Footwear News (FN) is the publication of record for senior footwear and fashion executives and a must-read for shoe-obsessed consumers. Since 1945, top CEOs, brand leaders, retailers and designers from the fashion world and beyond have turned to FN for breaking news, analysis and must-read profiles on the most powerful people in the footwear industry. In addition to business and industry content, the publication covers sneaker news and releases, celebrity style and fashion trends that rule the streets, runway and red carpet.

FN’s multi-platform content coverage expands across digital, social and print as well as branded content, events and summits. The FN CEO Summit, which takes place annually, brings together the industry’s game-changing leaders. The annual FN Achievement Awards, now in its 37th year, honors the year’s most influential executives, branch architects, change makers and style stars. Past honorees have included Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Stan Smith and many more. The annual Women Who Rock event recognizes the female leaders who are breaking boundaries at a critical time.

The publication has been owned by Penske Media since 2014, and operates as part of Fairchild Media Group, which also owns WWD, Beauty Inc. and Sourcing Journal as well as the Fairchild Live events business.
