Who among us has wanted to order food and the latest sneakers dropped simultaneously, and receive both at the same time? What was once a futuristic dream is now a reality after Foot Locker and Uber Technologies, Inc. today announced a new partnership.

Over 1,000 Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, and Champs Sports are now available on the Uber Eats marketplace. Shoppers can now browse the entire store's inventory of footwear, apparel, and accessories through on-demand or scheduled delivery directly through the Uber Eats app.

Why It Matters

The timing of the announcement could not be better, as many families have begun back-to-school shopping (which will eventually transition into holiday shopping). The partnership gives shoppers a new seamless way to shop their favorite footwear and apparel brands, with on-demand delivery that brings their favorite styles directly to their door.

The new partnership also expands Uber Eats' rapidly growing retail marketplace. This now includes beauty, home improvement, electronics, sporting goods, and more.
