘Week of Greatness’ campaign. This year, it is bringing celebrity sneaker fans to the party by dropping #BecauseSneakers, a global sneaker anthem, to the week when new designs come to market.

The company is continuing its legacy of debuting a lineup of the most globally sought-after sneakers, apparel and accessories for the iconic campaign’s seventh consecutive year. #BecauseSneakers, by BBDO New York, speaks to how a sneakerhead’s every impulse and motivation revolves around their extreme love for the shoes they wear. From early wake-up calls in different time zones to secure the latest drop to secretly sniffing box-fresh sneakers, this anthem taps into the universal culture and quirks shared by sneakerheads.

Spanning across different backgrounds, lifestyles, countries, languages and personal shoe closets, Foot Locker’s campaign brings together an impressive roster of notable sneaker enthusiasts, including Meek Mill, DJ Khaled and his son Asahd, Paul George, Ben Simmons, JR Smith, J. Balvin, Bad Bunny, Don C, Nigel Sylvester, Haha Davis, Ronnie 2K and Juice WRLD. To celebrate this passion and global moment of greatness, Foot Locker’s content also features global sneakerheads, including: Qias Omar (US), Ray Polanco, Jr. (US), Kai Bent-Lee (Canada), Anna Bediones (Canada), Federico Schwartz (Italy) and Jeanne Santoli (France).
