Catch up with Celebrity Sneakers at Foot Locker Foundation’s OOF

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

This week in New York City Foot Locker Foundation held its 9th annual “On Our Feet” charity event to raise money for the UNCF, offering scholarships to kids who need them. As always, the party was solid and a lot of money went to a good cause. A fair number of athletes and celebrities swung by too, and we got a chance to catch up with some of them ranging from actor Mickey Rourke to former king-of-handle Duke/Bulls star Jason Williams. Even a few NFL players, a boxer and a SI swimsuit model. Check the videos below and find out what was on the feet of some of our guests.

On Our Feet

Monday, October 27th, 2008

On Tuesday, October 21st Foot Locker Foundation, Inc. hosted the eighth annual “On Our Feet” fundraising Gala in New York City’s renowned Rainbow Room. For the past five years, the event has benefited the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) through a scholarship program to provide deserving students the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

The dress code was black-tie and sneakers, and the result was impressive. Business executives, athletes and celebrities brought their A game, breaking out quality kicks that shined bright like the NYC skyline that surrounded us.  I’ll never wear wingtips again.  Enjoy.

p.s. Can you guess which NBA star is rocking the polka dot Air Max’s at the end?
