Hibbett’s Post

We were honored to serve once again as the host sponsor of the Lindy Waters Foundation’s 2nd Annual Sponsorship Golf Tournament last weekend at the Cherokee Hills Golf Club in Tulsa, OK. The money raised provides higher educational scholarships to Native youth. Thank you to Nike, N7 and to Lindy Waters for the partnership for such an amazing cause!

In celebration of ASW in Indianapolis, Indiana Pacers' own Myles Turner helped us welcome Arsenal Tech High School to the City Gear Sole School family! We look forward to a meaningful and committed relationship with these kids for years to come!

Hibbett celebrated SBLVIII with Nike like never before! Hibbett X Nike Connected Loyalty Members were granted exclusive access to these super high-heat activations in Las Vegas! From team trivia and manicures to end zone dances and chances to win the Air Max DN on launch day, check out how we showed up in The End Zone! Thank you to Nike for your partnership and to all of our associates who brought these amazing experiences to life!

To celebrate this past weekend's Super Bowl and the Jordan Flight Path experience, the Cleared For Takeoff crew headed to Las Vegas to capture an engaging celebration with 30 female varsity flag football players from the Bishop Gorman High School. The private event took place at the Sahara Hibbett store in Las Vegas and included a surprise appearance and meaningful conversation with NFL Linebacker, Devin White of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Aja Johnson. During the exclusive event, the women were treated to full Jordan looks, professional make-up, custom jerseys branded with Team Johnson and Team White, media training, a photoshoot and $500 gift cards with a private shopping experience, courtesy of Hibbett and Jordan. 

In celebration of the recent Cincinnati, OH featured episodes of Fresh Off The Block, City Gear, in partnership with Nike, hosted an in-store event at one of our local stores with special guests Brince Etter and Mark Dorris! Both men do exceptional work in their communities and at City Gear, our goal is to give back to the communities we serve. On behalf of City Gear and Nike, Brince and Mark were both presented with $10,000 each for their respective organizations, Based on a True Story and the Leave Your Mark Foundation.

For the fourth consecutive year, we partnered with PUMA Group to present Children’s of Alabama with a combination of much-needed monetary donations, apparel, footwear and accessories to support Care Closet, Sugar Plum Shop and the CHIPS Center. Additionally, the hospital was gifted with 1,000 Pop-its toys, for hospital staff to use to help entertain distressed patients and their siblings, who may have accompanied the family on an emergency room visit.

As a professional athlete, Bryce Young is grateful to be in a position to inspire the next generation to pursue their dreams. As part of the Cleared for Takeoff launch in partnership with Jordan brand, Bryce surprised 25 local youth in Charlotte, North Carolina with a private shopping moment at Hibbett. Made possible in partnership with WINGS and the Carolina Youth Coalition, each child walked away a new pair of the Air Jordan 11 "Gratitude," autographs and pictures with Bryce, and a $1000 Hibbett gift card meant to Clear them for Takeoff for the next year ahead.

Through their 2023 “Sole School” program, now in its eighth year, Hibbett, City Gear and Nike have awarded 103 high schools and more than 2,500 students nationwide with a combination of in-kind donations, product, mentoring and job opportunities, valued at more than $650,000.

In celebration of the launch of the Air Jordan 11 "Gratitude," and in partnership with Jordan Brand, Hibbett is launching Cleared For Takeoff. We champion the pioneers who take culture and sport to new heights. We ask ‘why not’ and work to make the world better, encouraging others to do the same. And we see your style as radically being yourself in open conversation with the moment in time.
