Background
Foot Locker's presence in Israel is entirely franchise-based: since 2017, stores have been operated by Retailors Ltd., a subsidiary of Israel's Fox Group (Fox-Wizel), which also runs Nike and Converse retail in Israel. No donations, statements, or political spending by Foot Locker, Inc. itself in support of Israel were found — the Foot Locker Foundation's grants go to US youth, education, and community programs. Foot Locker was acquired by DICK'S Sporting Goods in 2025 and now operates as its subsidiary.
