A beloved retail name has made its exciting comeback to the heart of Liverpool.
Foot Locker has officially opened its new store on the ground floor of the former Topshop location at Keys Court, marking a significant moment for both the brand and the city. This newly launched outlet spans an impressive 646 square meters, representing the eagerly awaited resurgence of Foot Locker’s physical presence in Liverpool. Additionally, it signifies the beginning of a revitalization effort at Keys Court, a bustling area that connects Church Street with the popular Liverpool ONE’s Peter’s Lane.
Previously, Foot Locker had a store at Liverpool ONE on South John Street, which closed its doors in August 2024. In its place, the lower level now features a vibrant Sephora outlet, while the upper floor is home to several other well-known brands such as Hobbs, Whistles, Phase Eight, and Inside Story.
Landsec, the company behind the transformation, is reimagining Keys Court into a two-sided shopping arcade that will include three new boutiques, one of which will be the upscale jewelry brand, Monica Vinader. This redevelopment aims to enhance the shopping experience in the area, making it more appealing to both locals and visitors.
To commemorate its grand opening weekend, Foot Locker is set to launch the exclusive ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 this month, available for pre-release at their Liverpool store from day one, which is Friday, January 23.
Neil Carter, Vice President of Foot Locker for the UK and Ireland, expressed his enthusiasm, stating: "The return of Foot Locker to Liverpool is a significant opportunity for us to reconnect with the city's fashion-savvy community, who appreciate style, functionality, and authenticity on a daily basis. We are eager to rekindle our relationship with Liverpool’s dynamic sneaker and fashion community by offering exclusive Foot Locker releases, including the GEL-Kayano 20, along with giveaways to enhance their wardrobe."
Donna Howitt, the Deputy Centre Director at Liverpool ONE, shared her excitement about Foot Locker's reopening, saying: "We are thrilled to have Foot Locker back at Liverpool ONE, and it’s a testament to the brand's commitment to the city. Their return underscores Liverpool ONE's ongoing success in attracting prominent brands that resonate with our creative, fashion-forward and culturally engaged community. The launch of an exclusive pre-release further emphasizes the confidence that brands have in Liverpool ONE as a premier destination for unveiling innovative new concepts and products."
