Foot Locker, Inc. is taking a big step forward for the autism community through its latest release of adaptive footwear alongside sports company Puma and Italian sportswear brand Diadora. In support of the autism community, Foot Locker, Inc. has joined forces with Puma and Diadora to bring two unique sneakers to the market to help raise awareness for autism. The two collaborations are created in tandem with designer Sarath Ton for Diadora and actor Ron Funches for Puma. Diadora's iconic N9002 sneaker receives an upgrade with a custom version designed by artist Sarath Ton – whose brother-in-law Joshua is an autistic adult. The sneaker features shock absorption and comes in a classic black and white motif highlighted with an infusion of multiple colors. The sneaker priced at $175 will be available starting April 27, on footlocker.com, footaction.com and champssports.com. Foot Locker, Inc. and Diadora will donate $10,000 from the proceeds of this collection to Autism Speaks.
