Foot Locker invests 3 million USD in Super Heroic Inc

Athletic retailer Foot Locker has announced a strategic investment in Super Heroic Inc, a startup selling sportswear for kids. Super Heroic was founded in 2016 by two former Nike executives: Jason Mayden, who served as Lead Designer for the Jordan brand, and Harshal Sisodia, former Global Digital Brand Director. Foot Locker invested 3 million US dollars to get a minority stake in the business and serve as board adviser, bringing the total raised by Super Heroic since its foundation to 10 million dollars. Additionally, Foot Locker will be the first brick and mortar retailer to carry Super Heroic’s products in the US.
